I brought my 10 month old kitten here to see Dr Scott Dieter due to her having a reaction from medication for her respiratory infection. During the visit due to my kitten needing her 2nd round of vaccines Dr Dieter administered the vaccinations WHILE SHE WAS SICK AND ON… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

We have been taking our dogs here for the last 20 years. We have always seen Dr Kern, and she is great. She is very compassionate and helpful. Last year we saw Dr Dieter when our smaller dog torn a ligament in his back leg. Dr Dieter did surgery on my doggie and I happy to… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
