Moved into the area and started to search for a local vet. After reading the reviews I thought this establishment could be the right fit. Sadly before I could get my dog for his annual check up he experienced 2 seizures in one day. Luckily I was able to get my dog an appointment right away during the holidays. Upon arrival we were the only ones in office and no one greeted us for over 10 minutes. Once we met the vet and provided mine and pet’s info. The vet takes us to the exam room. We had to remind the vet 3 times we are here for his annual check up, shots, concerned about our dog’s cataracts, and most importantly his seizures. I was told seizures are normal, his eye sight wasn’t checked, and we only got a rabies shot. We were given over the counter supplements for our dog’s seizures. This was confirmed by another vet later in the week. Our dog’s weight was never checked and we barely had an exam for his hearing, heart, vision and etc. Upon payment the vet finally told me they only accepts check or cash. Mind you we did tell the vet when making the appointment we are new patients and is there anything we need to know before arrival. I had to run to the ATM to get cash. When I read old school in the reviews that didn’t bother me because I had an old school vet when my cat was alive but that practice was more efficient, the vet was attentive and still was able to remember why we are visiting him that day. I do believe this vet is here to help locals who can only afford the bare minimum of vet services and that’s great for them to have but this vet needs to retire.

Sooo happy I came across this doctor! He is old school but like one of the comments states, THE REAL DEAL. I had my dogs teeth cleaned and he was so knowledgeable and precise in his work. PLEASE go see him!!!

I like this place the best. He is very professional, kind, conscientious and has very good prices. I feel "at home" when I walk in there. He works only from 9-12 pm on Saturdays and does surgeries during the week. Mostly it's something about his style and calm demeanor that draws me back. His qualities remind me of what I loved about "the good old days."

Needed a vet for Mia's infected eye. Dr was able to take us. Knowledgeable, reasonable prices. 40 yrs of experience.
