I tried getting my dying bunny into every vet I could so he wouldn't have to suffer and none of them would help me. I called Parrish Creek Vet and the doctor was on her lunch break but said she would gladly be of assistance. They treated my Roo with such compassion and all of the staff was just phenomenal, they expressed their condolences and were just completely amazing about the entire, heartbreaking experience!
I live a half hour away but they will be our new vet to our 3 dogs and 3 cats because after this experience I know that they will always be in the BEST hands with this team! Thank you all again, I can never say how much your compassion has meant to me!

Parrish Creek was wonderful when handling my friend's hamster last week. I was pet sitting her aging hamster & he had been showing some signs of decline that suddenly worsened after a few days. They were able to fit him in despite their busy schedule & were very professional. They showed true empathy for my friend while acknowledging the urgency of his state. I would definitely recommend them in the future & that's coming from a previous veterinary technician of 12 years.

Wonderful people. Very competent. Reasonably priced (although I admit I'm always surprised how much animals cost). Good with exotics. Highly recommended.

Everyone is super nice. We've been going to them with our Great Dane/Newfoundland mix since we got him a few months ago and they've been great. Quick, caring, and knowledgeable. We called out of the blue yesterday because the pup was sick, unfortunately they said they couldn't see us. After spending time trying to see if they could fit us in soon enough for an urgent issue, they recommended an emergency clinic.
Then before we could even call the emergency clinic, Parrish Creek called back with an appointment to get us in next morning to see the vet. Most tests they tell us will take 2ish days or a week sometimes, but I think we've always gotten a call with the results same day or within 24 hours. Highly recommend!
