What's wrong with it?

I am very grateful to Dr. Gibson Fernandez for caring for my little dog with such love and concern; he has been my dogs' vet for years—first at another clinic and now at this one—because wherever he goes, my furry girls go too. He is a wonderful doctor and a great human being. View on Google (opens in new tab)

We are so grateful for the kindness and care everyone showed our Nana, our 15-year-old Labrador.

What's wrong with it?

There is no doubt that Dr. Hutson is knowledgeable. Unfortunately, my experience was that follow-up care was lacking and treatment recommendations often seemed limited to medication rather than exploring all options. After appointments, communication was minimal, and I felt like… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

What's wrong with it?

In June 2026 I took my 11 year old 18 pound cat to Dr Hutson for a routine check to see if she had arthritis. Dr. Hutson took my precious cat in the back room where they take x-rays. She came back out with my cat and said everything looks good that there was only minor arthritis… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

We have a community outdoor cat that we have been caring for for over 10 years. Recently she wasn't eating as well as usual and lost a lot of weight. We took her to Tri County who did blood work and suggested a follow up in a month. A week later she was getting worse and we… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

What's wrong with it?

Terrible experience. I called this clinic to get an estimate for neutering my cat, and the woman on the phone was extremely rude, abrupt, and unhelpful. She acted like she didn’t want to answer any questions and provided almost no information or explanation. What made the… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

We are so relieved we found Dr. Hutson and the folks at Compassionate Care. They have provided excellent care for our two cats.
