We were seen very quickly and care felt personalized (my dog's name was written on the chalk-board inside the examination room) and thorough. I also like the staff. They're friendly and communicate well with both me and my baby.

I’ve been bringing my blue heeler, Champagne, to this hospital since she was just a tiny, wiggly pup. She’s almost 4 now and I can honestly say this last visit was one of our absolute best!

Dr. Gunter and his team were beyond wonderful — so kind, so patient, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. Now, Champagne is the bestest girl at home… but let’s just say the vet is not her favorite social outing. 😅 Despite her dramatic opinions about appointments, the care and attention she received made all the difference.

Dr. Gunter and his team took their time, paid close attention to every detail, and handled her with such calm patience that even my vet-skeptical heeler seemed to relax a bit more than usual (which is a small miracle!). They never made us feel rushed and made sure both of us felt comfortable every step of the way.

I appreciate them more than I can say and feel so grateful knowing my girl is in such capable, compassionate hands. Champagne may not love going to the vet — but I sure love bringing her here!

The staff are so friendly and always treat my dog as if she’s their own! She had been dealing with a concerning cough, and her care team did a thorough check up to make sure that it was nothing more extreme, rather than throwing antibiotics at her and calling it a day.
