The Family Pet Clinic was originally named Bartles Pet Clinic by its founder, Dr. Harry Bartles, in 1992. A year later, Dr. Terri Slezak joined the practice. In 2000, Dr. Bartles retired and sold the practice to Dr. Richard Thompson. Not long after, the clinic held a contest among its clients to choose a new name- and "The Family Pet Clinic" was born!

I met Dr. Thompson on a previous visit with one of my kitties and again yesterday. I had the unfortunate task of bringing him my beloved kitty, Willie, who was terribly ill and needed to be put to sleep. In my worst moments, Dr Thompson could not have been more understanding, compassionate and assuring, that I was doing the right thing at the appropriate time for Willie. He talked us through the process, gave us the time we needed to say goodbye, and made a terrible situation as gentle and peaceful as possible. I cannot thank him enough for supporting us yesterday. I will continue to bring the fur babies in our family to Family Pet. The entire team, including Dr. Slezak, his partner, are wonderful, supportive and professional and you could not be in better hands.

I have been taking my pets to The Family Pet Clinic for 17 years and I wouldn't trust them with any other vet. All the doctors, techs, office folks go out of their way for the care of the animals.

Dr. Thompson is an absolutely amazing, knowledgeable, and caring vet. It's because of his help and genuine interest that my lab lived to be seventeen and a half. : Now that my second dog is getting older, I am so confident that she, too, will have the best care as she ages. Thank you to his staff, as well. We have always been treated with kindness.

We have been coming here for the past 13+ years. The staff has always been extremely friendly, helpful, caring, and trustworthy throughout our most painful and difficult times we have come across. I trust them ALL 110% to care for and do what is best for our fur babies.

The Vets & Staff of Family Pet Clinic ALWAYS have the best care in mind for the pet. They've provided excellent care and have given great advice for all three of the dogs I have taken there. Although I moved across town, I still go there and will continue to. Once thing to note is that when you have had difficult adoptions like I had/have (one had skin issues, the other has mental triggers), they work to solve the problem within your means & schedule. Best vet clinic I have ever been to!

I have been going to the The Family Pet Clinic for many years with my 2 miniature pinschers and the staff is very nice and accommodating. Dr Allie is the veterinarian I always see and he is a pleasure to talk with and very caring with the animals. The follow up if the pet has a problem is always done in a timely fashion. Taking Care Credit is a big plus since regular care and proper vaccination for 2 dogs can get costly. I would highly recommend this office to any one looking for a new office or changing to another office

Everyone is kind, caring, considerate and professional. No matter what the problem is, I know Dr. Thompson and his wonderful staff will be able to help. I highly recommend The Family Pet Clinic for your fur babies or any pet you may have.

I've used The Family Pet Clinic for over 20 years and wouldn't think of taking my pet anywhere else. The staff is professional and courteous and explain everything to you. They took care of my last cat for 17 years and the cat I have now for the past 6 years.

These guys are fantastic. I live out of state and have been able to work with them to help pay for my moms vet bills when she takes her dogs in. They were a huge help to us when we had our dog Cocoa cremated.

My ferret scratched her eye and the Vet took great care of her. I was amazed how warm and friendly the staff was. They even called a few days later to see how my little one was doing. They are now my goto vet for all my pets needs.
