Dr. Brown is magnificent. He has taken care of my little 4 lb Chihuahua "Nugget" since he has essentially gone blind. It has been a very difficult circumstance. This office and Dr. Brown are as compassionate as they are competent. I am very pleased with this office.

Dr. Brown and his staff are amazing. Although there are new procedures in place due to COVID-19, Dr. Brown still came out to my car to talk to me in person to explain my dogs surgery procedure and address any concerns or questions I had. In addition, after surgery he personally came out to give me an update. Most places are only talking to you over the phone, but this staff is going above and beyond to take care of your pet and to help minimize any fear you have about possible surgery for your pet. I highly recommend this location and Dr. Brown.

Best vet experience you could ask for. Doctor brown and his staff are amazing, kind, knowledgeable and helpful. My cat has an incurable virus and they have helped her every step of the way. My cat got to keep both of her beautiful eyes thanks to this team.
