Hands down, It was the best experience for my fur baby. My 7 yr French bulldog has IVDD And had a flareup. They were able to get him quickly and evaluate him. I appreciated that they were not quick to rush to surgery and the neurologist recommended crate rest. 6 weeks and following instructions and he is doing 100% better. The Vet tech’s and overall staff were fantastic. Highly recommend. My boy does not like the vet, but he was giving kisses to the staff. I trust my dog – Trish G – Google Review
