I was referred to CVRC because the vet thought my dog had a neurological issue. We saw Dr. Peterson and she was wonderful! Turns out he had a bad reaction to antibiotics and developed immune mediated poly arthritis. Dr. Peterson knew exactly what she was looking at and gave us all the information and medication needed to get him fixed up. She was incredible. Like another reviewer said, she got down on the floor and examined every inch of my pup. I feel I was extremely blessed to end up at CVRC. They are wonderful and it was worth every penny to see them. It could have dragged on and cost a lot more had we not met this experienced doctor.

Lightning, our 4 yr. old basset hound had a ruptured disc in his back, and within a week he was dragging his hind legs while trying to walk. After seeing our regular vet, we were referred to Dr. Sophie Peterson at Cascade Veterinary Referral Center. Dr. Petersen did such a thorough examination of Lightning that we couldn't believe it. She got down on the floor with him, and examined every inch of our little guy, and all the while not hurting him one bit. My husband and I (like anybody else who have fur babies they love!) were scared to death, and Dr. Petersen completely put us at ease from the moment we entered the exam room with her. She gave us all of our options, up front, and Lightning had surgery that very same day. Her surgical skills are absolutely the BEST!! And Matt and the rest of the staff were wonderful also. During his overnight stay, they always had a vet tech back with Lightning, and even turned on classical music for him when he got too nervous. While none of us want to see our little babies hurt or in pain, I can tell you that I would take any of our animals there, and trust them completely. They are the best! Thanks so much to all the staff at CVRC!!! Thunder (his brother) and Lightning are back chasing squirrels together!!! Thanks Dr. Petersen!!! Steve, Shelley, Lightning, and Thunder

Our dachshund ruptured a disk and after our experience with Dr. Peterson, I hope we don't need them again but if we do there's no other place I'd go. The whole experience was pretty terrifying for us, pricey, and as comfortable as it could have been for our fur-kid. As someone who often looks for the least expensive option to get the job done, I don't regret a penny that we paid to have CVRC be the place where we had some pretty crazy spinal surgery. Not only is Dr. Peterson caring, thorough, and super knowledgeable, but all of the staff there were wonderful. We were able to call and check in during the post-op hospitalization at any time, and were always treated like the only patients there. The people in reception and on the phones were helpful and kind, and the whole experience could only have been better if we'd been lucky enough to not have had an injured pup at all. I called around not only the city and state, but surrounding states, and potentially could have saved 10 or 15%, but sometimes you get what you pay for and what we got was beyond excellent. I could write a novel about how amazing the all-around care we received was. Thinking of how thankful we are to everyone at CRVC brings a tear to my eye every time. If they saw patients for regular care, we'd drive the 40 minutes to get there any day. Thank you. PS: She's recovering better than we dared to hope for.

Drs Tobin, Petersen, and Dr Keri and all the wonderful folks at CVRC are so wonderful, caring and compassionate. Myself, friends, family have (fortunately?) used these wonderful people for their ailing animals and been grateful for their knowledge and compassion. Thank you and well done!

Dr. Keri has been helping us with treatment options for our sweet beagle boy. He's only 4 years old and has mast cell cancer, which is a pretty aggressive and serious type of cancer. We are just heartbroken. We've been so very grateful for her expertise, professional opinions, caring, and thorough discussion of the various options and their pros and cons. I appreciate her caring and her willingness to take the time to answer questions we have to help us make the best choices for our beagle boy's quality of life and medical treatment options.
