New to the area. I took my cat to get his nails trimmed. I told them he would be extremely feisty and my former vet and i and one of his techs were able to get it done. Well. First time of course i wasnt allowed in bldg. ecause of covid. Understand. Next two times allowed in but had to stay in lobby because of liability. After that appt they wanted me to give him 2 doses of gabapentin. NExt time as they couldnt trim one set of paws.
Well that never happened before.granted a low dose but. So i returned. I had given him both doses as required. No luck. Then they wanted to sedate him. I said No. i wanted to say just let me in the room w him. I am not saying these people arent good in their job. But I know my cat. I know how i worked with former vet. Yes the cat did holler but zip zap zip and we were done.

8 years in. New owners are just as nice. Dog surgery went well. Scheduled for another (unfortunately); they seem very interested in care for your pet.

The staff is amazing! Very fairly priced and always receive top notch care. This is the only place we'll go for all our pet needs, to include prescription food. Save a ton ordering food right from the vet!

Doctor was great! Very professional and knowledgeable. Receptionist Julia was very friendly, and we bonded over my cat having the same name as her . I will be visiting again!

I typically do not write reviews. However I felt the need to write a review based on the dedication of Dr. Sherer and associates. This practice took care of our two wonderful Border Collies for over ten years. I have to tell you the 45 minutes in traffic is well worth the experience. There is no way to put into words the care, comfort and dedication all of the staff display towards the care of our pets. If you need Veterinary care I highly recommend Powell Veterinary Clinic.
