We've been bringing our pets to Powder Ridge Veterinary Hospital for years and have been extremely…read morehappy with the care from Dr. Blaire Michael and her staff. They are compassionate, knowledgeable, efficient, and very reasonably priced. One of our rescue dogs, Fiona, was extremely fearful when we first brought her in and needed to be muzzled for visits. Thanks to the patience and kindness of Dr. Michael and the staff, she now happily walks into the office and no longer needs a muzzle. That alone says so much about how they treat animals. Dr. Michael has helped Fiona through both a rare autoimmune condition and aggressive oral cancer with incredible skill and compassion. We ultimately chose her for Fiona's revision surgery because of the trust we have in her, how comfortable Fiona is with the office and staff, and the much more reasonable pricing compared to the specialty hospital. The surgical results were amazing -- you can barely tell anything was ever done. We trust Powder Ridge completely with our dogs and cat and highly recommend them.

Hello all, just following up on Freckles, who unfortunately had the owner of Powder Ridge Vet…read morehandling my dog in the worst way possible. Basically brought Freckles an 8 year old 2 month rescue dog from Oklahoma. By far, over 55 years, best dog I have ever had. Freckles even had a minor surgery with Dr Albin a few year back. He was great. Had to drug my dog up with 3 meds, upon arrival Freckles was laying on floor of large room placed into. Corrine new of my dog, she was awesome as always, showed compassion. The tech and Dr Micheals, owner and vet came in a disaster took place. Tried placing a muzzle on Freckles, a no no, dog has never been in muzzle for anything. Then tried to surgical collars, one the size for a horse. With Freckles under sedatives, Freckles had nothing to do with all there methods to get 4 shots. I waved the blood test for heartguard. My dog was so stressed, never seen him act this way, and still did not growl or snap, which they lied and said he did. I was there 100 percent of the visit. Well next morning, 330 am, Freckles was paralyzed not only from the medicine directed on the bottle , but could not walk 100%, had no idea what was going on, was having a mental and orthopedic event. Bottom line, rushed him to Pieper Olson, Dr Roy in ER room got Freckles to walk and took blood to check for anything including tick born issues. Said Freckles was one of the easiest dogs ever to secure blood from right rear leg. My cost was $600, absolutely well spent money. Powder Ridge Vet has completely changed for the absolute worst. Even the folks working the front desk seem so stressed, no one smiles. There was a paper jam in the printer, two people kept going back and forth about this, too much paper, not enough paper, one had to win the conversation. Kudos to a young doctor at Pieper DR ROY. Terrific ER doctor and did not prescribe any drugs for Freckles. I never experienced such brutal handling of my dog. I have read many reviews now and have noticed many are going one star. Just wanted folks to understand. Feel free to call me at 860 227 7425 if you would like to discuss true facts, nothing more what took place.

Dr. Kimm and his associates are the perfect combination of compassion, humor and honesty. When one of our senior dogs was having issues, Dr. Kimm let us know the truth rather than string us along with false hope. We have brought 5 dogs and 5 cats to RMAH and have never felt pressured to have procedures or tests done. As others have metioned, sometimes you have to wait a bit to see one of the doctors, but it is only because they give each patient the attention they deserve. Yes, the ofice is on the older side, but it is clean and I'd rather my vet have an older ofice and provide quality care at reasonable prices than having a modern office where you are rushed through on a conveyor belt and charged exorbitant prices. Thank you Dr. Kimm, for having a huge heart and putting the animals first.
