Went a few times for same symptoms. Spent a total of $ 350. 1) lot of money, no results. 2) Dog had bad reaction to shampoo and wouldn't refund. 3) A small trim job ended up nicking inside of her ears and didn't even tell me and there was blood. When I called they said that happens to fractious dogs. If they were at all concerned about animals they would have told me what happened and I could have medicated right away.
It seemed to me they were in this as a business and making money, not for love of animals. I never went back and I would never recommend them.

They are wonderful. I am happy with them. I have been seeing one doctor there since 1983, but I am comfortable also to work with everybody.

However, you are located 4 minutes away from home, so I guess it works our it the end.My KoKo really seemed to like his doctor, and was a good boy all through.All the staff is efficient, gentle with the animals and patient with the people.I heartily recommend them.

.They are very professional and thorough. But most of all they are very caring about you and your pets. They are fast and efficient. You have the option of seeing either doctor there its up to you. I am very pleased with their service and will keep going to them.

We've taken several ferrets there, including one little girl with an obstruction that had to be admitted for a day because of dehydration. Dr. Mathews listened to our concerns, and even though she looked fine I thought she was acting abnormally. Since this was the second visit in 3 days he offered to keep her for observation as the most prudent option. He did try to do the most noninvasive treatments first and keep costs to a minimum, which I appreciated. We got her back a few hours later, fully hydrated and perky as can be.

Both Dr. Stake and the staff are very caring and very professional. They build a relationship with you so you can call with a question and they will respond usually that day if not ealry the next day. I highly recommend them!

I have used Capitol Area Animal Medical Center for all of my cats for the past 20 years. I have always felt that I received good service and that my pets have been treated well. Our needs have ranged from elderly cat to kitten care, and the staff have been compassionate when things have been difficult. They sent a lovely condolence card when my oldest cat died a few years ago. They have recently renovated the exam rooms, which is a nice change.

The only complaint I have is that they do tend to run late for appointments. This may be due to the number of vets seeing patients at any given time, but can also be due to the vets trying to give each patient the time needed to answer questions and address concerns.

I particularly like Dr. Stake and Dr. Mathieu.

They provide excellent service. I have 3 dogs and they have always taken care of them. They have provided top notch service. They are a very busy animal medical center. Though I have to wait a little bit there, I rate them high overall. Her strong points are her knowledge, skills, and how she deals with all the animals in a gentle and caring way. She is very concerned. She takes the time to answer all of your questions. She smiles and is terrific. She is very good not only with the animals but also the owners. I highly recommend them. When my dogs are with her they are very good. She is very good and gentle with them. She is very caring. She always has an assistant with her to keep the animals calm. My pets are never in pain or are mishandles. If my dog is in any kind of pain after receiving injections, they give baby aspirin and take care of the problem. They are very concerned and ask me to take them back if there is any other problem.
