Recheck - Courtesy

Everyone. The young lady at the front desk - check in and check out were easy. The vet tech (I think her name is Melissa - apologies for not remembering) and Dr. Dell (that's easy to remember - ha) - they patiently listened and answered questions. You all were great. See you next year for Skelly's next visit. Thanks, Ben Faber

Everyone that worked with our dog Tucker Lopez. Thank you!

Alexis Lopez & Tucker

Drop Off Surgery/Procedure

Loved the friendliness of an excitable Goldendoodle. He was very comfortable other than rolling over, and your place was very clean which is wonderful as well. Doctor and techs were all great and very informative and did an extensive exam. Thank you and IF we ever have an issue again you will see us.

I felt that the doctors explained everything very thoroughly as well as answer all the different / crazy / numerous questions that I had. They were not only treating my dog but me/my family as well♥️
