Reviews
I recommend Animal Place. They are very professional and I trust their judgment completely,

DR Gardsbane treated my cat for pain (pain meds)w/o my approval, she took him to the back room then charged me for treatment w/o prior approval. DIshonest, unprofessional! The meds she administered to my cats w/o my permission affected him: he was more unhappy, and worse after the appt. I found a cost effective solution to treat my cat with another caring person who values customers, and provides cost effective solution in the most honest and caring way!

I brought my cat in to the Animal Place when I had first moved in to the area. I originally chose the Animal Place just due to proximity, but I very much lucked out, as the staff couldn't have been more professional, knowledgeable and caring. They made everything go more smoothly than any other vet we've had, and there have been a lot. I'd highly recommend the Animal Place for anyone who needs vet services.

I have received nothing but great care from the doctors and all of the office staff. I myself had gotten a dog that had kennel cough and he was just a sick puppy when I got him. Animal Place put the PEP back in my PUP. I have also had to have one of my dogs put to sleep and my 10 year old daughter wanted to be there. All the staff was more the compassionate and caring and took extra steps to ensure my daughter understood the process and was ok during it. I couldn't be happier with Animal Place.

I have been taking my cats to see Dr. Gardsbane for at least 10 years, and have always been treated with courtesy and respect, and my cats have always been treated compassionately and thoroughly. When my cat, Samson, passed away after 19 years at home, they were so caring and compassionate. Dr. Gardsbane hugged me when I brought his body in the next day to have him privately cremated. They sent a very nice card out to me a few days later. I have never experienced anything remotely negative with their practice and I love my cats like they were my own children.

Not only that, the front desk staff was outstanding. I had a genuine, moving conversation with a woman who has worked there for many years. I am grateful for everyone there and the good work they do. Really, today turned out to be one of the best days because I met three wonderful, caring people. And the prices were fair, too.

My first visit was pleasant. The receptionist are a little overwhelming but that's OK. They just want me to feel welcomed. The nurse greets you and your pet with a smile while going over small details about your visit. I received an estimated cost which was nice. I soon saw Dr. Davis who I heard is new to the practice and she was great. She covered all the things I needed to hear about my new pet ,without feeling overwhelmed with information. Their are a lot of things to do to keep your pet healthy and safe. I feel as though the ANIMAL PLACE helped me realize that these things are important to my pets. So I can proudly say I love this place.. they take the time to get to know your pet and there needs.

Dr. G is always happy to research something for me on her own time, and will often call me and talk with me at length on the phone for no additional charge. I've always found them judicious with how they charge office fees as well. Additionally, the practice offers a few things that many vets don't - Dr. G is a certified acupuncturist and is educated about chinese medicine, including supplements. They also offer cold laser therapy, which has been really useful for one of my dogs for everything from a wound he got hiking to muscle strains.

I have been going to see Dr. Gardsbane at Animal Place for around 8 years and absolutely adore her. Dr. Gardsbane has a calm, quiet demeanor that has always gone over well with my pets, including my very fearful greyhound. She's always gentle with her handling and the staff is as accommodating as they can be with my requests to make exams and treatments minimally stressful.
