They are great! When I adopted our puppy they saved her life. She was really sick and unknown to me at the time. They have taken great care of her for 5 years so far. Recently she had a growth on her back leg which they removed and she has healed with no problems and thank goodness not cancer. I would definitely recommend Dr J Brock Hendrix he is the kindest most compassionate veterinarian and person. I can't thank him enough for what he has done for our pet baby girl Bailey.

I absolutely love this office. All the staff are professional and compassionate. My pom was diagnosed with IVDD at CVET and they got her right in as a new client. I can call if we run out of meds and the biggest part of this review, my dog never is upset to go in with them even though because of CoVID I can’t go with her. I love this clinic would never use any other.
