We have been going to Sylvan Veterinary Hospital for 24 years. I can’t say enough about the Vets, technicians and staff. Everyone is courteous and friendly. The Doctors take the time thoroughly listen to our pet’s needs and concerns. We have a small chihuahua mix, and everyone treats her extra special when she is there. I highly recommend Sylvan Veterinary Hospital for all your pets needs.

Reviews
Perfect balance of friendliness, direct honesty, comfort, and options that fit my budget. Went above and beyond to ensure me that Rohkie would be taken care of, the possible risks (even those were delivered with caring tone), and the communication; initial, during, and afterwards is unmatched. I don’t think people understand how much that matters, the constant updates/status on my fur-son were very much appreciated. Even after the visit, they called to check in on him since my budget didn’t allow me to leave him at another vet for recovery, they were on top of it. I felt I was guided through his aftercare. Also office is pretty tidy too and place looks very organized.… read full review
