I am one of the owners of this Hospital, and I feel the need to respond to the post of the previous posting due to the inaccuracy of the claims made and the slander that has been posted against the practice. My wife and I have been building over the past 2 and a half years of owning this practice. If a client comes in screaming and threatening to harm my wife, my doctors, my staff, or myself we take things very seriously. If a client does this they will cease to be a client. After we discussed this incident with the client, and she calmed down she gave us the list of phone numbers she had called as she called them from her cell phone. We then all agreed that she called a wrong number and that the claims made had nothing to do with our hospital, and that the male she spoke to over the phone was erroneous. We can not know who the client called, but with all female staff that work in reception and answer phones, it was impossible for her to speak to a male receptionist. Again, the client profusely apologized after the facts were exposed. The client was asked to leave due to cursing and threats, which even continued after it was realized she did not call our Hospital. We care deeply for our clients pets, but will not tolerate threating and erratic behavior towards staff and our Doctors. We take care of our employees, as well as we take care of our clients pets and that reputation is listed in the large number of positive reviews on this site. We have enormous hearts, but that does not mean we will allow our people to be abused.

I understand they have to make money but the prices of this place is just ridiculous. I made the mistake of bringing my dog here when we first adopted him two years ago.. they told us we had to give him a bunch of shots that we later learned were not necessary and cost a fortune! My dog also suffered for almost 2 years with bad ear infections. We paid a fortune for medicines and cultures to be taken, just for it to continue being a problem. You would think they might of mentioned that ear infections are very common in dogs who have an allergy to grain. Thankfully a friend did mention this to me and we switched to a grain free dog food and not one ear infection since! Now we just adopted a feral kitten and against my better judgement, I decided to try and give them one more chance. Just to see my cat and give him his beginning shots was $200, I looked up several places that charge only $50 for such treatment. The vet and staff are very friendly but I need more from my vet then kindness and courtesy. I would of been a life long and loyal client but seeing the price gauging of this place time after time.. I will never go back!

Great doctors, sadistic and cruel male employee. We called and because our pug was going blind, the man told us we should let them kill and stuff him for display for 1 or 2 hundred dollars. They denied it when she went to the location up and down. They are overpriced, costing thousands for the most basic visits. Let me emphasize this again, they wanted to kill a perfectly happy healthy pug to put on display just because he was going blind. These arent the actions of people who love and care for animals. You should look elsewhere. The nurses are usually sweet, but this facility as a whole cares more about the bottom dollar than your animals. My mother was so upset about what that man said, crying... Instead of consoling her, the man in question threw her out of the office. If theyll treat a person this way, what do they do to your animals outside your supervision?

Nice staff. Clean office. Knowledgeable. Went only once bc I was looking for a holistic vet but instead they pushed for multi vaccines including unnecessary Lepto, Lymes, Kennel cough, ect., for a 8 week old pup. They respected my wishes when I declined. Only gave rabis & DA2PP. Sorry but not every pup immediately needs 12 vaccines. Thought a holistic vet would know that. Research Jean Dodd and prevent dog cancer. Other then that they were a normal medical veterinarian business.

Dr Howe and staff have been wonderful. She has given my dog many Reiki treatments as well as regular veterinary care. My dog was gravely ill and she went well above and beyond what any other vet has ever done for him. Sadly, my dog had to be put down and she even made a house call to do the procedure at home. I highly recommend Dr Howe. She truly cares for your pet without unnecessary testing.

I am so happy to find this place for our Rottweiler. We were misdiagnosed by another vet and wanted to get a second opinion. The staff here was extremely friendly and took excellent care of our dog. I will be using them going forward for all of my dogs needs.

Wonderful doctors, vet techs and support staff. Ive been taking my cats & kittens to this office since the early 90s and this is by far the best crew to be there! Compassionate, professional and thorough...
