I am so unhappy with this vet service, Colin Marburger was the person who was the So called Vet. Took my dog in to the office all this man would do is talk about is money not how we can help my dog but money . yes i know it cost money for everything but he is more concerned about money then the care of the animal, This place is not compassionate at all .. Julie used to be . I said used be...so i would not take an animal to this service . The whole time we were time all he has worried about was money, not compassinate about the care of the animal .

Dr Julie is the best! Valerie rocks! They are both so compassionate, kind, and caring. They both laugh at (in their words) our "big old goofy dog". Yeah, well we tend to agree with them about our near 100# lab. He's a happy dog, wagging his coffee table clearing device. Thx! -Steve
