Dr Moorman has been a wonderful vet for our various species of animals. We've tried a few in the area and she is just the best! Both sensible and caring - exactly what any good doctor should be. We're very thankful to have her as our vet!

Amazing service. The entire staff was compassionate and professional during one of the most challenging times in our lives. We are new to the area and did not have an established relationship with this office. Our senior pup, Misty (English Mastiff), was not well enough to travel to the office for care. Lacy was incredibly helpful and kind. She went out of her way to ensure we could schedule a "farm visit" to assess her condition.
When it became clear that we could not wait for the next day appointment, Jennifer was able to make an exception for emergency end of life care for our sweet girl. Dr. Brett was attentive to our concerns and explained the limited options for her well-being. We came to the conclusion that there was no treatment option that would give her quality of life. It was a heartbreaking experience that was made just a little bit easier with the care we received from these amazing, loving people. I cannot recommend this office enough.

I love this vets office. All the staff I've had the pleasure of meeting have been happy and truly look like they enjoy their job, and I think that is a great representation of the care given. The communication is amazing. Dr. Clarke will call and ask for updates, and I just find that to be a wonderful attribution. Dr. Ellis came out to my car and went over the exam, as well as bringing my cat back to the car.
It doesn't seem like much, but I've never had a vet take the time to do that, and definitely made a lasting impression. The approach to vet care is catered to the specific pet & owner. I highly recommend veterinary associates.

This was our first visit with our dogs. The veterinarian and staff took very good care of our dogs. They explained everything in great detail and advised us of options for various treatments. No pressure to obtain vaccinations or other services. Overall a very pleasant experience. Our sincere thanks to Veterinary Associates.

I've been trying to get my child-dog in to see a vet for months, with no success! Doctor said they were booked until October, so was the other vet down 68! I mentioned this to another pet parent and they said their wife takes their pet here! I decided to call them! What a huge disappointment, they are only accepting current clients so my dog can just suffer, wither up and die! And people wonder why people are losing it everywhere!
