My companion of 18 years was carried across the bridge on 8/8/2024 at 18 Dr VanWorth, Dr Kovac, and Dr Leslie had done their best in making clinical assessments on Coco at the time but for nearly 3 years in Heart disease MMVD stage B2 with severe regurgitation, Coco was always on borrowed time. On her last day X-rays showed her entire cavity filled with fluid and that was time. Coco refused to go down without a fight - her will to be loved and to live was strong but her ailing condition was inevitable Thanks for your care an... read more

Business response:

It was an honor to be a part of her care and to support her through these challenging years.

Drake Center is AMAZING. My dog and myself especially LOVE Dr Hamlet! She has been instrumental in the health journey of my chow mix. I am no doctor and certainly have no idea what I'm doing as a first time dog owner. I trust Drake center and really feel that they care about my dog and have nothing but her best interest. 

Business response:

Dear Nicole, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your chow mix have had such a positive experience with us - especially with Dr. Hamlet! Being a first-time dog owner can feel a bit overwhelming, but it’s clear how much you care about your pup’s well-being, and we’re honored that you trust us to guide you on this health journey. Dr. Hamlet and our entire team are committed to making sure every pet feels loved and cared for, and we’re so happy to hear that you’ve felt that dedicat... read more

The doctors and staff are amazing and very caring. Pretty pricey but what vet isn't? The facility is clean and has a satellite office within walking distance.

I've been coming to The Drake Center for the past few years ever since our past vets office closed. I am SO incredibly thankful to have found them. I have seen several vets there and they are always kind, helpful, and not pushy which I really appreciate. However, this review in specific is for Dr. Leslie. She is an angel as far as vets go! Dr. Leslie has been such a blessing for our family. She has been the most supportive, friendly, and caring vet I have ever met. She takes her time during our appointments, gives our pets l... read more

My go to veterinary hospital for both of my dogs. The staff is so nice and professional. They always answer the phones promptly and follow up on any request. The drive is over 30 minutes for me and they are worth it. Dr. Tiglio sees both my pets, and does acupuncture for one of my dogs. She is the best! I could not recommend her more highly. 

Business response:

Christina, thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that you've chosen The Drake Center as your go-to veterinary hospital for your furry companions.

My chihuahua needed teeth cleaning, but I didn't know how bad her teeth really were. Dr Dilworth and Dr. Leslie were very kind and explained that her teeth were in poor shape. After all was done she had 16 teeth extracted. I was embarrased that I had let this go so long, but Dr Leslie was very patient. I highly recomend this vet for accomodating us so quickly and making the appointment go so smoothly (for handling an 11 year old chihuahua). My 'baby' came home with pain meds which she really didn't need and is eating like cr... read more

This is as much a review of the Drake Center as it is a thank you to Dr. Borsack. My name's Hank. I'm just a little terrier. Ok... I'm a mix, but most people guess terrier. A few years ago I went in just not feeling "super" and they were like, yeah it's Covid time nobody feels super but let's take a look. The staff was so kind and complimentary. I had just gotten a fur cut. Sometimes if I'm not feeling real hot I like to treat myself and see if I can kinda bust the slump, ya know? They noticed and hey that matters to me. The... read more
