Like the other reviewer, I also endorse Dr. Lynch. I had a 17 year old cat that was diagnosed with a tumor. Dr. Lynch did not push for life-saving measures, but counseled me on helping her through her last days. She is also very good with my other "kids." Dr. Hall is also very nice and is great for exotic patients. He healed our hamster's urinary tract infection! Both like that my daughters want to be vets when they grow up and take the time to explain things to them or show them things while we visit. I do agree about the reception staff, though. It is a shame that the doctors work so hard but the others are the real "face" of the office. I too, was treated rudely because my dog had heartworms. The thing they didn't know was that I had adopted her that way and CHOSE to give her a chance at a loving home despite the PRE-EXISTING condition. She gets her monthly treatment but the organism has an 18-month lifespan. Hope I don't get another tongue-lashing in that time!! She also has a bad leg that I did not cause, but I do get raised eyebrows. The office staff needs to realize that the people who are bringing their pets to the vet are NOT the neglecters!!!
Pros: The doctors are great
Cons: The office staff are not

I found the doctors here to be very compassionate and caring. I had never been there before and I took my cat in because she was not eating nor acting like herself. Unfortunately, she had to be euthanized because she had renal failure (she was 13 years old). I was given as much time as I needed to say good-bye to her, and was told of several options available to deal with the situation. Two days later I received a beautiful card in the mail from them about the "Rainbow Bridge" for animals and owners to be reunited in the future. I thought this was exceptional since they had never seen me before. I dealt with Dr. Chad Hall at that time, and have since seen Dr. Leavengood with my other cat. Both were very professional and compassionate. I will go there from now on.
Cons: Office staff is very neutral to patrons.
