We've taken all of our dogs to this clinic and have been so happy with the staff. Dr. Cole especially takes such good care of both our dogs and their humans. He's always willing to offer multiple solutions and patiently explains every medication or condition, and thoroughly discusses treatment plans with us. It's obvious that he cares as much for our pets as we do.

Our senior lab was having difficulty walking and we assumed it was arthritis in his hips. They were able to get him in quickly for being a new patient. I love how they allowed me to drop him off and theyd call for us to pick him up later. It worked out perfectly with having a toddler and no available childcare. They were very thorough on the phone with both my husband and I about what they found.
He has a partially torn ligament and instead of pushing for surgery right away, they gave us some options to try and have him examined in a couple weeks to see the healing progress. Its refreshing to find a vet that truly cares and isnt just looking to up charge you. On that note, I was shocked at how affordable their fees are! We definitely found a forever vet for our pups!

I called them based on my sister in laws referral. I have never had an experience at any vet in my life of 48 years as I did here with the entire staff! From the initial call to dropping off my beloved dog for cremation, they were all so personable and much more than professional. They were so very compassionate and empathetic. I live in Springfield and yet I will always refer others to this clinic! Top notch!

Very poor organization and care. We needed a pain med refill after a surgery and despite calling four times, they never submitted the prescription leaving our pet in pain. They also 'forgot to bill us' despite my husband asking if that was everything, then had us pay twice the amount quoted to release our vet records. Don't recommend.

In all fairness. I did prepay and schedule for my 11 lb Pomeranian. For practical reasons. Anyways, I took my dog there and they were great. Very professional. My bill was very reasonable. They are now our new vet. Much thanks for the care.

This was my Juniors first time here. They were very gentle and made him feel at ease. They were patient and listened to my concerns and answered my questions. We won't be going anywhere else!

If I could give 100 stars I would. I truly thought my Yin was going to die. She was very ill and not responding well. I call UVC and they rushed in her immediately. Not only that, they were able to keep her to nurture back. They called to check on her twice a day for weeks after she was home and doing well. UVC really went the extra mile and I will never take my animals anywhere else. They are truly cared for here.
