Dr. Vaughan and Dr. Fennell, along with all the staff, are really pleasant and knowledgeable. My cat actually doesn't mind the vet visits so much, as they have great bedside manners and are quite patient. I would recommend, and have done so!

Sub vet Dr. Boston did a wonderful job. Took time to examine Jack thoroughly. Asked a series of pertinent questions and communications a wealth of information on a clear and concise manner. Was patient with me as I asked many questions and had her repeat some of her responses for my continued home care. Technician was extremely helpful in explaining the medications and the need for a follow up visit. Could not be more satisfied with the care given by the vet and tech.

It was my first experience/interaction with Dr. Vaughan and I was thoroughly unimpressed; I would avoid her like a COVID-19 infection. She was exceptionally unprofessional- raising her voice with a "client"- it seems as though she has a superiority complex that needs to be knocked down a few pegs. I strongly recommend that she takes a few seminars on interpersonal communication to polish her disposition, which is in dire need of attenuation. Again, raising your voice and speaking down to clients is a big no-no, if you cherish a successful business. Regarding the treatment of my animal, I have no complaints. The office staff was welcoming and exceptional. The dog was treated better than the person *paying* the bill.
