 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough good things about Dr Sue and staff! Im a groomer and I've been in the business a long time! Ive been to multiple vets, and Dr Sue sat on the floor with my dogs and was very thorough, I can tell she loves what she does and actually cares about the animals. She didn't try to upsell me on anything and her prices were very reasonable! I have found my new vet! Thank you Dr Sue and Staff!! Y'all were amazing!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Sue and her team are truly the BEST!! My family and I am sooooo beyond thankful for her and her staff. Our family dog was acting very strange, twitchy, eyes dilated, not eating, very fast heartbeat, and more. Dr. Sue and her team were able to fit him in their schedule and they saved his life!! Besides this, my family and I have taken our dogs here since probably 2013 and have had such great experiences here. Thank you Dr. Sue and her wonderful wonderful staff!! I 100% recommend coming here!
