Dr. Tiglio is hands-down the most knowledgeable and trustworthy vet! She’s prompt, efficient but thorough with her exams & recommends what your pet needs without the excess. Thank you for always taking such great care of Sam.
My companion of 18 years was carried across the bridge on 8/8/2024 at 18 Dr VanWorth, Dr Kovac, and Dr Leslie had done their best in making clinical assessments on Coco at the time but for nearly 3 years in Heart disease MMVD stage B2 with severe regurgitation, Coco was always on borrowed time. On her last day X-rays showed her entire cavity filled with fluid and that was time. Coco refused to go down without a fight - her will to be loved and to live was strong but her ailing condition was inevitable Thanks for your care and the many times you work so hard to support slotting me in, even answering my calls before the office day started Bless all of you and families
I love the Drake Center. They can get my dog in quickly if I need them to. They are great at communicating and I think they are very fair in what they charge. I have gone to a vet in the past that did unnecessary tests and I felt like I Paid so much more than I had to but at the Drake Center, they are upfront and extremely reasonable. My dog loves both of the vets that she has seen there.
