★★★★★ 5.0 Jim Gillespie · Nov 2025

Easily the best vet I have ever seen (and one of the best doctors period that I've ever seen). Dr. Clemmons is also one of the kindest men I have ever met. He explained my dog's condition thoroughly, he displayed genuine care for me and my dog, and he was forthright about everything (seriously: everything; this is an amazing trait in doctors of any sort). A neurological condition is quite scary, and Dr. Clemmons and his team calmed me down more than I thought was possible, and he moved me from a state of panic to one of zen. I cannot recommend Dr. Clemmons, his team, and this office more.

I've brought two of my cats here for the radio iodine therapy and I'm very happy with their service. I don't live in the area so they were very accommodating to my travel time and making everything work out well. They follow up and they made sure the entire experience was as simple and stress-free as possible both times. I am very grateful and would recommend this facility to anybody willing to drive and local.

Efficient. The vet techs are kind. The Vet was nice but was in a bit of a hurry.

I must express my serious frustration with your appointment policy. I attempted to schedule a neurology appointment for my dog, who is experiencing seizures and is already under the care of a primary veterinarian and on two medications. Instead of being able to directly book the appointment, I was told I cannot proceed without a referral from my vet. This requirement is not only unnecessary—it is absurd. You are not a human medical clinic working with insurance companies. This is a veterinary neurology office. My dog is seizing, he is medicated, and he needs specialized care. To impose a bureaucratic barrier under the guise of “doctor’s policy,” as though this were the Mayo Clinic treating humans, is both tone-deaf and insulting. If I did not already have a primary veterinarian, your polic

They really care about your pet. The doctor took the time to explain what was going on with our fur baby. So glad we came here for treatment of our puppy.
