  • "Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. My Rosey is somewhat timid in new environments and anytime she has to be on a leash. The staff was very understanding of her being scared at the vet. I felt very confident they were kind to her during her overnight stay after surgery. I highly recommend this vet clinic!"
