We have been coming here for years to see Dr. Boehme. She is just amazing. We call her the "cat whisperer" although I'm sure she's wonderful with other animals, too. She truly listens to the "owners" as well as the pets. When our previous cat was near the end of her time, she never pressured us to do procedures or tests that we felt were not needed. Now our new little guy just *loves* going there. How many cats feel that way about a vet!!

I've been using Drake since 2004 for all my dogs. They've always been very accommodating in scheduling convenient appointments. I get printouts of plans of treatments and can choose what I can afford at the time. They are very good at helping with payment plans if needed. When I've had to put my dogs down they're were really there to support me. All the staff is amazing. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Had to put our 13 year old lab down about 3 weeks ago. The staff at Drake was so wonderful about the entire process. We since got a puppy and took her to Drake for her first vet visit. They were excited about our new puppy but still sympathetic about our recent loss. Drake is worth the extra cost. Even gave us a puppy care package to bring home. Thanks Drake for caring.

The front desk staff was very helpful in fitting us into the schedule on short notice. The vet assistant was kind and knowledgeable and asked all the right questions to help the vet give a diagnosis. Dr. Shotwell was very sweet with my fur baby and explained the different types of allergies she could be suffering from. When her examination was over and a determination was made she prescribed an allergy medication but also explained how it worked and carefully explained the dosage. The vet expressed a real interest in followi... read more

We just left the Drake Center for Veterinary Care with our 14 week old puppy! The staff was so welcoming and loved on our pup. We are so thankful to have found a place that loves her like we do and will take good care of her over the years!!! I would recommend this vet to anyone with a pet!

I just experienced the worst experience in my life. I stopped at the Drake Center to pick up my daughter' cat and was never treated so rudely, ever. I was made to wait 45 minutes as evidenced by my credit card receipt. When they finally brought the cat out in his carrier the kennel tech literally threw it at me and was extremely rude to me with a lobby full of people. Very very unprofessional and embarrassing. The poor cat is now traumatized and will not eat. We have spent thousands of dollars over the years at the Drake Cen... read more

This place seems to do it all, and they definitely like to push those services on you for "the well being of your pet". It is so stinking pricey! I haven't left an annual exam paying under $500. And my dog is healthy, just a sore joint! The joint soreness led them to recommend an X-ray, and they also suggested removing a dead tooth, estimate came to $1,300. I took this estimate to other vets and they on average came in 30% lower. If you don't mind paying inflated prices, than this place has the convenience of being a one sto... read more

BUYER BEWARE! I have had many vets push to do testing, etc but this place will try to drain you for every penny they can get out of you with unnecessary tests or methods that keep you coming back for multiple visits when there are options that could do it in one. I reviewed their treading plans with my friends that are vets in the east coast and they thought I was getting raked over the coals.

From the office staff to the vet tech to the vets, these people really love and care about animals. The place is spotless and smells good. They are professional yet very tender with the animals , treating your pet as theirs. So glad I found this place!
