My mother and I bring our dog here. We recently got a text saying our dog had Lyme disease. As worried owners we called the office for an explanation and information on what kind of medicine we need. When we spoke with the doctor he was very rude. I told him about the text we received and his reply was “and?” I thought that was an odd response from a doctor to a worried client. Then when I asked him how much the medicine would cost he said “idk.” He was extremely short with me and had a condescending tone which felt incredibly insulting considering our circumstances. My mother went to pick up the medicine and she had further questions about Lyme symptoms and the protocol. The woman at the front desk told her to google it. After this sort of interaction we will no longer be taking our dog to this Vet. These people showed us 0 compassion. We will be looking for a more considerate and personable veterinarian. Hope this helps other considering this place

I take my cat here and can’t recommend this clinic highly enough. From the moment you walk in, you can tell everyone genuinely cares. Every staff member I’ve met (vet techs, receptionists, and the vets) is kind, patient, and always willing to help. I’ve never felt rushed or dismissed once, and they take the time to make sure you feel confident and comfortable with the care your pet is receiving every time. Dr. Kidd is truly exceptional. He goes above and beyond in every visit, taking the time to explain things clearly, answer every question, and make sure both you and your pet feel at ease. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and it shows every time we see him. That has been a huge reason why I trust this clinic completely. He makes every visit smooth, informative, and we will continue to see him as long as we can. The vet techs we have seen are amazing, knowledgeable, and compassionate, and the receptionists are always friendly and eager to help with anything you need. Wait times are reasonable, and it’s a smaller office so you won’t ever be sitting and waiting for hours like other clinics. They will go out of their way to answer questions, address concerns, and ensure your pet is receiving the best possible care. I wouldn’t trust my cat with anyone else. This is hands-down the best veterinary team in the area. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
