Reviews
The Drake Center team is always very sweet to our old guy Tex (14) and listens to our concerns with compassion. We inherited our sweet boy from my mom and want to make sure we take care of him as she would. This wonderful team helps us do this and they always seem to be able to fit us in when needed. Thank you Drake team!!
Dr Shotwell is a God Send! She was able to get me in for emergency visit for my cat Sassy!
I went to other veterinarians for Sassy’s health condition and I was not getting the answers I wanted/needed.
Dr Shotwell is amazing and will always recommend her and the Drake Center! Everyone here truly loves their profession and the care we received truly shows their love and dedication for our pets!
