We came here for a 2nd opinion for our sick cat, and they were compassionate and offered several other ideas that our previous vet did not. Definitely recommend!

Super friendly staff and Dr. Andy was really helpful in not just caring for my cat, but also explaining what different tests indicate, potential causes, prevention, etc so I felt more capable and knowledgeable going home : my cat is back to his happy, healthy self!

Dr. Ken Eisenberg is the best bet all around. I wanted to leave a review so that people are aware that he knows rabbits! I have been to multiple vets and this is my favorite hands down the best. My little girl gets GI stasis often and I am able to get ready for her next attack so that I am not empty handed when it happens. I have also brung my pitty here for mast cell tumor removal.

Great clinic located just a walking distance from DG train station. I've been taking my 2 german shepherds for several years there. The staff is always honest and carrying and never forced us into buying unnecessary meds or procedures. Dr. Eisenberg and Dr. Bowes are amazing at what they do. Definitely recommend this place for all pets.
