★★★★★ 5.0 Amber Marie Winterhalter · Oct 2025

I took my chihuahua here and was very happy with the care. The staff took time to explain medication regimens and best practices to keep my dog in a healthy weight, good health, and good oral care. They were transparent and helped us improve our home routine in order to avoid unnecessary teeth cleanings by keeping his teeth tartar free on our own. I love going here and it reminded me of my favorite vet clinic from my home town. I would definitely recommend it to others. Cost is very reasonable and they are forward any additional costs before doing testing.

We LOVE the Gentle Heart Pet Clinic. Dr Mary is very kind and compassionate. She answers all of our questions, and listens to our concerns. She is quick to educate us on how to better care for our dog. The whole staff at this clinic is just so wonderful. I look forward to continuing have Dr Mary as out veterinarian.

★★★★★ 5.0 Amber Marie Winterhalter · May 2024

I appreciate the system that allows us to wait in the car until it is time to go in. It really helps keeps the anxiety of my dog down. He is much calmer when going in. The vet is very friendly and respects my dog without providing unnecessary intimidation. She is honest about what is needed to help keep us informed and educated on recommendations for small dogs. After advising commercial tick prevention over the Lyme disease vaccine, I did more research and was so grateful for her advice. She knew what she was talking about!

I have been taking my animals to Dr. Ebert for over twenty five years. She is an awesome, no nonsense vet. Always accommodating, and very caring. Even when called in the middle of the night! the staff are all great, and the office cats are also really great. I trust her with all of my animals, and know they will get great care with her and her staff!

★★★★★ 5.0 Gwendolyn McDonald · Jan 2022

Dr. Ebert and her staff couldn’t be more caring. The first time we visited, we had just moved to town and were apprehensive about getting to know a new vet. That feeling quickly dissipated! They were able to get her in very quickly and Dr. Ebert then spent at least a half hour pulling ticks from our pup (we had no clue ticks could be that bad in late fall!). Our second visit was just as good as the first! Excellent veterinary care, customer service, and attention to Covid precautions!
