Report
We have been bringing our pet dog to the Animal Health Clinic for close to 15 years, since he was a puppy. The Animal Health Clinic and staff have been very professional in their work, understanding of the customer's concern and very fair with the price. Our pet has also gone through 3 surgeries during that time and all were done with care and compassion. I would highly recommend this Vet Office. Are they taking on new patients, I don't know?
