What our clients say about us

I recently visited Dr. Gerard's office after I found one of our neighborhood cats was sick. He and Lois are amazing. He was knowledgeable, empathetic, and helped me put together a plan to get this sweet cat healthy. Lois helped facilitate the whole process and even called at 8pm one night to check in after we had another cat neutered. What an amazing team! We will definitely be staying with this outstanding practice. Thank you!
