We've been taking our dogs to the Drake Center for over 10 years. We love them. They have helped us find the specialists we need to care for some of our dogs more extreme issues. Very clean and welcoming facility. Warm staff who are very timely and they have weekend hours. They are on the expensive end but we find they are worth it and provide outstanding care to our pups.
The Drake Center is AWESOME! The entire team is amazing and we always have positive experiences. A special shout out to Dr. Hamilton; amazing doctor and person! Thank you all! The Farmers
Every vet at the Drake Center that we have had treat our two dogs and one cat has been excellent. The dogs love them and are happy to see them - first clue they really are dog people. The vet will often sit right on the floor with the dog so it doesn't feel overwhelmed by a stranger hovering over them. They ask lots of questions because they know the owner is with the dog (or cat) all the time and can be an insightful partner is honing down the problem. There are obvious health issues any vet will be able to quickly identify... read more
The BEST vet around. Been coming to the Drake Center for almost 20 yrs and will never leave. They genuinely care about our pets and always give the very best care. They are an extension of our family.
I have been a client here for 14 years. Obviously I'm very happy with the care my beloved dogs receive. Everyone here is a pleasure to interact with; from the front desk to all of the vets. Two of the saddest events of my life took place here, losing beloved dogs, & on both occasions Dr Hamlet had the misfortune of being the vet to end my dog's suffering. Her empathy, professionalism & loving care of my dogs on those horrible days made me feel that someone understood just how devastating a moment it was & I very much appreci... read more
Never coming back. While the vet I saw was very nice, the vet tech and receptionists were very snippy and condescending. One questioned the breeding of my dog (I didn't get him from a box of puppies at Walmart!), another had rude remarks about the organization I'm volunteering with. Then when I inquired about a discount I heard they might offer, the vet tech started talking very slowly to me, went over the entire bill to be sure I could afford it before service would be provided and then asked whether I needed pet insurance ... read more
We just moved to the area and was recommended this vet by a new neighbor (that is a ER vet). Made an appointment and was seen straight away. They helped my little friend with his discomfort and was making sure that he was doing well with a follow up call a few days later. The staff was very professional and friendly from the moment they picked up the phone.
Really great experience. Got there and they took us and our cat straight to an exam room which doubles up as your waiting room. It was cat only and they had feliway wall plugs so our cat stayed calm. Doctor was very thorough in her explanations and works to keep expenses to a minimum. She self described herself as a minimalist, avoiding unnecessary testing. She showed us how to cut our cats nails, take her temperature, and administer the antibiotics for her upper respiratory infection. After the appointment, they print and e... read more
I know Leon might not show his appreciation! But I want to let the drake center know how appreciative I am that they take the time to make my kitty feel comfortable in a veterinarian setting. His high anxiety and high stress makes it hard to bring him anywhere else. But the drake center was willing to take the time to work with him!
