My sweet elderly baby girl was actively dying.My mom went to the office to see if they could work her in, considering they were super busy. I want to thank Dr. Kelsey, for her compassion to my mother and love, she showed my fur baby. I can not Thank her enough.
Always very busy in the summer. Always friendly and polite. They get you in and out in a timely manner. I was fortunate that they were the only vet taking new clients when I moved to the area. They are wonderful. And keep meticulous records.
I have been a long time client at this vet office. They have seen my boy same day and are always on top of things.
People seem to think this office should accommodate emergencies for tourists, I don't think that should weigh on their overall. This is a touristy area but this is a small town vet and cannot accommodate the influx of people. There may be other locations to take your sick pet last minute but it's not fair to rate low because they turned you away. The ti region needs an emergency vet location/services just like they have an ER for humans but that is not the responsibility of this practice.
