We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Maggie and all the staff of Animal Medical Center! We originally met Dr. Maggie in a crisis with our elderly beagle who was suddenly suffering terribly. We were panicked, because we didn't want to take our beloved Wesley to the local vet (for reasons best left unstated). AMC let us come on a Sat., after hours, with our other dog (Zoey) along for comfort, and gave our sweet boy the peaceful passing we desired for him.

We wanted to bury him at home. Dr. Maggie even very gently carried him to our car for us. Thereafter, we continued to see Dr. Maggie for the care of Zoey, even though the facility is 45 minutes from our home. Zoey had a weird cough that persisted. Dr. Maggie researched and found a diagnosis. She called to explain it in detail, & though no cure was available, offered a medicine that could reduce ease our dog's distress.

Staff called to check on Zoey after every procedure & medication change over the past 2.5 years Yesterday Dr. Maggie again helped us let go of our precious girl. I've never seen so much empathy and loving care from any doctor of any kind. If we are ever able to open our hearts to another pet, I pray AMC and Dr. Maggie are still accepting patients. May God bless all the staff!

I've known Margaret Schopp for years. She's dependable, sympathetic and knowledgeable. I trust her with my cat's life. (Kim Keene)

We've always taken our pets to the Animal Medical Center. And as long as this is here. I will never go to a different vet. These people care genuinely about animals and always provide the very best care possible to every pet I've brought in. If you are looking for the perfect vet for your furry friend, this is the place. Thank you Animal Medical Center! I will be back for years and years to come.

My husband and I have been rescuing animals from the shelter and streets for a number of years. We love animals (cats especially) more than just about anything. We bounced around a few vets locally and stumbled on AMC and have been going there ever since. Our first rescues were very elderly and ill so we lived at the vet but then we lost them 😭 and stumbled upon 2 younger ones that are quite healthy.

We've probably been going there about 15 years or so? We are LOYAL and they reward their customers who are loyal ❤🐾. We love the docs and front desk girls. I cannot recommend them enough.

If you are traveling thru town and need medication for your pet DON'T CALL THIS PLACE! THEY WON'T HELP. We are fulltime rver's and have been in many places over the last few months since our little one was diagnosed with diabetes. This is the first place we have called that would not sell us insulin. Oh well.

One of our cats chronically vomited 2-5 days a week for three years and no one could figure out why. We visited here and got a thorough check up, and after prescribing some special cat food our cat has been vomit free for three and a half weeks and is gaining weight. Thank you!

The staff was amazing! Friendly, attentive and gentle with my Winnie. Dr. Katie examined Winnie gently, but thoroughly.

Dr Katie is a wonderful and very caring vet. She listens to you and will do what ever it takes to help your pet. She will research far and wide to find a solution.

They were so helpful and everyone of them kind and compassionate when I brought my sick cat in. Then when I thought all hope was lost for him Dr.Maggie refused to give up.She suggested a treatment for him and I took my cat home and together we helped pull him through it.He’s better and I cannot thank them enough for saving him.We’re still working together and they call to check on him and put staff members on the phone who can answer my questions and concerns about our treatment . I’m so fortunate to have found a staff like them.

I appreciate the entire staff for always working with me to arrange appointments, figuring out how to best schedule future visits, calling to check how new medications are working, and sending reminders for vaccinations and check-ups. On top of that, both vets have worked very hard to find a solution for my older cat’s over-grooming issue. I’m beyond thrilled with the care we’ve received and recommend them to anyone with a furry family member.

The entire staff at Animal Medical Center has been great with the veterinary care for my cat! I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a vet that is not only knowledgeable but also takes the time to make sure your pet is well taken care of. Very happy to find my new veterinary clinic!

We have been bringing 4 of our 5 dogs there for about a year and a half. Dr Katie, Dr, Maggie and the entire staff are absolutely wonderful and we left a animal hospital that had a Beautiful building, at one time a couple great vets but since being with Animal Medical Center, we've realized we don't need a big beautiful building with big awful attitudes so that's why we made a change.

We have a big loveable Lab named Hershey who we adopted just under 2 years ago. Being a Lab, she decided to eat one side of a big heavy duty bag that we brought 2 pillows home in from Art Van. Needless to say, Hershey got extremely I'll and the last day we thought we were going to have to say good-bye to her, the staff brought her in to the exam room where after spending the last 2 days before laying on the floor with IV'S going thru her.

She came in wagging her tail like it was no one's business. Hershey came home and was fine until this past March. We noticed she had a big nasty growth growing on her hip and had to have it removed. The incision was quite large and we thought it was cancer and thought once again that we were going to lose her. She defied the odds on that one too and so far is doing well.

This past Thursday we had to say good-bye to our 9 year old one eyed Dashund named Willy. It's so hard having to say bye to a fur-baby especially when we don't have any human children. I was so distraught when I looked up and found not only my husband crying but Dr. Katie and Liz their vet assistant crying as well. It was as if Willy was their dog and not ours.

God Bless Dr. Katie and Liz but to the entire staff who welcomed us with open arms and we can honestly say.. We have no intention of going anywhere. If anyone would like more references on this Medical Group, we give you permission to ask for pur phone number from the front office. We truly hope this helped you decide just where you might want to bring your beloved fur-babies!
