Steven R. Shrum, DVM: Holly Tree Animal Hospital

Dr Shrum is always so great with our pets! We have been going to Holly Tree for about 10 years. I really appreciate how kind they are to my animals. We took our sick pup in yesterday and Dr Shrum knew exactly what she needed. She is doing great today!

I grew up with our family pets going to Dr. Shrum and now that I'm an adult with fur babies of my own, I'm continuing with Dr. Shrum. I tried out a few vets closer to me and no one remotely compared to the compassion, quality and trust that Holly Tree offers. Both to the pets and their parents! A bonus: their prices are extremely fair and every receipt breaks down the exact charges, leaving you with perfect clarity. Couldn't love them more!

We just moved down 3 months ago and I will tell you trying to find a trustworthy vet for me was very difficult. And then I called Holly Tree animal hospital and spoke to Jason who's the office manager if I'm not mistaken. He was very kind very considerate answered all my questions. Gave me quotes on the things I was asking about the pricing was very fair so I did bring my best friend in who happens to be also my service dog. He is also getting up there in years meaning 13 years old. When I went there I met Dr. Pate I was so very very impressed with Dr. Pate he spent a lot of time with us extremely kind extremely considerate extremely thorough. And the most important thing he has a very very strong moral character. We did discuss that my shepherd was older and I knew that he already had problems. Well I'm sorry to say a little over a week ago my best friend had a major stroke. And this was very early in the morning and I knew they opened up at 8:00 a.m. so I had one of my neighbors help me get him into the car we kept him warm and when I arrived I explained to Jason what was going on he told me Dr. Pate was off that day but would see what he could and brought a gurney out to help us bring my best friend into one of the medical rooms. They were all so so very kind and helpful to my wife and I this was such a hard thing for us. About 40 minutes later Dr. Pate arrived personally and worked with us unfortunately I had to put my best friend to sleep the hardest thing one can do. I cannot explain or express my gratitude to all that were involved especially to Dr. Pate and Jason. But it's not fair for me not to express my gratitude to all the people in the office they are all such kind caring considerate people. I know I will probably be getting another service dog and of course this will be my hospital that I will go to and Dr. Pate will be my veterinarian. If I could give this place 10 Stars I would give it in a heartbeat. This was a very stressful time for us and they made it as easy as possible for the unacceptable I say unacceptable it's always to me unacceptable to lose one's best friend especially when he was involved in saving my life several times. I also know if just for today let me accept the unacceptable. With their help it made it a lot easier and all I can say is thank you to all and Holly Tree Animal Hospital
