These people are Terrible with a capital T. I can't believe the way my cat and I were treated. In order to get my cat on the table, the vet tech threw a blanket over her and then picked her up with her forearms to keep the blanket over her head. What? This is a domestic housecat! Then, needless to say, my cat was both startled and scared, so the vet decided the best thing to do was to put a face mask on her! I have had this cat for 10 years and never in all of our visits to the vet, has she ever needed a blanket, let alone a face mask. When I went to help, the vet cautioned me (in a particularly scolding tone) to step away, lest I end up in the hospital. What?? You would have thought that I had brought in a wild boar. Additionally, after that whole ordeal was over and I paid the exorbitant bill, without a please, thank you, or go to hell from the cashier, I received a voicemail message letting me know that the cat is dying and, three days later have still not heard back (after calling and once again speaking with the curt cashier) from a doctor. I can't believe that people who make a living working with animals could treat anyone or anything the way we were.
Pros: able to get a same day appointment
Cons: terrible treatment, girl at the counter looks likes she is ready to bust her brains out

Dr Bohn is a caring vet. She and her staff handled my frightened cat gently while providing a complete health screen. Dr Bohn did a complete blood check up then I left my cat there to have her teeth cleaned the next day. I was pleased with the accuracy of the times to drop off and pick up as well as the instructions that followed. This was not sheap but I love my cat. I did learn something in the process, I am slightly allergic to the solution used to clean my cat's teeth. My cat has a habit of licking my forearm when I pet her. The next day I had a red rash. It went away after two days a little anti ich/rash cream and it was gone.
Pros: through, clean, respectful
Cons: expensive, can get crowded
