I would like to provide a glowing report of the Drake Center. In the 5 years that I have been taking my 2 senior cats there, I have interacted with 1/2 of the vets in this practice, many of the techs and all of the front-desk staff.

I have been here once for an emergency visit (puppy stung by a bee and swelled up w/hives = 1st anaphylactic shock). We called ahead and they met us at the door as it was a pretty serious situation at the time. The techs, vets and front desk staff were all really great. They didn't push any meds that we didn't need but they were a bit pricey but I think most 'city' vets are. updated 3/2013 I've likely met nearly every vet in this office due to emergency visits as my dog has a fatal Bee allergy and goes into severe anaphylact... read more

My 12 year old dog and were seen here by vet . Aaron Lamoree, DVM. He did an exam that left my dog so lame that she could not get up the next day. He recommended sedation and x-rays to determine if she has arthritis. He could not diagnosis her nor treat her without blood test with repeat every 6 months. His Rx J/D diet. I feel he did an abusive exam and the only concern was to inflate the bill. Please do not take any animal you care about to this vet.
