Dr Gentry is an excellent vet.  She has been our vet to our entire animal family since the 1990s

The staff was welcoming and friendly. Bailey's cleaning went well and he was in goods spirits when I picked him up. I have used this vet for seven years and couldn't recommend her or the office staff more highly. The service is always professional and done well.

Animal Clinic of Friendly Center are excellent.

I chose this vet based on proximity to my home and I was banking on it being a good place since it's in Friendly Center and most stores/shops/services there seem legit. I arrived 5 minutes early for the appointment, filled out a form, and was shown to an examination room. We waited in the room for about 10-12 minutes before a vet tech came in to take my dog and weigh her which took less than a minute. The actual vet arrived about 15 minutes after the vet tech which seemed like forever. The wait was frustrating because my dog could hear the squealing and yelping of several puppies who I assume were having their tails docked or something along those lines as the noise made my dog extremely anxious and nervous. She was shaking like a leaf when the vet came in. The wait did give me plenty of time to observe the exam room and it appeared to be dated compared to other vets I have been to. The most disturbing thing in the exam room was the presence of a metal exam table. I felt the exam table and it was freezing due to the AC. I imagine that the feeling of cold metal to a dog is similar to that of humans. If you have ever had to go through any sort of medical procedure while lying on a metal table than you know it's not inviting, welcoming, comforting, etc. The vet examined my dog briefly and took her out of the room to get her vaccines. This process took less than 10 minutes and during that time I noticed that there were magazines on the back of the door. This tipped me off that waiting long periods of time is a common thing there- so much that they even plan for it by providing reading material. After my dog was returned to the room, I was directed back up to the front. The vet tech at the pay counter seemed a bit distracted by other things going on in the office and it took me about 5 minutes to actually pay and leave. It was an average experience as some wait time is expected and both the vet tech and the vet were personable. I will probably try a few other vets our prior to selecting a permanent provider for my dogs.

I have used them for the past 40 years. I know them and they know me. I find them to very easy and cooperative to work with. I have recommended them to others and will continue to do so.
