See All Our Specialists"I brought my dog, Bailey, in after being attacked by another dog. From the moment I walked in to the moment I picked him up, the staff couldn't have been nicer. The two ladies at the front desk Angel and Michelle (?), the vet technicians, Mary and Nate, and Dr. Hermosa. Everybody was so kind, caring and professional. Dr. Hermosa got him all stitched up and I am pleased to say he is doing very well and getting back to being his normal silly self! Couldn't have asked for a better experience in a very upsetting situation."
