When we walked in it had all the indicators of a good roadside diner. There were lots of local people who seemed to know one another and the counter staff knew many by name. The burgers and strawberry shortcake came highly recommended. The burgers did not jump out of the menu so I asked and received an enthusiastic response so I ordered a double cheese. We took a seat in the well-worn but clean dining room. It was nearly 100°F outside with humidity in the 80s. The A/C was giving its all and the room was comfortable. Some of the humidity was condensing at the HVAC vents so there were a few drops here and there. Lunch arrived and somehow my double cheese was thinner than the fish sandwich. Upon inspection, it was a hamburger, single, no cheese. I took it back to the counter and they immediately made me another. Back at the table it was again a single. Back to the counter for another patty and some cheese. I checked right out of the kitchen and it was now a single cheeseburger. They turned around and added a patty. Now I had a double burger with a single cheese. It tasted great and another slice of cheese would have been perfect. I still haven't decided who had the off day, the burger guy or me. I dropped a star each time I had to do the "walk" to the counter. All the locals watched both times intently. I do recommend the burger. The staff was wonderful and helpful and worked through. And get the strawberry shortcake. It is delightful. Tip If the burger comes out wrong check the replacement at the counter.

Over the last few months, my dog had several infections from the original surgery, and my vet determined that his body was rejecting the implanted plate. We tried several rounds of antibiotics to no avail. I finally arranged for Dr. Fields to see him to evaluate him and remove the plate and screws. Today, I dropped him off for this surgery, and it was truly a day filled with concern for my dog and compassion and graciously generosity for the work they did, how the kept me updated throughout the day, and just overall how they treated me and my pup. I am forever grateful. I know there were some new people, but the staff that worked with me previously came out to greet me and welcome me, and they were INCREDIBLE. One came out to share how her dog had gone through the same and gave me tremendous hope that my boy will be running again in a few weeks without the pain he's struggled with for months. I hope I don't need their surgery services again, but if I do, and am confident I will feel good about returning.

The next visit (a different provider delivered the service), the cut was terrible. Our pup's body fur was cut so short while her head had long hair. She looked terrible! It was nothing like the picture we gave as an example. We were home the entire time if any issues/concerns came up. We brush her regularly so matting was not an issue. We complained after the service and they offered to return within 3 days to 'fix it.' We declined because nothing could have been done. I would never recommend this service. I likely wouldn't even go if it was 'free.' Each groomer was kind to me as a customer.

After costing me a litter of 6 beautiful full term babies ( which were so overdosed on gas , they never had a fighting chance to wake up ) and then the cost of the emergency vet bill, this practice lost me $21000 !!!!

Working here was one of the most toxic experiences I've had. The practice manager and owner created…read morean environment where employees felt undervalued, overworked, and manipulated. In my experience, there was a strong focus on the financial side of the business while employee well-being and morale seemed to be an afterthought. One of the most concerning aspects was the lack of professionalism. I frequently witnessed and endured management speaking negatively about employees to other employees, as well as showing confidential information on her computer, cell phone, and in person. which created an atmosphere of distrust and anxiety. Instead of fostering teamwork, it felt like people were constantly worried about becoming the next topic of conversation. The workload was excessive, expectations were unrealistic, and many employees were pushed to the point of burnout. During my time there, the practice lost nearly its entire staff within about a month. Rather than addressing the underlying issues, management appeared to simply "refresh" the staff with new hires. Unfortunately, I saw some of those new employees questioning whether they wanted to stay within their first week. Every workplace has challenges, but a high turnover rate and consistently low morale should be taken seriously. I hope leadership takes an honest look at the work environment and makes meaningful changes, because the employees and patients deserve better. The practice manager also frequently made demeaning and insulting comments about employees and former coworkers. I witnessed her ridicule a former doctor by mocking the way he excitedly flailed his arms after recognizing a mutual client his father knew. She then insinuated that his behavior meant he was autistic, using the term in a derogatory way. Regardless of the doctor's background or personality, mocking someone's mannerisms and using a developmental condition as the basis for a joke was unprofessional, disrespectful, and contributed to an unhealthy workplace culture. Another concern I had was the strong emphasis placed on recommending dental procedures. It often felt as though dentistry was viewed as the practice's primary source of revenue, and I frequently saw pet owners encouraged to schedule dental procedures that, in my opinion and based on what I observed, were not always clearly medically necessary. This created the impression that financial considerations were sometimes prioritized over individualized patient care, which made me uncomfortable as both an employee and an advocate for my patients.

AND...they are NOT accredited by the BBB after 42 years in business???? That says SO MUCH!! READ below... We boarded our 3 small dogs here in a private run for 5 nights (May 5-10, 2021) while we were out of town and picked this place because they had been groomed here once and it was close to our house. BIG MISTAKE. My husband dropped them off and I picked them up and it was my first time in the place. It reeked of urine the minute I walked in. I walked my dogs to the car after paying $359 and once inside I smelled the foul odor of days old urine. I took them straight to the bathtub once home and OH. MY. GOSH. The filth that came off them was unreal. I had to wash them each twice to get the horrible stench off. Their bottoms were crusted with poop and my 12 year old cocker had bright yellow diarrhea stains I had to scrub off. The small blanket I sent with my 12lb Shorkie that they shoved into a paper bag when I arrived was covered in urine and diarrhea to the point I had to throw it away. My cocker then had a $100 Vet bill because she had such awful diarrhea for days, which clearly was present at the kennel but they didn't bother to let me know. The Vet office said "yea, we see many dogs from there that end up sick". I felt so horrible for my poor babies. Then, my Shorkie came home vomiting and $290 later, the Vet said she had a bug from that nasty place PLUS terrible gastritis from the anxiety and stress of boarding her there. They have never ever had these issues when boarded at other places. My husband called to ask questions and tell them about our experience. They didn't care. I went to them in person and reiterated how filthy they were, their GI issues, and what the Vet office said. They played dumb. I asked to see the run they were in. AWFUL!! Row after row of long cement runs. They won't let you send their bed, but give them a paper thin cotton rug to lay on all day long on top of the cement. They let them pee and poop in the run, leaving them no choice but to walk and lay in it...their justification for this to me was that they "hose it down to sanitize every night". I asked what agency regulates them and they said "none". I suggested that's the problem...no regulation and they don't care enough to make the place decent for your pet. They claim they can house 250 dogs and are so proud of that. I challenged them on how they could possibly house that many dogs and the lady claimed "well, we have the room". I interjected that just because you can doesn't mean you should. You can't care well for that many dogs. When I asked if they have read the reviews online of their facility, they claimed the reviews are from "years ago" but also replied when I challenged them that nothing has changed with their business since then. It has taken a good week for my babies to start normalizing again. I feel so sad for them and should have read the other HORRIBLE reviews first. DO NOT use this place, please, and tell everyone you know in the area to RUN away or else your precious pets will suffer miserably.
