Extremely polite and professional staff at every step of the appointment. Respect for my living situation and my inability to afford the diagnostic services at this time. Charlie was examined and Dr Allison Doherty answered all questions thoroughly. I was given multiple resources for assistance. I will be returning once approved by Feeding Pets of Kathy

The entire staff at this office has gone above and beyond to save my two dogs from Parvo. Dr. Jon and the staff were incredible, working with me in every way possible. This office was incredibly cautious and careful with spreading disease, They cautiously treated the dogs in the car with a new antibody treatment- Stephanie
