Dr. Melgey and everyone else has been amazing to work with. I’ve used them as my vet for years and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a vet in the area. They are up front with pricing, explain test results and answer any questions I’ve had. View on Google (opens in new tab)

The worst vet I had ever been. They don’t care about your animal, they care about money they can get from you! View on Google (opens in new tab)
The worst vet a had experience with. They will try to push you spend as much money as possible, even it’s something minor they’ll try to push to surgery. Don’t go there! View on Google (opens in new tab)
