What recent reviews say

Owners consistently describe a team that treats their pets as individuals. Dr. Horsley and other named staff (Abi, Scarlette, Shane, Kendal, Dr. Faggioni) are praised for patience with anxious animals, clear explanations, and willingness to explore options rather than rush decisions. One owner tracked a dog's bladder stones over six months with ultrasound monitoring, another appreciated deposit refunds and free replacement medication when rescheduling.

Across routine wellness, dental, urgent care, and end-of-life visits, reviewers report easy scheduling, a clean and modern facility, and staff who greet returning pets by name. The clinic's handling of difficult moments-like guiding families through euthanasia decisions-figures prominently in loyalty. No recent complaints surface in the available reviews.

Dogs come for orthopedic surgery and leave with owners confident the procedure was the right call. Surgeons like Dr. Allman and Dr. Bevan perform thorough exams, explain treatment options grounded in recent research, and make time for questions without rushing. The facility rivals human surgical centers; staff stays attentive through recovery with on-site physical therapy and no hidden charges. Recent TPLO cases show dogs returning to full activity within two to four months, with owners repeatedly noting the transparency about costs and aftercare instructions that went beyond what they expected. Consultants from other states drive hours to seek second opinions here.

Most visits run smooth and affordable, with Dr. Bob and his team earning consistent praise for taking time with worried owners and difficult pets without pushing unnecessary treatments. The main friction point remains waits that can stretch well past appointment time, a recurring issue that even loyal clients find hard to overlook. Staff members like Sam and Red are named as standouts for their skill with anxious or complex cases. The practice handles routine care through end-of-life support, and reviewers emphasize the independence of the practice and its focus on pet health over profit, which sets it apart in a category often dominated by corporate operators.

Most visits feel unhurried and attentive. Staff and vets (particularly Dr. Leach) take time to understand each pet's needs, answer questions without pressure to buy unnecessary services, and conduct thorough exams. Recent five-star reviews consistently praise the team's warmth and expertise with multi-pet households and long-term care. A small number of older complaints describe missed diagnoses and rough handling; the clinic's recent direction under current leadership drew one long-term client's concerns, though recent visits continue to earn five-star ratings. Reviewers across ages and pet types find the clinic thorough but accessible. Dr. Leach and Dr. Naylor (retired) have each built strong followings. Many clients mention staying for years or returning after moves away. The clinic performs its own radiographs, ultrasound imaging, and dental procedures on site, so referrals out are less common than some alternatives.
