Betty Baugh Harrison has taken care of the cats I've had over many years. She is very knowledgeable, has that vet's sense of what is wrong and is compassionate.

Dr. Morgan is wonderful! I have been taking my dog Harper to her for the past 5 years-since she was just 8 weeks old! Dr. Morgan is always so helpful, thorough and kind. Thank y'all!!

Christine E

Dr. Fulton and the assistants there are very passionate and took great care of Paddy Cakes during a sad time for her (and us). They made a not so great time to be there a lot more manageable by caring and being accommodating.
