    We were treated with kindness and respect. The only problem is that we waited quite awhile even though we had an appointment. But the doctor was very knowledgeable and kind to our kitty and agreed with us that he only needed the rabies shot. Thank you for your service.

    Chelsea at the front desk was so sweet and truly went above and beyond for us. I had called so many clinics trying to get help for my sick pup and kept being told to go to the ER, which just wasn’t doable for us financially. I asked if there was any way they could fit us in, and even though they couldn’t, Chelsea took the time to help us find another clinic that could see us the same day. She even followed up the next day to check in and see how we were doing. We are so thankful for her kindness…it really meant a lot during such a stressful time!
