The atmosphere at PO vet is calming and competent. I have used their services for many years, through several dogs. My old farm cat, who has only been to the vet once when she was a couple months old, got in a fight the other day. I thought she would battle against any veterinary intervention, but was surprised because the whole assessment and treatment went really well. She made it in and out with no trouble and is well on her way back to full health. She's an important part of my life and I'm really happy with how well the visit went.

The entire staff was concerned about my dog and his care. I met with the surgeon and her assistant after his surgery.They made sure all my questions were answered and followed up the next morning with a phone call checking on his status. I also appreciated that not being part of a national franchise the cost was half the price of other clinics. Thank you.
