Review content:
I'll start by admitting that I am biased, as Dr. Carmichael is related to a good friend. That being said, he is the best vet I have ever used. My husband and I had a vet within walking distance of our home, but he was always brusque and seemed to try to ""sell"" too much. When one of my dogs began limping, he told us that she needed knee surgery; she was only a year old at the time. The surgery was over $3000, not to mention the toll it would surely take on my young pup. I wanted a second opinion and took her to Dr. Carmichael. He determined that the other vet was correct in his diagnosis--her kneecap was slipping out of joint (common in older labbies)--but wanted to try a joint supplement versus invasive and expensive surgery on such a young dog. Since starting the supplements, her kneecap has not popped out of the joint once! She's completely normal for her age. I immediately changed vets and now take both my labbies and our cat to Dr. Carmichael. I have to drive quite a bit farther, but it's worth it to know that my animals' best interests drive the practice. In addition to that incident, last summer my other labbie experienced an allergic reaction on a Sunday. When I called the office for a referral to an emergency vet clinic, I discovered that one of the vets in the practice is always ""on call"" and Dr. Carmichael happened to be the vet that called me back. Not only did he return my call within 5 minutes, but he knew my pet's exact weight from memory and advised me of the proper Benadryl dosage. I was considerably calmer after speaking with him because I was confident that he knew everything about my animal and knew what to do to make him better. Dr. Carmichael is fantastic and truly cares for his patients. I will always take my ""babies"" to his office. I've read other reviews that the front desk staff is curt or rude; I have never experienced this. They are extremely busy and sometimes the wait can be longer than I would like when I have 2 70+ pound dogs and a miserable kitty in a crate, but they give me a multi-pet discount because ""I'm brave enough to bring them in all at once."" :) I love this practice!
Pros: Caring and knowledgable vets
Cons: Sometimes there's a wait.
