Dr Ellis is wonderful! I've been using him for years for my dog Jake and now he has helped my boyfriends dog misty! Treated an eye infection that was not treated well by the prior vet and her arthritis has been well managed now! She's turned a corner and doing great! Every time I've been panicked -- the office has called me off hours and spent time talking to me. All the vet techs are super nice and wonderful / loving! Wouldn't recommend anywhere else to go!

This was our second time here. They've been very efficient and extremely nice, both with the check in process and with the discussions after exams. Everyone we've dealt with seems to genuinely care about our cats, which is a huge plus compared to some of our past vets. They've even started sending out digital questionnaires before appointment day to help speed up the check in process. Highly recommended!

Best vet ever! You can tell how much they love the animals. I feel very safe leaving my pets with them. They always go in happy and come out happier.

After Koonie's yearly check up and vaccinations he was returned not feeling well, as expected. My experience is that lasts 36 hours or so. Well, it's a week now and he still isn't well. His energy is low and he still has trouble getting up stairs. After reporting this situation the staff has been lackadaisical in their attention to Koonie. After calling the office about the situation I still had not received a return phone call before I called again 24 hours later.

Finally Dr Ellis called and promptly fired me as a customer and told me to take my broken dog to another clinic without so much as trying to fix the situation. Sunderland Animal Hospital has a lot of great reviews, and I was one of those for 4 years. Something happened there. Of course, I have no idea what that may have been because they don't allow pet owners inside the office! The lesson: if you have a problem with how they treat your pet, you may be fired and told to take your broken pet somewhere else.

I brought in my 15.5 yr old Golden Retriever Sir Charles into the office for a "sick" appointment today. He's elderly but you wouldn't know it. Anyway I called this morning with a problem and I got in a few hours later. Although I couldn't join my pup into the office the staff was very attentive and quick to get him in for his exam. The Dr. came out for some Pre exam questions and returned shortly after seeing him. I was very impressed with how easy going she was about the treatment plan and conservative secondary to his age. Dr. Klopfer I can't thank you enough for being so caring.

I wanted to take a moment to share why Sunderland Animal Hospital is the most wonderful place in the valley. We adopted a puppy and despite growing up with dogs, I had never had the full responsibility of care for an animal. At every turn, from her spay surgery to the weekend calls I have made to ask a question, they have been nothing but kind, professional, prompt and deeply caring about our dog.

I feel like I have a partner in getting to know and take care of this wonderful animal. They go the extra mile, always find a way to accommodate a need or understand a concern. They are also clear and direct about everything from cost to scheduling. The app is easy to use, you can chat with them directly and the information is all digitally stored. Need I say more? What a pleasure and good fortune to have this amazing practice near by.
