Ive been meaning to write a review about the amazing establishment that is the Tranquility Veterinary Clinic for about a decade now, since I moved out of the area. I shouldve gotten to this sooner, but here it is: If you live anywhere within a feasible drive of this clinic, you should bring your pets here. They are nothing short of the best. Dr. Christensen, who cared for six of our dogs over the years. He was kind, informative, understanding, and thorough. He always made sure we left with what we needed, and always reiterated that if we had any questions at all to get in touch with him. I last spoke to Dr. Christensen just about a year ag, for questions about my current pet. He was happy to offer his advice, even though its been years since we were his clients. Hes a great person, and a great Vet. But beyond his expertise and professionalism, hes also compassionate and truly relates to his patients and their owners. My Cairn Terrier lived to be 21 years old, I had her since I was 6. Her name was Todo, and up until her last day, she was just fine. What we believed to be a stroke happened, and one day when I tried to let her in after doing her business, she simply would not come. She laid in the grass, seemingly happy, but unable to move. She had soiled herself, and made brief, but futile attempts to walk. We knew that she was quite elderly, but as all pet owners are, you simply never prepare yourself for "that day." After his examination of Todo (yes, we spelled it that way), we came to the decision that it was time to let her go. The doctor was kind and compassionate, explained the process, offered to let me hold her (which of course I did) and ensured she passed as quickly and painlessly as possible. My father and I, who had taken her to the Vet that day, were emotionally destroyed. We could barely hold it together enough to thank the doctor and the vet techs that helped. As we left the examination room, my father, choked up, turned to Dr. Christensen and asked what we owed for his services that day. The doctor simply replied, "No. Go home. Well handle this later." Not many people would do that, and in a brief story, sums up this clinic. Everyone there is professional, educated, willing to go out of their way, and beyond all else, understanding and compassionate. If you can make the trip, please dont overlook this establishment for your pets care. They are absolutely the best. Thank you to all the employees there, and especially to Dr. Christensen for your help over the years. Sorry it took me so long to write this, but please know Ive never forgotten all your help over the years.

I couldnt be happier with the entire staff. The care Dr. Christiansen gave my mastiff was phenomenal. I went to 2 other vets about my mastiffs cherry eye, and they both stated that the surgery probably wouldnt take and it was better to just remove the tear ducts. Dr. Christiansen convinced me to try to fix them instead (he had a good point - once you remove them, you can never put them back in). The surgery took longer than expected, but it was a success! So far the glands are still in! I am so glad he took the extra time during surgery to make sure it was done correctly. My baby also use to get extremely nervous at the vet (last time he shot explosive diarrhea all over the walls!). The technician, doctor, and rest of the staff at Tranquility knew just how to handle him and I never saw my boy react so well! Everyone is very friendly and there is no long waiting, nor a crowded waiting room. Ive been to quite a few other vets and can give you some sort of negative about them all - but not this one. Tranquility is now my main clinic!

My family is forever grateful for the wonderful care that Dr. Christensen and the staff of the Tranquility Veterinary Clinic gave our dog, Emmie. Professional, kind and genuinely concerned care that allowed Emmie to enjoy a good life while she lived with the challenges of her serious illness. Although Emmies health issues were understood to be incurable, Dr. Christensen and the clinic provided compassionate care that gave us comfort and gave Emmie some quality time with people who dearly loved her...and still miss her. Our sincerest gratitude to this wonderful organization for all you do. In a word, youre the best, thank you.

These two Drs. - Christiansen and Hewitt are simply wonderful. When I had a scare with my GSD, they took him in right away. I have always felt as though they wanted to give the best care possible to my dogs and I feel very comfortable trusting in all they do. They even try to help cut costs when possible without losing quality of care. The vet techs are kind and so effective especially with the big dogs like mine and the ladies at the front counter are always great on the phone and in person and so patient! A great office all around. Thank you for several wonderful years and many more to come.

My family has been using this vet for a few years now, and last year my dog was attacked by another dog and we rushed to Tranquility Vet. Dr. Michelle Hewitt and the rest of the staff did amazing work and saved her life. I trust them whole-heartedly, and theyre all always amazing. Their prices are VERY reasonable, its no question I would hate going anywhere else but Tranquility!

We recently moved to the area and switched to Tranquility. Wow, are they impressive. The vet took a long time checking our Bishon out, playing with her, talking to us about what he felt was necessary and unnecessary, saving us money. Very thorough and more importantly, *loving* vets here. The front desk staff was also very friendly and efficient. Well be regulars for sure!

My Vet retired and we went to the one who took over. Was not good. So yesterday afternoon one of my dogs got sick we called Tranquility and the front desk person was great had us come in right a way and we saw Dr. Paul Henrich, what a wonderful men, he took his time talking to us also he cared about my dog. I am so happy that we found a wonderful Vet Clinic to go too.

Only vet I care to use. Recently visited to have my 22yr old cat put down. Staff is always kind and compassionate especially in the worst of circumstances. May be a tad pricey, but I believe thats just business, animals and their care have become a priority for people like they havent been before and you get what you pay for and Im happy to do so at this location.

Dr.Paul is the most knowledgeable & compassionate Vet you could ever dream of having. I never feel rushed, I always walk away knowing my dogs are getting the BEST care ever. The Staff is beyond helpful & have the same compassionate love for each dog, cat, ferrets etc that walk through their doors. If you want the best--look no further, this is the place.

Our family has used this excellent veterinary practice for decades. They are extremely knowledgeable, always kind, and always have your pets and your best interests as their primary concern. Our dogs have had serious problems. We always knew that the dogs would get the best care available, and the best specialist recommendation if needed.
