I have had pets my whole life, and Dr. Good is by far the best vet I have ever met. \t\n\t\nWhen I first moved to SLC, I didn't know where to take my dog. I ended up taking him to a vet that was open on a sunday when my dog had fallen ill. This other vet clinic made me wait so long, not in the waiting room but in the exam room, they charged an atrocious amount of money for the simplest of procedures. After a bill of OVER $700 for treatment of gastroenteritis and dehydration and a quote of $700 for a simple teeth cleaning procedure, I decided to look elsewhere. \t\n\t\nA friend had recommended Dr. Good at Alcor Cresta. Immediately I noticed a difference. Dr. Good was prompt in coming into the exam room, he was on the floor cooing and petting my dog. He even asked if my dog had any nicknames, so he would feel more comfortable. The dental cleaning was only $150! Dr. Good even recommended a way to keep my dogs teeth clean so i would never have to take him in for a cleaning again. Today my dog went in for a possible infection in his urethra, and Dr. Good took tests and found it was nothing, i was only charged for the office visit, not for the tests. I know if it was the other vet, I would have been charged probably double. \t\n\t\nIt is clear to me that Dr. Good is in it for the animals, not the money, as most vets these days seem to be. He puts the welfare of the animals first. I wish there were more stars, I would give him a 10! ...read more

I first met Dr. Good about 12 years ago when I had a feisty little dog with a hard-to-diagnose skin condition. My previous vet had tagged her as Vicious and a Bite Threat - with a red-label folder. He wouldn't even get close enough to her to see what the problem was. She has never bitten anyone, by the way - just barked a lot. Anyway, when we finally met Dr. Good, he got down on the ground and talked to her like he wanted to help - there was no more barking, and he was her friend for life. I have taken my pets to him ever since, and will for as long as he will work! His staff is excellent, too - we love Mary's grooming and inter-personal skills. ...read more

My dog LOVES going to see Dr. Good and his staff. Dr. Good has an instant connection with animals and you can tell he really cares for animals and is there to do whatever it takes to make sure your pet is well taken care of. Also, the staff is always friendly and knows my dog by name. \t\n\t\nI have always been impressed with the groomers, Mary does such a great job and is very reasonable on pricing. Thanks Alcor Cresta for always making my dog and myself feel welcome!\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n ...read more
