That’s where I go! Business has just been regular checkups, so I don’t know if you actually have something really wrong with your dog, I don’t know if it would be a good place to go or not. I usually call a week or so ahead of time, they can usually fit him in. It takes 5 minutes to get back into a room. It is a female vet and he is partial to females, so it works very well. He is just afraid of men.

The service is good. The office is clean considering there is animals. The staff is friendly and treat the pets well. They do have treats available for your pets. We will be going again this year. We called on the weekend and they help right away. I only waited like five to ten minutes to be seen. They are honest about what is wrong with your pet. They do give you options on treatment. They make you feel good by telling you you are not a horrible pet owner.

Dr. Violette would take personal phone calls on his cell phone when I had a scheduled appointment and I take offense to that - this was a time he was available and I had an appointment. No class!! Since then, I know numerous others who have left this practice as well!!

Anna Wolfe proved to be an excellent veterinarian, and the clinic is well equipped to care for the needs of our domestic pets. Dr. Wolfe had a great touch with our two cats, who (as with most pets) were not happy to be at the vet! I had great confidence in her ability to assess our pets medical needs and treat them appropriately.
I recommend both Dr. Wolfe and the hospital without reservation. The only reason we will not be visiting this veterinary hospital in the future is because we have moved out of state.

This was a very traumatic day for my husband and I, as we were putting our dog, Lucky, to sleep. He was 14.5 years old, and had cancer and other ailments. We were both very upset, but Dr. Wolfe and the staff were amazingly kind, caring, and compassionate through the whole process. I cannot say enough great things about Salmon Brook Veterinary Hospital. If and when we adopt another dog in the future, I would not bring my pet to any other vet. Thank you Dr. Wolfe and all of the staff for taking such great care of Lucky, me and my husband.

It was pillow stuffing and I haven't a clue why. I felt the cost over-the-top and now don't plan to do any more breeding.

Vet violet never called after surgery as he said he would. We were never called during recovery as they said they would. Never called to say come pick up this cat. When we refused to pay for the extra days in recovery, because and quot;you never picked up your cat.and quot; We expressed our upset over abuse to consumer and we were told....and quot; your not welcome anymoreand quot; by the office manager. We took our pets elsewhere. We requested that vet call us over this. Vet Violet never did.

We're new to the area, having moved from Texas several months ago. We needed a vet for our 7 year old golden retriever. Salmon Brook is a very nice veterinary hospital, with extensive hours, clean and modern facilities, and professional staff. The ladies in the front office were friendly and helpful and the veterinary staff was terrific with my dog. I would definitely recommend these vets.

This vet was fantastic with both the cat and the dog. I don't ever feel that they are "upselling" unnecessary tests, services, or food. Dr. Wolfe is extremely compassionate, and truly has a special connection with animals. Our cat was special needs and fought a long battle with diabetes and hyperthyroidism. During the process of adjusting medication doses to level off the thyroid, Dr. Wolfe frequently checked in to see how he was doing. When he finally lost his battle the staff was beyond empathetic. They told us not to worry about the bill at that time, and could settle up at a later date. I felt as though the entire office staff went through the process with us. They were supportive and respectful. I even received a letter from the Cornell School of veterinary medicine that the office made a donation in memorium. I wholeheartedly recommend Salmon Brook Vet.

They are a good vet for pets, both large and small animals; they don't do exotic. I recommend them to other people.

I have had previous pets before and I always took them there. I am really happy with the service they provide. They are competent, they take excellent care of the animals, and it's not hard to get an appointment with them. The last time I went they charged me for the office visit plus the medications.

I have used other veterinarians and her prices are right in the line with the rest. Her performance however, is far superior. I like this vet very much and I would highly recommend them.
