They failed to properly diagnose my dog and he died 2 weeks later when I brought him somewhere else for a second opinion. Should have learned then. Went again this year and they wanted 1400 to clean a cats teeth - outrageous. Besides treating you and your pet like the covid virus is gonna jump through the car window. Get a grip. Happily going elsewhere for vet care now.

This is the first local vet that cared for my puppy so it was logical to keep bringing her to DRAH. I'm glad I did! They've all been great in every way.

Worse place to go to if you have a large breed dog. Don’t know how to handle big dogs. The vet herself not very personable and is very snotty. My first impression of her was the last one. Would never bring my dogs back to her. Very rude and judge mental. Not very comforting or cannot ask one question without being reprimanded.
