Not only is her office affordable, which takes off the worry of “can I afford this?” when my dogs get sick (I have only had blue noses, which are typically unhealthy little creatures), but she genuinely takes the time to address your concerns and deeply cares for her patients.

The staff is amazing and so is Dr. Vance. She takes such great care of our cats and her passion shows. She was able to fit me in when my cat had a bad eye infection and got him on meds right away.
