Our dog gets it all. They try to cure him. They're expensive. The price is very high; however, the service is good. They're good vets. We've been using them for 17 years.

They were great and very accommodating. They’ve been open for so long and they’ve always done a wonderful job. They’re very caring and their facilities are excellent, very modernized and spacious. When my sister was boarding her cat, the staff spent time with the cat and played with her. They have a place for the dogs to be able to roam around.  You can also tell that they really like the animals and we’ve always recommended them to others.

They’ve been great to work with! We’ve taken both of our dogs to other kennels, but in the past five years, we’ve only taken them there. The staff is great, and John is fantastic. He always remembers the dogs’ names and the vets are great too. They’ve been outstanding overall.

They employ staff with strong credentials. They’re sympathetic and recognize you by name. They also have a nice pet portal which allows you to keep all of your animal vaccinations in one, simple place; they send you updated email reminders about making regular appointments. They’ve offered some innovative services as well.

They’ve always been great. Their surgeries and endoscopy have been good, which was a pleasant surprised. They’ve been great with diagnosing and have been great with all of our pets.

Christensen Animal Hospital has high quality staff in Dr. Moll and the vet techs and assistants.   Everyone is very knowledgeable and the staff is super friendly and courteous.   Their only issue is that they are a little pricey.     My cat and dog both had problems and together I spent over $1000.  My cat had an infected wound so I expected his care to be expensive but I wasn't expecting $500 including $90 for blood work.    My dog had hot spots which turned out to be due to a skin infection.   $100 for antibiotics on top of $60 for cultures of his skin and ears.   A routine heart worm test indicated Lymes disease.  Bam, another $145 for a full Lymes test. Maybe this is the cost of caring for pets with health problems   but I needed for a PetCare credit card to pay for it all.

Great, as always. When I dropped them off, my pups were greeted by name, then weighed and checked-in (detailed info taken on food/meds/general health/special instructions, etc - which can now be done ahead of time via phone).  Both dogs were healthy, happy and smelled good when I picked them up! The medical tests were completed and the results discussed with me in detail. The doctor and techs never hurry and are very thorough when taking care of an animal and discussing results and follow-up care. Christensen's has been taking care of my dogs for 20 years and I'd never go anywhere else! Everyone -- from the front desk, to the techs, to the doctors -- is extremely professional and competent AND caring/friendly. The facility itself is clean, attractive and 'state-of-the-art'!

They've been taking care of our pets' needs for many years. When it became obvious that our cat was reaching the end of his natural life and was suffering, they were very kind and helpful. They made a very painful process as easy as possible. I highly recommend this veterinary clinic.

I have been going there for eight years and the service is next to none. I trust them with my dog and that is probably the best thing about them. Their pricing is equal to most other places and that is what keeps me here.

I find that everyone at the animal hospital is wonderful. I like the fact that they are very warm and loving to the animals. They definitely know how to handle the animals and not stress them out at all. I think they do a wonderful job.
