Have used them for many years but after this last visit I will find another vet. Ran test and service fees for the purpose of increasing the bill. Two other customers were upset about the bill that they were presented with. It was a good place when Dr Ferguson was in the house can't say the same for the attending veteran.

We have been going to the Critter Fixer for over 20 yrs and it has gotten worse each yr. We needed to get two cats spades and the office help was so rude told me they were REAL busy and it would be the end of Feb or up into March. I was upset told her to tell the doctor's to please spend more time in the office and not out making movies of all the work they are doing out in the fields and take better care of the office patients. We have brought over16 animals to the office. We have changed vet's. Thank you.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality From personal experience I've seen two sides to the owner. I used to think his staff was well trained also but the mistreatment of animals I've witnessed isn't ok. I truly hope he makes better choices with his businesses.

I can not say enough about Dr. Ferguson and his staff. We have been seeing them for about two years now. They are always so Compassionate. We had emergency Christmas Eve. The staff got us right in and took amazing care of our fur baby. The staff and Doctors truly care about the animals and it shows. Everyone has been amazing and I can not thank them enough. I highly recommend Critter Fixer if Byron to anyone looking for an affordable, clean, and compassionate vet office.

We have been bringing our animals here for a while now and always had a great experience. But the day before Christmas Eve we had to bring our dog in, she had an open laceration and we were able to bring her in first thing in the morning and the vet even came in to work early, 30 minutes before he was supposed to be there so they could get her sutured up right away so she wouldn't have to wait (she is VERY anxious at the vet).

They called when she was out of surgery and let us know how it went and we were able to pick her up a few hours later. They made a very stressful situation so much easier on us. I will always bring my animals here and recommend them to everyone! They also offer military discount which is so great for a lot of people in this area.
