We have known Dr. Nate for a while and been taking our pets which are an extension of our family to him for some time now. I appreciate his candidness yet ability to be empathetic when needed and unfortunately we have had some sick pets in those years that haven’t been able to pull through where that empathy was truly needed and appreciated.
He is a true professional and example of what a great veterinarian is and should be. Thank you Dr. Nate for everything you have done for my family!
Our pets don’t exactly send thank-you notes, but if they could, Dr. Nate and the amazing nurses at Associated Vet would have a whole stack by now. Between our two dogs and cat, we’re there often, and every single visit reminds us why we drive from Delano.
Dr. Nate is honest, compassionate, and explains everything clearly—never any pressure, never any judgment. The nurses are absolute angels: kind, patient, and always treating our pets like their own. We trust this team completely, and we’re so grateful for the care they give our furry family.
We've been bringing our dogs and cats to Dr Nate for a couple years now. He is an awesome vet and his staff is always great as well. I wish they still had an office location closer to Montrose but I'm willing to make the drive to Cokato for his top notch animal care! Thanks for everything you guys do for our furry pets! 👏
