Have always gotten good service from them and the staff is friendly with my pet. Things are wonderful when I’m able to get an appointment, but they’re not great on operating on other people’s schedules even with respectable notice in advance.
Had a time-sensitive need for an updated digital copy of my pets records and called them to inform them such. They told me it would be 24-48 hours for it to be sent to my email. 72 hours later I did not have it, and I tried to call but they’re closed for a Friday holiday before a weekend… during which they’re also closed. I needed the records

Excellent veterinary care. Dr. Marotta is absolutely amazing! He genuinely cares and is always so thorough when answering any of our questions or concerns. It is crucial for us to have a doctor we can trust and work with closely. We have a 16 year old doggie that requires quite a bit of attention and Dr. Marotta is always so kind and patient with our girl. We are so incredibly grateful to have Dr. Marotta as our vet.

Incredibly professional, compassionate and advanced in their knowledge on advancements in veterinary care. I switched to them after being disappointed with three different vets, mostly because of how select clinics belittle pet owners. Yes they are pricey but they try their best not to have you do unnecessary testing, etc. unless warranted. The support staff really makes this place run and the vets are not shy about calling you in the evening, whenever they have their first chance to call. The vet techs get to know your animals well and love them as much as you do. They are also an incredibly bright

Incredibly impressed with Countryside Vet! Went here for a second opinion on my 8 year old cat and ALL of the staff were so kind and caring. But the cherry on top was to get a call from one of the doctors late after hours on a Friday to go over the bloodwork results from the visit the day before! They truly care about you and your pet. I wouldn't have minded waiting until Monday to get the results, but for them to call and go over in detail everything means a lot and to ease my mind before a weekend.

Thank you to Dr Santee and the staff at Country side!! They have been super helpful with my anxious dog Buddy and my cat Andy! Through the co vid craziness they answer my emails same day or early am the next day. Dr Santee has been awesome and super supportive calling me back. I highly recommend this vet practice!!
