Sadie..my dog..loves this place. Doesn't matter what I think! (I do love it though) Sadie was made very comfortable by Dr. Christian. She's a rescue and came from a neglectful and abusive home. She's a little scared of new people and really only fully trusts mom and dad. She took to the doctor right away and I knew right then that this would be her permanent vet. He was very gentle taking her blood. In fact...you would think she was daydreaming about a bone. Never felt it. Great place.

If you are going to visit this practice, they do not do appointments, so it can make it difficult to see a particular doctor at a convenient time or in timely manner. E.g. We waited over an hour for a simple bordetella vaccine.

We didn't get to meet Dr. Stowe. Instead, we met w/ Dr. Christian and were very disappointed for a few reasons.

My dog's distemper vaccine wasn't due until 2018, but Dr. Christian insisted she receive it, even though I said I didn't want her to have it yet.

He also made us come back a week later for her bordetella vaccine in order to avoid a reaction with her rabies and distemper vaccines. I understand why this precaution is taken, but it's unusual to have owners do this when their dog is relatively young and perfectly healthy. In the years past, I've never run into this problem when taking my dog to get her annual vaccines. If anything, this could discourage an owner from coming back.

Finally, Dr. Christian tried to talk us into giving her the controversial lyme disease vaccine. He told us that lyme disease isn't treatable (it is). Again, I understand the benefits of taking precautions, but it very much felt like he was trying to use misinformation in order to scare us into buying another vaccine. I'm the type of person that makes sure my pets are always safe and protected (vaccines, flea/heartworm prevention, etc.), but this felt a little deceptive.

The cost of vaccines at this clinic are great, and the tech and reception staff are patient and fabulous! But we switched practices due to inconvenience and our unhappiness with this particular doctor. Our new doctor takes the time to educate us all aspects of good pet care, and bases his recommendations off of our individual pets' needs.

Dr. Stowe is the sweetest, most patient vet that I have ever been to. He has seen two of my cats now, and always takes his time to explain exactly what he is doing and why, and all possible reasons for their illness/issue. I've never left an appointment with questions or concerns that weren't addressed. I recently moved across town, but I drive the extra 20 minutes just to visit him. Also, my cats adore him! It's pretty cute how well behaved they are just for him :) The techs are always so sweet, and the receptionist is so nice every time I speak to her. We are moving across the country soon, and I worry that I won't find a vet that we love as much as Dr. Stowe - we will miss you!
