Our patients and their families have been kind enough to share their experiences with us. Here's what they have to say:
"After my cat broke his femur they were a lifesaver. Worked with us to save him and even helped make sure it was in our budget. I'm very grateful to this place and the veterinarian. - Jason C.
"I have been taking my 2 dogs to Dr. Saad for the last 3 years. He always takes good care of them. The dogs seem to like him as well! The staff are great and answer all my questions. The place is clean and has an entrance for dogs and another for cats. - Niolu S.
"I hadn't been here since Dr Fred bought the hospital and I'm so glad to be back! Dr Read was very informative in his quest regarding our old rescue German Shepherd Arthur. He asked detailed questions and gave us reasonable possibilities and assurance of making him as comfortable as possible. We learned more in 5 minutes than we had in the last 5 years. - Kathy B.
