My first experience with The Hometown Veterinarian came when my longtime Veteriary practice had no appts other than an ER visit. When I called the Hometown Veterinarian they offered me an appt the next day and would work my sweet boy in as they could. After his care, I transferred both of my elderly dogs to their care and have been very pleased with their compassionate service since then.

Warning: This is a long, well worth review.
Our baby girl, Nova had an injury being her spunky high energy self and tore one of her CCLs. When we took her to our local vet, it was confirmed and we were informed there was a 80% chance she would injury her other one. In the meantime we scheduled with an orthopedic surgeon an hour from us (this was the closest to us). That weekend, she did indeed end up tearing the other one. When we met with the orthopedic surgeon, she seemed distant and not compassionate at all. When I would ask questions, she seemed threatened as if I shouldn’t be questioning things. When we left the appointment my husband spoke up and said let’s find a different surgeon. Bless his heart, we weren’t even out of the parking lot and he was searching. He came across Dr. Jacobson at The Hometown Vet. Of course we did our research since we knew what she needed. I called The Hometown Vet, and was welcomed by a pleasant receptionists that connected me with Dr. Jacobson himself due to my specific questions. He was genuine on the phone and so willing to go out of his way. We were able to get Nova in, in a decent amount of time for her surgery. When we arrived, we were welcomed by very friendly staff and the facility was very clean. Dr. Jacobson entered our room with a very friendly welcome and was very compassionate about Nova’s situation.
Pick up day: Today, we picked Nova up from surgery. Once again, all staff (staff I hadn’t met yet) were all so friendly and welcoming. We had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Franken to go over our discharge for Nova. She was also very friendly, compassionate, and thorough. We definitely wish we lived closer, The Hometown Vet would become our primary care. For anyone near and far, this was by far our best vet experience ever, and we have 6 dogs if that tells you anything:)

I’ve recently taken 3 out of my 4 furbabies to The Hometown Veterinarian. We’ve had routine wellness exams with vaccines as well as a couple surgeries. Most recently we visited for illness. I can’t say enough good things about this clinic. EVERYONE is pleasant, friendly, helpful, very gentle with the animals, and knowledgeable!! I totally recommend!!
Thank you for your kindness and taking such good care of my babies 🥰
