They were so good when my cat Smokey got diabetes. Unfortunately he did not make it and through all of it they were there for me. Hugs after he passed and a very sweet message and a card. Thank you!! ❣️

We have been going to Eastlawn for quite awhile. They always try to get our animals in quickly! Dr. Bottorf has been really calm, good with our 16yr old dog and our special needs kitty among all of our pets! All of the vets working with him were good. When they both passed it was devastating but their team is very compassionate! I never had to worry with our loving, needy attention animals because the whole team gave them love, pets, cuddles, attention to make them more comfortable when they had to have hospital stays! That meant alot to us! They understood us and our pets needs! Thank you!

My dog needed emergency care on a Saturday. I had to come up with money for the surgery. They took her first thing Monday morning. She is home recovering and doing so much better! The young man at the reception desk was very helpful and kind. Dr's super knowledgeable!

Dr. Bottorf and clinic have been the BEST EVER. I appreciate Dr. Bottorf responding to phone calls and texts though Has come out for my animals during the night and weekends when needed not wanting to let an animal suffer. The clinic is in a good location allowing for easy pickup and drop off. The staff.have always been kind and professional. Over the years we've had to make a few tough decisions and never felt pressured.

I love Eastlawn. They are always kind and loving to my animals, they get me in right away if there’s an urgent need, and they always give me great education on how to keep my pets healthy! I have 2 sphynx cats and 3 dogs - all different breeds. Dr. Bottorf is magnificent - so knowledgeable and when I’m scared or nervous about something going on, he gives me straight answers, but he does it with compassion. I don’t know what I’d do without him! Also, they take calls after hours which is rarely needed but really sets my mind at ease. I highly recommend Eastlawn!
