Been coming here for over 10 years. They know my cats very well, the staff is even excited to see them come in nowadays! I’ve had the chance to watch this practice grow…it has never strayed from its dedication of animal health and professionalism. All the staff carries the same level of compassion as any of the staff before them. Doctors are very knowledgeable and do everything they can make sure clients have a transparent experience as well as the pets having the most comfortable experience. Prices are reasonable and competitive, especially when considering the facilities, resources and tools they have at their disposal. Going to the vet is part of the expense of having pets! It’s SO GREAT now that emergencies do not have be done with corporate vets and can be done with a private practice. Honestly a blessing to have this private practice in our community.

We’ve had the unfortunate need to use the emergency service here twice for our two boys. Both times everyone was compassionate towards our dogs, kind and left us feeling calm and quite happy with the care received. Most recently, our dogs were treated by Dr. Duncan and we could not be happier. Our wait was extended because of a high priority emergency that came in at the same time we did, but the techs triaged our boys, brought them into an exam room to make things less stressful and checked in routinely. While we ended up leaving close to midnight, Dr. Duncan and the other staff we interacted with showed no signs of fatigue despite it being a busy night. While we love our local vet and Bennett Creek is 30 minutes from home, I wouldn’t hesitate to bring my animals here and we plan to use their boarding services in the future as well. Kudos to Dr. Duncan and her team, we appreciate you so much! (Our pups are doing well and after two days are basically back to being their normal silly and rambunctious selves!)
