My cat kissa was not doing well at all. I called multiple places and no one was able or willing to get her in right away even with me explaining what was wrong with her. I called Pennell and they saw me the next day. What can't I say about this place. They were amazing! They way they were with her made me feel so comfortable and safe knowing she was in good hands. The vet tech was so sweet with her and the doctor who did her surgery was just amazing.
I think it was Dr. Stephen Syken who did her surgery. He did such a great job. Even the ladies at the front were so kind and sweet to me. Kissa was home the same day and they even called 2 days later to check on her. If you love and care about your pets and want a veterinary clinic who treats your fur babies with the same love and care please take them here. You will not be disappointed Thank you again for saving her life. I will definitely bring all my fur babies back here.

I been going to Pennell vet for years. I'm a long time client. My pets been seen with syken but lately it's been the lady vet. Recently my cat was seen by her cuz he had swollen face. First she said it was cancer then it was tooth abscess. They took care of it that day and he was on antibiotics for two weeks. Then he still had swollen face and gave him steroid injections. They told me if not better in 3 weeks they want X-rays done.
So I call them back they said if they can do Xray or they might have to send me somewhere else. I decide to go providence vet hospital. They did X-ray a lot cheaper and they took care of lump on his ear with no charge. They did whole body X-ray too with no charge. They found out in my boy has bone cancer. I have no idea if he really did have a tooth abscess and went under surgery for no reason. I won't be bringing my pets back there what so ever.

They took me in as soon as I called to make the appointment. It was so scary to find out that my dog couldn't get up to walk around and his heart was enlarged. Hopefully he will get better and back to his normal routine
