We are very pleased with the care our 10 year old golden retriever received during his recent surgery. Since he's older, we were nervous about putting him through anesthesia but he is recovering beautifully! Dr. Lucas and Griffith's staff took wonderful care of him. We were sent a detailed invoice ahead of time and a staff member asked if we had any questions about it before consenting to surgery. It was really nice to know what to expect ahead of time and I feel that the charges were very reasonable.

We just recently returned to Griffith Veterinary after using a different vet that we were very unhappy with. We were incredibly pleased with the friendly staff. And the Vet - she is amazing. She spent so much time checking out both our dogs and answered so many questions. The dogs were so comfortable with her. I highly recommend using Griffith for your pet needs.

Hands down the best Vet out there! My German Shepard needed surgery to remove a tumor or his head and a cyst on his back and our vet that I have taken him to since he was a puppy quoted me a high crazy price then told me they were so backed up with surgeries and he couldn't get us in until end of summer. I called Griffith Vet and within 3 weeks I got an appointment, and they did the surgery and cost was extremely less than our current vet quoted us. Everyone in office is very friendly and accommodating. I will be taking all my animals here from now on :
