My kittens had a vaccine reaction this last week, unfortunate, but it can happen. The care and attention they received from Dr. Simms was second to none. She genuinely cared for their well-being. She gave me practical advice to help me get them through the reaction and now they’re back to their energetic selves. I highly recommend this vet clinic.

We recently had to say goodbye to our girl, Zoe after 16 wonderful years. They had a dimly lit room, with soft music playing, and a fuzzy blanket laid out for her. We really did appreciate this kindness and compassion.
As well, we also received a card in the mail offering their condolences, as well as a donation made on their behalf to “The Dream Team Fund,” in memory of Zoe. This made our day.
We are so very grateful for Dr. Simms and her team. Thank you. 💕

I just want to take a moment to commend Dr. Martin. He's one heck of a fantastic Vet. He's the perfect mix of compassionate and professional.
He's taken fantastic care of my girls over the years, and helped… give my oldest, Lady, 18 long happy years of life. He just spayed my new puppy, Rosie, the other day, and it dawned on me that I haven't given him the credit he deserves. We've always had faith in his judgement, and I'm amazed at how well he can communicate with both pet and owner. truly a great man representing a great facility.

Sharing our lives with four fur babies translates to many vet visits - especially now that they are all seniors. The doctors and staff of this hospital are the absolute best - they take such excellent care of… our babies. Dr. Martin has always provided the best treatment and advice and always finds time to fit us in when any of the babies need medical attention - or Mama is a little stressed and worried over something that is probably minor! Just last week we had to say goodbye to our oldest (20 years)cat - once again, Dr. Martin and staff went above and beyond to help her cross the rainbow

Of course you never want to HAVE to make an emergency vet visit but when one happens it's nice to know your pets are in safe hands. my cat was hit by a car quite a few years ago and while they couldn't save one… of his back legs, they did take wonderful care of him (and me) while keeping me informed and him as comfy as possible. it's been more than five years and he's as happy as he ever was! so grateful to everyone who works here

I typically don’t do reviews however I feel it’s the least we could do. We have been through the ringer with our dogs over the last year and one of our fur babies fell quite ill on October 23rd. Dr Simms was… extremely thorough and sent us to VSC for further testing. After a while in ICU she was released back to us to heal. Dr Simms called me every single day for weeks to check in on Daisy and to go over what was going on with her. She never rushed me if I had questions, and was beyond patient, compassionate, kind and the list goes on! It is because of this amazing hospital and

We had to bring in our beloved Setter to be euthanized, Jake lived a full life for 11 years. My heart was breaking and I didn’t know if I could get through it. So much care and compassion was given by Dr Martin… and his team, their love for animals was clearly visible, they made Jake as comfortable as possible and made the experience as bearable for me as they could, explaining what was happening throughout the whole procedure , I really appreciate your kindness.
