Very impressed with Healing Springs! From their receptionists to their DVMs - everyone here is super friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help in any way they can. Dr. Dowell was very attentive to my elderly cat's health issues and created a plan that addressed all of my concerns. The parastaff was super helpful in an issue we ran into getting records from a previous clinic, couldn't have gotten it sorted out with you. Thank you guys!
