Dr. Steve is the best! Very thorough, gentle and kind. Having the vet come to your home saves so much trauma for you and your pet. Marcel gave a four paws up for Dr. Steve's visit.
Used this vet for basic vaccination boosters some time ago because of the convenience of a home visit. It was a 8ish minute appointment that cost $395. Vaccines are cheap, but to be fair, I didn't confirm cost in advance. That said, it sure would've been more professional if price had been provided from the outset when it was going to be that high. Again prioritizing potential convenience, I reached out recently to see about getting a Pet Export certificate to take my dog overseas, which a vet has to provide. He ignored the questions I asked regarding price (twice). He then claimed a rabies booster was needed, and would require a 21 day waiting period post-shot and before travel. This was counter to what the U.S. Embassy website said in the destination country, so I shared the link pointing to that information, and asked him to share where he got the info that led him to believe it was 21 days no matter what. His response was, and I quote, "if you don't believe me, you should find another vet" lol. So yeah, problems with ego, with misogyny, and apparently with citing basic sources to back up what he presents as professional claims. Highly suggest you steer clear if you don't want to deal with white masc ignorance/abuse + evident misinformation....and then also get vastly overcharged.
I'm very grateful for this service. He's an incredible vet and I would use him for other services, like check-ups and vaccines, too. He's the perfect doctor for people with pets who get very nervous going to the vet. And I can not say enough about how happy I am that we got to put our cat to sleep at home instead of in such a clinical environment.
We will always be thankful for Dr Smith's care of our previous cat, Puck. And, recently we had to make that request every animal lover dreads. Our cat, Fast Eddie, was losing the battle against lymphoma. With the help of Dr Smith, his last moments in this part of his journey, were peaceful and beautiful. Thank you for being there Dr Smith. We are forever grateful.
It’s hard to find a perfect vet but to me it is this doctor, because he truly cares about the animals and he is so kind and informative. I’m so grateful for him, and I’m writing this review in hopes that others find him too.
I got used to veterinarians being rushed and mean and pushing hundreds of dollars of unnecessary tests at us, but this guy was the opposite. He stayed and answered all my questions. He gave me options and information. The prescribed what I chose to do for my dog. Best vet we have ever had (and I've had a lot). Thank you. 100% recommended.
