Dr Tolbert created the space for me to focus on the good-bye, not the details of tasks to complete. She asked if I had questions, answered my questions, and then let me set the pace. I needed that. Her kindness, compassion, and empathy made the entire process sting much less.

Dr. Monroe was very kind and gentle with my elderly cat, Eli. She was very professional, explained everything thoroughly, but was also extremely compassionate. The process went very smoothly and I could not have had a better experience at such a difficult and painful time.

Simply put: she’s the vet you’d want. We received everything we needed and more from Dr. Dykstra. The emergency occurred when our elderly father was alone when his beloved cat suddenly showed signs of failing, pain/end stage of life. This was highly stressful for our family because it’s the first time a family member could not help in the time needed. “Dr. Jen”immediately responded, was calming, compassionate, thorough, and helped beyond measure. She was patient with dad and helped him as his cat passed without more pain and suffering. She also followed up with us, too. Highly recommend.

Dr. Bean is a truly compassionate person. He has the ability to make you feel that you have an opportunity to make informed decisions about your pets. Dr. Bean has a gift for dealing with people and animals. We were so thankful that he was part of our journey to send Ivan to a better place. Thank you so much!

Dr Ayala was fantastic. Very calming and understanding of the rough situation. She was very punctual, assessed and agreed it was time to say goodbye. Worked around family members to get around to do what needed done, she allowed ample time to say goodbye before administering the euthanasia

We are forever grateful for the peaceful passing provided by Dr. Melissa Magnotta for our 15-year old dog Henry at home. Dr. Magnotta's kind compassion and dedicated expertise allowed us to comfort him with love and pats in his final moments. She is a remarkable veterinarian and a genuinely empathetic person who balances providing humane pet care with the heartache of pet owners at the most difficult time.
