Report
I had my first appointment today with my new kitten and the staff and whole experience were amazing. I called before I even had the kitten to arrange an appointment and they were so welcoming and helpful. I was a few minutes late for my appointment and they were very accommodating. I was able to run through all my concerns and questions and the Vet was so gracious and answered all of them with a smile. The location is beautiful and quiet so its not stressful for pets.

They took care of all 3 of our cats!! Two recent adoptions (girls) and a new foster (big guy) that we're hoping to adopt if they get along! All of them were fixed on the same day! Everyone is doing great and there were no issues with the healing process. The drop off was in adherence to the COVID-19 restrictions and very easy. I highly recommend this Vet Hospital!!

I have been taking my cats for almost 20 years to see Dr. Doris Neculoiu. I drive my cats 90 minutes each way. She's worth it.

A wonderful vet tech works here, who also happens to be my daughter, but I'm sure that hasn't biased my opinions at all! Conscientious, caring, skilled and humane, she and the skilled doctor and others at Albion Hills will take good care of you.
