Negative 5 stars would be appropriate! We have never left a review~ But this was by far one of the saddest experiences of our lives! Our hearts are broken! As huge pet lovers, we feel obligated, in the very least to warn others about this facility. We hope that this deters anyone from even thinking of visiting this mess! Please believe us when we say, it’s not worth the trauma we are facing! We had to make the humane yet toughest decision to send our 20 yr old family pet to cross the Rainbow Bridge. My only child. After initially reading the positive reviews on their homepage we felt comfortable enough to call. (Sadly we found the other negative reviews here, after the fact, had we known otherwise, we wouldn’t be here going through this pain). We’re taking this time to try as we navigate through our grief to articulate this the best we can. Hoping this will alleviate some of my guilt as well! Hoping to save others from a world of heartache. The assistant initially seemed accommodating, helpful, caring, & reassuring~ main factor of going forward w/taking our sweet little fur baby to be put to rest. We felt at peace during the time waiting up until our dreaded appointment. This is something that had to be done w/ of course the least amount of distress put upon her. It was essential that we not put any unnecessary stress on her or us, especially at the end of her long happy life. To venture out in a storm, miles away was necessary. They were not taking new patients. It was considered an emergency, so they were “willing to help”. Seeing it was a countryside farmhouse vet we had some solace. Wow were we wrong; utterly shocked! One wouldn’t think it is too much to request so badly wanting a safe space to comfort our loved one as they went to sleep; a loving atmosphere for all involved. It is so essential for a smooth, peaceful transition, also for the sake of mental health to have this when putting down their family member fur baby. If you are looking for compassionate loving care, this is not the place! Sadly we feel deceived. We made the mistake of assuming that there would be a professional loving touch & soothing surroundings. But to have to beg w/ no positive results is unconscionable. Having our sweet baby wrapped in her blanket~sheltered, walking up the slippery approach from the fresh fallen snow & frigid winds, we approached the building, opened the door expecting welcoming staff to soothe our worries. We sadly discovered the polar opposite. This left me in confusion… I trusted somebody with “that much experience” would help us through one of the most toughest times of our lives. We honestly thought, w/ our own experiences of having pets put down, there would be a loving staff there to comfort & support us. This was the complete opposite. This was the most rude, unprofessional, MEAN, heartless, utterly insensitive medical individual we have ever crossed paths with, in our entire life. SHAME ON HIM! I will not go into detail of the specific nightmare that we endured. We would have left if it was not for the assistant! It is not my nature to go against my instincts, but I did not think it was fair to our baby to put her through more unnecessary anguish & go back out into the harsh weather at dark to try to find a facility after hours. If it wasn’t for those factors, we absolutely would’ve left! There was zero empathy & sympathy from the “other”. Pure evil! We are trying to force our minds to erase this unfortunate situation to be the last memory of our precious angel. It’s traumatizing even thinking about how negative of a situation we were in during her last breaths. I try to give the benefit of the doubt & multiple chances to others. I feel like I was doing the right thing. Yes the assistant was kind. Sadly that wasn’t enough to make up for the inexcusable behavior of the “other”! I pray to be able to forgive myself! I pray for this elderly individual to retire. It is time! If the purpose of me being here now is to reach only one more person, then that’s the reason why I was put in this position.

I don't normally write reviews but I am appalled at the way I was treated at this vet. The "office" is filthy, there are ants all over the floor, dried up medicine dripping down the cabinets, there is a medical tray full of dirty used needles, rags and syringes. The vet is EXTREMELY unprofessional and rude. I should have trusted my gut and turned around and left. When I brought in my foster dog he was not weighed, the vet could not conduct any blood work tests needed for my foster and did not listen to my concerns about his health issues. I was in the office for less than 10 minutes and the rescue was charged over $90. Total money grab and I would NEVER recommend for anyone to bring their animals here. The rest of the reviews for this place give a false appearance as to what to expect. The ONLY thing this place has going for it was the wonderful secretary, which is why I scheduled with them in the first place.

Reasonable fees for good animal care. If you want your pet treated like a human, for human healthcare-level prices, go to the local animal hospital instead. Dr. Williamson is EXACTLY the sort of veterinarian I need! I've always been able to get my cat in at short notice when she needs antibiotics for a UTI. So glad a friend told me about this place!

Awesome experience! I felt like I actually got some help for my 🐈 Knowledgeable and didn't over charge me. When no one else would see my pet, he did! Thank you Dr. Williamson.
