They have been wonderful each time I have needed them. They worked me in during an emergency and were able to work with me on budget. I cannot thank them enough for the prompt and attentive care they have given to my dog that is geriatric View on Facebook (opens in new tab)

What's wrong with it?

I cannot say enough good things about this vet office. Last night was terrifying, Hank was having severe coughing fits and struggling to catch his breath, and none of us slept.

We help with shelter fosters in a very rural county. We just switched to this veterinary clinic a few weeks ago. We have nothing but paw-sitive things to say about this place.

What's wrong with it?

I'm so happy we found this vet for our dog. In the past it's been hard finding a vet we trusted with the care our dog, but we're so glad Dr. Rogers is just down the road and that she is so passionate and knowledgeable about her profession.

My dog is a shelter rescue, with trust issues. She is snarly, and snaps at new humans. The professionals here literally had her eating out of their hands. View on Facebook (opens in new tab)

What's wrong with it?

These people are so locked up with fear that they keep the door locked, and will not even come to the door when you arrive. Instead, the woman behind the desk sat there and held her hand to her ear as to say “call me”. That is lazy and rude. At least install a call box.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Our tiny one, our English bully LOVES his doctor. Dr. Anna Ligman has saved our bully (because he likes to eat everything!) more than once. We adore her, and her office staff! We couldn’t recommend her practice more! They love animals, like we do ❤️ View on Facebook (opens in new tab)

We are so grateful for Dr. Ligman and her team. Extremely kind and exceptional professionals for their field. I would recommend this practice to anyone.
