“We love this practice. Everyone is so kind, and Dr. Aarfman is great. Our cat, Theo, was pretty calm during his entire visit; we’re sure it’s due to the loving environment. Thank you!“

“We had a great visit with our cats. Dr Baxkey took her time with the exam and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend them for your cats.“

“First time cat owner. First time putting the cat in the carrier. She peed in the carrier and they were ready for me. Towels ready and it was all good. Appointment was good, they have a very knowledgeable staff, especially Erica. She answered all my rookie questions without being condescending. Definitely going back.“

“Ive always had a great vet experience and trust them with my two dogs care. I also take one of my dogs here for grooming.“

“We have been here a few times before, but today we had to come back with one of our goats. Tristen was absolutely amazing through the entire process, and so compassionate and gentle with all of us. We knew mom wasn’t going to make it, but Tristen saved her two beautiful, healthy baby girls! I could not recommend her enough as a vet if you have livestock in the Lexington, NC area. She’s young a young vet, but she is truly wonderful and knowledgeable. 5/5 stars for sure.
If you see this, Tristen, thank you again!“

“I’ve used this vet for years. Never had any issues, pricing is clear (I always ask what is optional and they are upfront with that) and the staff is friendly. They tried saving one of our dogs lives a few years ago after developing IMHA that no one could have caught, and although they were unsuccessful, they did everything they could. I did switch vets recently to be closer to our home, after being a bit off-put by whomever handles their responses to negative reviews. I hope they continue to work on this in the future. Wait times can sometimes be long (I’ve waited almost an hour to be seen for appointments, though not often, and the benches are quite uncomfortable). Overall, I believe the Doctors here are very good at what they do and are professional and I thank them for the 5 years of care we received.“

“I wouldn’t take my pets anywhere else. Dr Waller and his wife Jennifer are absolutely amazing. I know that I can always call if I have questions about what is going on with my pets.“

“Excellent Veterinarian! He has great wisdom science and natural God given wisdom! Great patience and spends time with you. A diligent veterinarian. He is also training his staff I’m sure to take over or be in the office as Dr. Maybe one day. I left with wisdom and I now can help others if they have questions with their pets in the same area as I had with mine. Very Thankful! We need more people in our world like this! The staff was very kind ! A+ even when they were super, super busy. They were exceptional also!“

“I cannot say enough good things about this emergency vet team. They quite literally saved my cat’s life, and I will be forever grateful.

Finn came in with a urinary blockage and had not peed in about 15 hours. Even though the wait time was over 8 hours, they recognized the urgency and took him back immediately. From the start, everything was explained to me in a way I could understand, even while I was crying and overwhelmed. They were calm, patient, and never made me feel rushed.

When I agreed to move forward with the catheter procedure, they started right away. Unfortunately, Finn re-blocked and it was determined that a PU surgery was the best option. This was a huge and scary decision, especially financially, but the team gave my family and me time to process, encouraged us to speak with our regular vet, and thoroughly explained all risks and options. Every question we had was answered.

The aftercare instructions were clear and detailed, and anytime we called with follow-up questions, someone took the time to help us. They even cleaned Finn up after surgery when he was unable to clean himself, which meant so much to us.

Because of this team, Finn is alive and healing. I am beyond thankful for their compassion, knowledge, and care. If you ever have an emergency with your pet, this is the team you want.“
