Friendly staff and great service! All other vets nearby were not accepting new patients but Associates took us in and has given our kitten excellent service. They go the extra mile between providing treats, free nail-triming and deworming, Feliway-sprayed blankets, and calling proactively to offer rescheduling in case of inclement weather. Very glad to have taken a friend's recommendation to come here!

Awesome and friendly staff, always do the best to accommodate my huge farm dogs who don't like indoor spaces, and have been successful in resolving all our health issues thus far.

Report
I started bringing my animals here many years ago and it was lovely, but something has changed in the past several years. lack of compassion, over priced. over the past 2 weeks my dog has been very ill, seen several times, today she increasingly ill. The front desk was extremely rude, incredibly unprofessional and inappropriate, and this is to a long time dog/customer. I will not be bringing my animals back.

The front office staff is very nice. They were able to get all of my questions answered and took great care of my dog. When I spoke with the veterinarian over the phone, they were knowledgeable and made sure I understand what to do next when caring for my dog.
