Former customer of 8 years. I will no longer use this Vet. They have always been very expensive for one thing and the new staff is not very good. Throw in the ridiculous mask policy and curbside only drop offs/pickups. I'm done with this vet. Would not recommend AT ALL!

The only vet I take my cats to! 10/10 recommend them. They are all SOO nice and friendly from the moment you walk in- to the moment you walk out- they're wonderful. I will never forget the time my kitten was very sick and needed 24 hour care at the same time my grandfather was very ill and passed away. Ashley volunteered to watch and take care of her for me while I spent the last few days with my grandfather and attended his funeral.
That is a big deal for me and I can't put into words how much it meant. I can't thank you enough! I also love dr wasamer and all the other vet techs. They truly love their animal clients and it shows! : PS here's a photo of Binx on his way to see dr wasamer

By far the most caring vet I have ever had for my pets. The staff is kind and they listen. Vets are professional and gentle. They explain everything so you can understand.
