Caring, friendly staff make the difference. We brought Dr. V our senior cat near death's door, and he and his staff nursed her back to a point to give her a fighting chance. Dr. Vanderhoof is very competent, dedicated, and conscientious. He called us almost every morning (weekdays and weekends) to give us a progress report, in addition to the reports in person when we visited our pet @ the hospital. I wish that physicians would treat their human patients with as much consideration. Roberta, the chief nurse and hospital manag... read more

Good experiences In spite of the bad review which said that this vet is expensive, I actually find it reasonable. The vets do take a cautious approach to evaluating the health of your pet, which usually means they try to avoid surgery/chemo and such unless you really want to do it. I've been to vets that want to run every test under the sun for the most routine reasons and I think this vet strikes a good balance between running every conceivable test and not running enough to diagnose problems. I have had 6 cats under care h... read more

Great Vet! I'm very happy with all care that Dr Vanderhoof has given my dog. He is very calm and gentle and my dog even thinks she is given cuddles when in fact she is given a check over... Prices are reasonable and I would recommend anyone to this clinic. TK

Top quality veterinary care with a warm, caring, attitude. Definitely the favorite among the local pet owners, though some travel some distance to go here. Animals are treated like family. I know of veterinarians who have taken their animals to Dr. Sloan for complex surgeries. Dr. Dawson's bird, rabbit, and other exotic pet owning clients travel great distances to take their pets to see her here.

Caring and kind! I was worried about finding a vet for my new cat, a specialty breed. However, I find Dr. Vanderhoof to be very kind and good with animals. He is really interested in their welfare. I would highly recommend him. When the first round of antibiotics we tried didn't work, I took her back and he prescribed a new one. He's very methodical in his medicine, and whatever he recommends makes sense to me. I also really liked the vet tech named "Ginger," a calm and kind influence who was fun to talk to. However, the com... read more

Geat Vets -- awful staff All three vets are terrific. Vanderhoof, Sloan, and Dawson give top-notch care to our dog. (Sloan is our favorite!) The back of the clinic staff -- vet techs -- are wonderful. They're caring, concerned, empathic, and good. Here are the two problems: 1. The behind-the-counter staff are just the opposite. They're seemingly unconcerned, and at times, actually impatient with customers. On one visit, I walked up to the counter and after a few minutes, had to ask if anyone could help me. Sure they're proba... read more
