I have had the best help with taking care of my dog. The vet is so caring to me and my dog. I will refer anyone to go there.

When we switched veterinarians after a malpractice I wanted to find a quality practice for my two fur babies and, after researching reviews and rankings we narrowed it down and ultimately chose Orchard View. We have been working with Dr Crawford for a few years now and have received excellent care. My older girl has complex medical requirements and they have been instrumental in supporting the health of both my babies. Bunny and Sebastien mean everything to me and are emotional support animals for me. I recommend this business.

My pets have been seen here for a couple of years due to a family member being employed here. HOWEVER. now that this person is not employed here, I have run into some issues. The #1 thing is that they want to have your per seen for just about anything and everything. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big believer in preventative care, but being required to bring your dog in every time they need flea meds is ridiculous.

That's NOT the only thing but just an example. Theres also the FACT of their TERRIBLE record keeping. In general, I get a sense of being "taken for a ride" EVERY time I need something for my pet and I'm tired of paying out the @$$ for mediocrity. It ends now. I thank them for their service, but I will be going elsewhere and dealing with folks with more competence. They are "nice", but "nice" doesn't excuse unnecessary visits. That's called "greed"

I am so pleased to refer my neighbors, friends and family to Orchard View. The prices are economical. Also, I am impressed with the level of customer service. The staff bends over backwards to make sure my doggies had everything that they needed during their very long lives.

Orchard View have great staff and accommodating with my pet's needs. The staff truly care and that's great! However, staff need to talk to their customers about how much procedures cost before treatment is administered. I would also recommend that infections are treated. Guidance states infection should be treated for 14 days and not 7 days. Short cuts cost the customers money, $700 dollars later, my pup is still has an infection. During this situation, my pup was dealing with a bad situation. Staff were attentive, kind and professional, bit I will not be going back.
