This is a very good vet clinic. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful. The doctors are very compassionate, helpful, and take the time to explain the details of care. I highly recommend it. The bat house outside the clinic is cool.

I cannot recommend Dr. Dickerson and her team enough.
She cared for my cat when I had to make the heartbreaking decision to put her down due to cancer about six years ago, and she also cared for my dog, Sheba, throughout the 12 years I had her. When it was time to say goodbye to Sheba, Dr. Dickerson and her staff handled everything with such compassion, kindness, and dignity.
Not only was the cost far more affordable than many other local veterinarians, but they went above and beyond by arranging her cremation and returning her to me in a beautiful memorial box with her name on it, along with a ceramic paw print that I will cherish forever.

Dr. Schirmer successfully helped us through a crisis with our pair of house rabbits. It was approaching memorial day weekend. He saw them daily, treated them agressivly and with out a doubt saved their lives. He prepared us to continue treating them at home. Came to the office twice on his days off. He even followed them over the holiday weekend and made adjustments to there treatment. He is a very knowledgeable, compassion
