Friendly, knowledgable, and somewhat expensive. The cost was high—the regular exam fee was about 5-10% higher than the other exotic pet vets that I called, but I chose to bring our hamster here because it was closest to our home by a good bit. After an initial exam, it turned out that the needed diagnostic tests and treatments would have been more than we could afford, especially for a hamster toward the end of a typical hamster's lifespan. That said, throughout the process, the staff and Dr. Boyer were friendly, understanding, courteous, and accommodating. Dr. Boyer was able to confirm that our hamster was quite sick, but explained how it was not with what we had initially thought. We were given quotes for additional services before being asked to authorize anything. We very much appreciated that he and the staff were patient and kind with us as my wife and I debated the difficult decision of what to do with our dear furry friend.
Wonderful, compassionate veterinary care. Dr. D'Amore went above and beyond in diagnosing and caring for my aging cat. She was compassionate and caring when I had to put my Zephyr to sleep as a result of advanced Pancreatic Cancer. Top notch facility.
Dr. Boyer truly cares about the quality of life of each pet. He once said to me, "the value of the pet is not in how much it cost when you bought it, but in the bond you've built with it since then." He gets it. Not only does he know the state-of-the-art treatments for the complex issues, he was willing to help us come up with a workable payment plan. More, he was happy to discuss our rabbits' issues on the phone at length, helping us understand what was going on in a down-to-earth way. I'm so glad we got the treatment for our rabbit rather than just put her down. She's thriving today. Dr. Boyer is our trusted bunny vet.
This vet is great. Great bedside manner, great with followup care, very communicative and they listen to you... But they charge $500 for a spay! That's five followed by two zeros; five times what I was quoted by every other vet in the area. My cat is a healthy young cat and has no health problems. This is just their standard fee. They won't quote you over the phone, I had to bring her in to find out they want FIVE hundred dollars. I will return to this vet again, but for any major procedures I will shop around.
