I have been taking my fur kids to Holmes for 35+ years. The staff has always been great. I miss Dr. Burns since her retirement. I've met Dr. Culbertson and Dr. Welling and am very pleased with how they treated my babies.

Holmes Vet is a very clean place. The staff are so friendly during every single interaction of your visit. I received clear at home instructions for care. I live 30 minutes away but I'll be back here.

My experience was fine. It's just that I don't know anybody at this time who is in need of veterinary services. But if I did, I'd recommend Holmes.
