We absolutely love, Dr. Lexi and the staff at the Animal Hospital. We have had 3 labradors, from puppy stage to senior, and at every checkup (and unfortunately a full ACL tear), the staff has been so wonderful, caring and responsive. We couldn’t be happier and feel fortunate to have such an amazing veterinary team!

I always trust Dr. Becker and everyone at The Animal Hospital to provide the very best care to my dog. They always demonstrate the highest level of expertise, professionalism, understanding and kindness. No matter if my dog was being treated for routine visits or for serious issues, they managed his care with veterinary excellence and compassion for a little dog who has needed their help often. I can’t remember how many times, anxious and worried, I’ve carried my dog into The Animal Hospital, but always I had complete trust I’d brought him to the best place for him to be treated for his hurts and comforted through his discomfort. I run out of superlatives when it comes to The Animal Hospital. Dr. Becker and her staff are essential to me. They are truly exceptional, the very best.

Feels like a home; Both esthetically and from a service standpoint. They have limited weekend hours so you don't need to send your pet to one of the 24 hour ones. Everyone here loves pets! Staff is very friendly and helpful.

If I could give this vet and staff 1,000 stars, I would! They cared as much about our animals as we do. From the front desk to the doctors, everyone was amazing. Frankie loves going there.
