I’ve been wanting to post a review for THE LONGEST for sometime in the past 3 years but I kept forgetting. I first went to Grove Center Vet after adopting my very first dog ever. I first met Dr Bender and his staff. I was so impressed. Mia was 1 and I was new at everything. Little did I know Dr Bender was in the process of retiring.

I’ve been very happy with the service and care of my dog. It’s easy to get appointments the same day when my dog is sick . The doctor and office staff are courteous and take time to answer questions.
