Dr. Sonya Dacus is absolutely amazing! I took my fur-baby in thinking that she hurt her paw, instead Dr. Dacus quickly recognized that she has having a hard time with her back limbs as well (that I thought was due to her not wanting to put pressure on her front limbs). She immediately wanted to test her for Lyme disease, even though the test came back negative she wanted treated her for it. Two days later, my girl is up and playing, eating and drinking! This isn’t the first time we have seen Dr. Dacus in the office, she cared for my elderly dog a few years ago and went above and beyond to care for her in the “hospice” stage of her life.

The Dr's are great. They have great bedside manners. They have very nice nurses that will make you feel comfortable with your visit. They all treat your fur babies with love and affection.
My poor baby was seen multiple times from August 9th-26th as a walk in. Dr. Dacus was our final visit and she took such good care of him he finally showed improvement within 24 hours finally after almost 3 weeks of him being miserable. We have used this vet for all of our needs since moving here in 2021. While you may wait a long time, they are worth the wait!
