Super kind, and caring staff. You can tell they all genuinely love animals. I felt very comfortable, as did my cats. Both my boys were well behaved and liked all the sraff they came in contact with! So important! I used to drive 45 minutes to my previous vet but desperately needed a good vet closer to my home. I adopted a very anxious cat that does not do well in a carrier and gets very sick in the car. So nice to have this place only 15 minutes from my house. They are quick about approving prescription orders on Chewy and they don't try and get you to do unnecessary tests for extra $. Highly recommend this veterinarian.

The most kind, caring & compassionate group of people! Dr White is such a wonderful doctor who explains everything and listens to your concerns. I’ve never been happier with a Veterinary office than I am taking my furbaby here! Thankful to have found them !

The team here is unbelievable in the best way possible. The level of care and education provided at Forest Ridge is the best we’ve ever experienced. They are also wonderful and super knowledgeable, not just about dogs, but cats as well which can be hard to come by. HIGHLY recommend!

Took our new puppy for our first visit to Forest Ridge and it was a five star experience. The staff was very friendly and office was super clean. Dr. White was absolutely amazing! She took her time with us and gave us some tips for training with the puppy. We were seeing a different vet for our other two dogs but will be transferring them to Dr. White as well.

Sharing my experience for other pet owners. I would not recommend this vet office. I had an emergency visit for my senior cat, I was grateful for the same day appt. Although at a high fee of $120 and was told they had a cancellation where I could fit into. They definitely made money off my visit! The Dr and tech were very professional and kind. They prescribed gabapentin liquid which I gave my cat and noticed my cat was still having episodes. The medication was working at first and then all of sudden didn’t. I contacted their office in attempt to ask questions about why the medication wasn’t working, because I was using it as instructed. It was the bottom of the bottle, didn’t know if that was the cause. Something simple as trying to get medication information on how to use from the vet turned into the impossible. Never experienced this from any vet service. They use a text messaging service in which Janice and another young lady who was not a vet, or technician would text message in a manner that was not helpful. My question was never answered. I called their office to try to get the medication info, and was told someone would get back to me. That turned into additional text messages, where I was told they are not doctors and have limited info to provide, I was then told to schedule another visit to speak with the doctor. The text messages were not professional at times, where I was told, she was writing me on her time off during after hours, and was trying to relay info but didn’t understand how to answer my questions. This went on for some time. With a lot of frustration, overwhelming and turned into an endless back and forth. I opted to contact Chewy’s 24/7 vet hotline, advice from a friend. It should not be complicated to get a simple medication question answered. I’m looking to understand what’s going on, if I need a higher dose or more often or spaced out. I could not get that support/answered by this vet’s office. Instead, I was advised to pay another $120 to go into the office to speak to the doctor about the medication. I requested that their office stop texting me, because it wasn’t helpful. They both kept messaging me that they didn’t know or repeating themselves, at times it was very late at night. Fast forward to Today, I spoke with Janice, the co-owner of this practice. I requested a refill and was told that they are “severing” my relationship as a client with me. Because I requested they stop texting. I attempted to explain why, I only got to share a little about the frustration of not being able to get medication into. She didn’t want to “debate”, talk about it further and told me, they do not want my business. She didn’t even know why I requested to stop the texting, nor did she ask. I understand small vet offices, understaffed situations, I work for global brands for 25+ years, I know how to manage operations. This I have not ever experienced. My warning to any pet owners, if you need support outside their office, you will not get it. I was told they are a small practice and there’s only one doctor, it’s impossible for the Dr to call back anyone. Going into the office is the only way. The texting service is not helpful communication. Attempting to provide medical info via text is insanity. They do not understand how to provide simple info on medication. That’s incredibly alarming, because most of the time, pet owners will have questions about medication or lab work. It will most likely be different for all pets. Save yourself frustration, peace of mind and money - go to a vet where you will get support for your pet without being told you’re the problem. Where the Vet will take accountability for their lack of support or how they don’t show up for pets and their owners. An already vulnerable situation for everyone. I wish them well. However, I would not refer them to anyone. My neighbor warned me about them too. My message is for pet owners. It’s my experience that Janice did not want to hear today; that now, everyone will know about. Vets need to do better!
