  We recently had to euthanize our beloved French bulldog, Einstein. Dr hollenbeck and her staff treated us with respect and great empathy. They spent a lot of time with us explaining our options and explaining the diagnosis of Einstein. They made us feel very comfortable and the whole experience was comforting and peaceful. Thank you, you were able to make a very heartbreaking decision a little less difficult. They put a blanket on the floor and I was able to lie down with Einstein and comfort him. Thank you again

  l really can’t say enough good about this facility and staff after a visit with our 5 month old lab. Nick the hospital manager went out of his way to help us out. The entire staff were gracious and worked us in when our puppy started limping badly. The staff were all wonderful and the doc was excellent, very caring diagnosing the problem and promptly treating her so she could enjoy the last few days of our vacation, too. I would not hesitate recommending this facility and their caring staff and would use them again if the need would arise.

  I’ve been taking my 6-year-old pitbull, Dojo, to Dr. Betts for almost two years now, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. When I moved from Virginia, I was devastated to leave the vet Dojo had seen his entire life… but finding Dr. Betts has been the biggest relief. We absolutely love her. She has removed mast cell tumors from Dojo, managed his severe allergies, helped us trial anxiety medications, and is now preparing to remove another mass and complete his dental cleaning. Through every single visit, she has gone above and beyond. What stands out most is how thorough and intentional she is. Her exams never feel rushed; she really takes the time to talk through everything with me, answer every question, and make sure I understand all options. Yes, sometimes I wait a bit for our appointment—honestly, I don’t mind at all. I assume she’s giving another pet parent the same thorough care she gives me, and I appreciate that just as much when it’s my turn! She also knows Dojo and what helps him feel safe. She never restrains him unnecessarily, and she works with him instead of against him. That alone has made vet visits so much less stressful for him. For anyone with an anxious pup, I highly recommend asking your vet about a prescription like trazodone for before appointments. It helps the dog stay calmer, allows the vet to do a complete exam, and keeps everyone safer. I feel incredibly grateful to have found a veterinarian who treats Dojo with such compassion, patience, and expertise. Dr. Betts is truly the best. 🐾❤️ special shoutout to the techs and front desk ladies as well, they are so kind!
