I was searching a long time for a veterinarian who knew the Akita breed and could perform a gastropexy and neuter on my Akita. There are not many Akitas where I live and the vets here said my Akita didn’t need a pexy. Dr. Browning was recommended by Sundara Akitas so I scheduled a consultation and drove 1-1/2 hours to meet with her. Dr. Browning was wonderful! She knows all about Akitas! She explained both surgeries in detail, covered the pre- and post-instructions, along with what to expect during recovery. I was so happy and relieved to have found an “Akita” vet. My big bear, Nobu, is scheduled for surgery soon and I am thankful he is in great hands!

I can't say enough nice things about this practice. Dr. Brown and Dr. Browning are extremely knowledgeable, skilled, caring and compassionate. The techs and receptionists are equally attentive and kind. I have a senior dog that has suffered with a number of ailments. He has had eye issues, a back issue, dental issues, a heart murmer, digestive upset and a poisoning episode. The office offers emergency work-in appointments that are invaluable. I never feel rushed. The fees are comparable. I especially appreciate the holistic slant. My dog isn't the most cooperative, but the entire staff makes effort to make him feel comfortable.
