The visit went smoothly. Appointments were scheduled quickly. We were ushered into the examination room on time. The vet and the vet techs seem to enjoy what they do. My two dogs and cat responded well to the interaction.

The office and exam room were very clean.  All the staff were professional and very nice.  The vet and tech were very skilled as well as friendly to both myself and my puppy.  I have another appointment in January and will continue taking my puppy here.  Excellent in all aspects!

Dr Phillips is the BEST. He gets down on the floor and actually plays with my dog. He really loves animals and it really shows. He also doesn't have the normal attitude of a Vet. He'll talk to you like you're a person. My dog loves to go to him. While he's checking her she's kissing him and loving him even while she's getting her shots. Dr Phillips has such a way with animals. I will always take my animals to him. I'm the type that if possible I like to deal with one person. The office personal are the BEST also. They're always so helpful and friendly. If you call to order medication it's always ready and waiting for you when you get there to pick it up, so you're in and out quickly. I'm so glad I found Dr Phillips and his great staff.

Very professional. Supportive. I have used them in the past. I did complain about a particular female vet that misdiagnosed a horse. Will not have her out again. I just request the vets I prefer. Works out much better. Still a bit pricey compared to my favorite older vet.

Team came on time. They were very professional and were great with my animals. One of my ponies needed his teeth floated but the other could wait. I appreciated the honest assessment . Of course if both would have needed it I would have done it, but economically it would have been difficult. I was given an honest assessment and options. Consideration was given to both my animals and myself. They were great. Prices were reasonable.

first experience was my daughter and her puppy to the brand new facility. they were very good to her and the puppy. however, my daughter dropped the puppies medication in the parking lot, with her name, puppies name etc. on the medication. Some body returned the medication to the office. Nobody from the office bothered to call my daughter. she spent hours searching for the medication.
next i called them for a lame horse. explained to the vet that came out he gets abcesses. she said lets do xrays. i agreed, she wanted me to trailer him to the hospital for diagnosesand treatment. trailering him would have stressed him beyond belief. they did portable xrays, he stood beautifully. she calles me back and diagnosed my horse with acute laminitis. prescribed orthotics, meds, you name it. a week later my farrier came out-- found the abcess.
I took my big male in for neutering. Never spoke with or saw the vet when I dropped him off or picked him up. The tech that brought him out to me yanked my dog back when he saw me and tried to get to me.

Next took my one of my dogs in for removal of a tumor like growth on her elbow. Estimate was not near the price of the surgery when I picked her up. They were VERY good to he though. and I never saw the vet dropping her off or picking her up, nor did anybody follow up on any occasion to see
again I will only use in case of ER and as last resort.
all about making $$$ how any body was faring.

Everything went well. The doctor was great with the dogs, and he examined them on the floor where they were most comfortable. The staff was very friendly as well.
