Had to call in the middle of the night for a respiratory issue with one of our guinea pigs. The on call doctor gave us good advice that helped and then when we called next day, we were able to get a quick appointment for her. Very friendly, courteous and provided great care. Price was reasonable as well. Highly recommend for your exotic animals heathcare needs.

If Stephen is the sales person. I would have bought the house because he was so helpful and kind. It was out of our price range but helped us with a great realtor.

The housing was nice along with the overall environment of the neighborhood. They had plenty of space and amenities like a local pool, open area, tennis court, basketball court, etc. They had space and areas for you to get out and run or walk about without any shortage of sidewalks or scenery as well. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit, how close it was to everything else and the overall aesthetics.
