I have been coming to dr marshals veterinary since 2009. Since I've been coming to dr marshal I've only received the best most caring care for the 5 dogs and 5 cats I've brought to him over the years. Dr Marshal and the entire staff at bakers bridge veterinary clinic genuinely care for your animals. Every time I bring one of my fur babies in they all come out to great them. They are pit bulls and this staff shows no fear or prejudice.

I am always blown away at the love they receive there. As for pricing they have always come in on the low need of everything for me and even have worked up payment plans in time of crisis! We went through one of the hardest times in our lives. Our senior pittie jersey got bladder cancer. Dr Marshal fought it as hard as he could and bought her many many precious months! The amount of love and caring from him and his staff have made me a client for life. I recommend bakers bridge vet to everyone I know and all my clients. There more than just your usual vet!

Our family has been going to Baker's Bridge for the past 5 years. We have been throughly impressed by the entire clinic's thoughtfulness, care, and kindness in regards to our 7 pets (4 dogs & 2 cats). Dr. Hamilton always takes her time and discusses options in regards to our dogs various digestive issues, hip issues, and overall care. Patty and the rest of the front desk girls are always so sweet when it comes to scheduling and picking up food.

There has been a handful of times when I had my two young kiddos with me during visits and one of the girls was always more than willing to come out and help me get the whole crew in the door. Morgan has a special bond with our old chocolate lab and knows she's very particular when it comes to other pets and people she is unfamiliar with, she's always right there, when Hannah has an appointment, to make sure that the appointment runs smoothly and that Hannah is as comfortable as possible. We have and will continue to refer any and everyone we know to Baker's Bridge. They treat us and our pets as family and for that, we are so grateful!

Self-admitted helicopter mom here: this practice is just WONDERFUL with our very difficult shiba inus. We have been very clear from day 1 that our boys are extremely nervous and one of them is rather bitey, and all of the vet techs and all of the veterinarians have been so gracious and so patient with them. We are so appreciative of their efforts, knowledge, and well informed treatment of our babies.

We have taken in both of our boys for misc treatments within a relatively short time span (because I am a helicopter parent) and they have taken care of every last one of our concerns. These dogs are not easy patients and we are very happy to have found such a competent veterinary practice to handle our very complicated fur family.

Dr. Marshal is the absolute best vet we have ever been too. All our dogs have loved him too. His staff is also amazing. They helped us through cancer treatment with one dog, dental work on two of our dogs, and most recently with getting our 5 year old rescue pup spayed and all up do date.
