    Dr. Lynn Lawrence is always so very kind, compassionate, listens well, takes time to examine pets thoroughly and clearly cares for animals. She gives very fair and wise counsel for treatments, never with any aim of self-benefit. St. Francis staff and other veterinarians reflect her care as well.

    I just had to have my very elderly cat euthanized. Abbie (one of the techs) and Dr. Harmon were beyond sympathetic and caring. They were absolutely wonderful and made a horrible agonizing decision easier to make. A few days later, his 'aquamains' were ready for me to pick up. (That means they do the cremation in water instead of fire.) They were nicely boxed, and put inside an elegant drawstring bag, and included a certificate of aquamation for my cat and a wooden pendant with his pawprint. I would highly recommend this vet clinic. It's small and homey, not big and impersonal.

    Both my Labradores's have been cared for by St Francis Pet Clinic since they were 8 weeks old. Even though they have gotten their shots there, my dogs are unafraid and even go a little crazy with excitement whenever we drive up to or by the clinic. My eldest dog is now 14 1/2 and my youngest is 1 year. They have always been well cared for and loved by the doctors and staff. The clinic has always been responsive as well. They send me annual reminders for vistis. As my eldest dog turns the corner, I am turning to St. Francis Clinic for sage advice and end of life care. I know Dallas has lived a healthy and happy life, with much gratitude to this clinic. A+
