Veterinarians in Independence

“Went to IAH to have an ultrasound on my fur baby after her appointment at my regular vet had some unsettling results. Dr. Bolton was so incredibly kind and understanding. Even knowing that the results and further treatment would be done at my regular vet. There was not a single bit of 'we can do it better' attitude. The ultrasound showed us what we definitely did not want to see. Dr. Bolton gave us hugs and reminded us that what is most important is that our Taffy is comfortable. I recently moved back to the Coffeyville area after living in Tulsa for 25 years, and was utterly shocked at the price. I was expecting to pay several hundred dollars for the visit, even close to a thousand dollars, when I was shown the bill, I figured they were expecting me to make monthly payments. Nope, it was the total. WOW! I spoke to my nephew later about how wonderful they were, he had a very similar experience. I wholeheartedly recommend them.“

“I’m really grateful that independence has this place. Dr. Cooper is very professional with our animals and is patient with me, as I usually have a lot of questions. They called to check up on one of our cats, and that meant a lot to me. They also fit me in on a day when I was especially concerned about one of my kitties, even though they were booked for that day already.
I have even brought in a chicken and Dr. Cooper helped her and was reasonable about the price for it.
Some people think vets are too expensive, but I’m not sure most folks appreciate or know just how hard it is to become a veterinarian. Almost of decade of expensive education, plus the intelligence and discipline/fortitude are just the beginning; you must also be able to deal with high stress situations and super emotional people/animals. I’m glad our town has a vet that can handle us and is committed to Independence.“
