Barker Sharon DVM

Dr Barker and his staff are amazing. He has been my vet for over 16 years and I recommend him all the time. I have had horrible experiences at other vets and he has always been honest, upfront, never taken advantage of his services and suggested more than what needed done. His compassion, kindness and friendliness to myself, my family, and our pets is genuine and matchless to any other veterinarian services I have ever received. Highly recommend!

I've been going to Colonial Animal Hospital for about a year and can speak very highly of the business. Dr. Barker takes great care of our dog and never rushes us. The staff is helpful, quick on prescription refills and is welcoming.

This is only the second time I've ever taken the time to post a review but this really needs to be said. Over 20 years, my family has a pet patient at all three vets in town. The first because it was the only vet in town and, honestly, I have nothing bad to say about them. My beloved 17 year old golden-mix died peacefully there after giving us many years of unconditional love and the vet and staff were very nice. A few years later we ended up at a different vet in town with new kittens because my husband simply got mixed up about where to go. No problems there either. One cat suffered a snake bite a few year ago and went to Kitty Heaven and the other one is thriving. All is well with the second vet where he is a patient. About eight months ago my kids decided to give me a companion so I wouldn't be lonely after I left my long-time job. I researched long before my new friend came and decided to go with Dr. Barker, although I had no problems with either of the other two vet clinics. I got a sweet little Marjory, a beautiful Persian kitten, and Dr. Barker and all of his staff have been so good to us. I never feel like extra things are added just to generate more money for the office. Everything is explained and then I choose what is done or not done. I have always been treated with kindness and respect, whether I look professional or like I just drove up there after spending hours working in the dirt (and not smelling very good), and even when I've been hysterical pet mom. Most importantly everyone on staff there loves my Marjory. I know they treat her as if she was their own. In only four months I have grown to respect, trust and feel a fondness (is it love??) for the folks at Colonial that I've never experienced with a vet clinic before. Judging by other clients there when I am there, I'm sure it is not that I've become a cat lady, but because they truly have something special to offer that is rare and seldom found(redundant but worth saying twice).
