I found these Vets through recommendations of friends after we lost a 6 month old Pug after surgery at another Vet Practice in the East York area. This practice is further from my home but well worth it.\r
I can't say enough good about this place. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the Vets are very competent and caring. They take the time to go over your pets case and will give you options on degrees of care you can afford and are comfortable with. \r

I have never encountered a rude Vet and I haven't noticed any of them treating my husband any differently. I think someone could interpret Dr. Ricklis as being rude, she just has a feisty personality. We have found her to be very kind and caring. She makes sure that that practice is run competently and caringly.\r
My dog Jia Li went in for what I thought was a urinary tract infection (she was marking all over the house) Dr. Pettigrew discovered a tumor. I was sent to a VCA hospital immediately. Jia had surgery and was not expected to survive past a few months. That was 3 years ago. She is now a healthy 7 year old dog. I think that was possible because Dr. Pettigrew and Dr. Ricklis acted swiftly, referring her to a cancer specialist.\r

Dr. Cheek recently peformed minor surgery on Jia Li to remove 2 benign growths and clean her teeth. After having lost a Pug to anesthesia I get a bit nervous when my dogs need to be put under. Dr. Cheek was very supportive and caring. She was never heavy handed about getting her teeth cleaned, she just equiped me with the information I needed to make that choice. \r
It's a great place and you will feel confident that your pet is in good hands.
Pros: Excellent care, friendly, knowledgeable Vets, Friendly staff
