I highly recommend this office if you are looking for a place to take your pet. Every veterinarian in this office cares. Dr. Lapos is a new addition and I highly recommend her! It does tend to get pricey, but they do not charge you for anything unnecessary and will never try to "get more money" for anything like other vets. They are upfront and honest, and the service is unbeatable. ...read more

Dr.DeVries has been our cocker's primary care giver for 11 years. Illnesses and injuries have run the gambit. He has met every challenge we've brought him with kindness and immeasurable skill in diagnosis and treatment. He treats an injured paw with as much caring as he treats heart ailments. When it's your dog on the exam table this is exactly what you hope for. He takes his time with each dog at each appointment and makes sure everything is explained and all our questions answered. The medical care he has provided has been exemplary. Over the years different courses of treatment for specific ailments have been recommended. He has always offered the least invasive as our first course of action, when appropriate, to help avoid having to put any of our dogs through a surgery. However if surgery has been the best way to go he is honest and goes over the procedure with us and allows us to make the decision after we are completely informed. We cannot recommend Dr. DeVries highly enough. We obviously have complete faith in him as a physician as we have entrusted him with the health and well being of an invaluable part of our lives. ...read more
