Dr. Hamlet and the staff were so helpful to our dog Rocky. We appreciate their hard work. This is the only place I will bring my dogs to. They are absolutely incredible. Can't say enough great things about them.
I tried some other vets around the area when we first moved here about 6 yrs ago and nothing compares to the Drake Center. My dog has severe anxiety and they take such great care of her. They call to check up after vet visits and really help on pricing.
10/10 highly recommend this place! The technicians here are extremely knowledgeable and Dr. Shotwell, the veterinarian, spent about an hour with us going over all the things new puppy parents need to know. Sent us home with a wealth of educational pieces and the online services they offer are very user friendly! Great location with plenty of parking makes this super convenient as well.
Docs are great and very convenient. But when they give you medicine it is upwards of 100% over the cost at petco/chewy.com/1800petmeds. To make matters worse they make it very hard to buy from the discount sites and will not simply authorize or fax scripts to the online vendor. Super inconvenient putting money and their bottom line before the care of a pet. I emailed their "customer support" rep and received no response. Avoid these guys unless you have deep pockets to give to their rent.
Just wanted to leave an updated review... after having my boss switch vets and now her two yellow Labradors are clients at the Drake Center, one of her dogs got a weird eye drip/boogers. We were a bit concerned about it, so I called the front desk, got their e-mail, sent a picture and within 5 mins got a response back assuring us that it was most likely an allergy and to monitor it and try Benadryl. I can't tell you how many other vet offices would of said "Just bring her in"... Obviously Drake is not about price gauging the... read more
The amazing doctors at the Drake Center never disappoint. We had a possible emergency on a Saturday night and called the office in a panic. Dr. Drake called us right away to advise. Obviously, she was not at home and she was so kind and understanding. We have taken our pups to Drake Center for more that a decade and it is clear that the entire staff genuinely cares about what is best for our pets and our family.
Drake center is awesome! Every doctor in there knows what they're doing and I feel like my for babies are in excellent hands.
This place really saved me today. My regular vet was closed ( because it's Sunday), and my dog had a super swollen infected toe. I popped in not expecting them to be able to see us, and was greeted by a super friendly receptionist, who checked to see if a vet could see us. They squeezed us in, and we saw Dr. Dilworth, who was very sweet, knowledgeable, and great with my dog. Everyone here was so helpful, kind and accommodating. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for veterinary care:)
I really like this vet. They get you in and out and don't push anything extra. They actually show you a itemized bill prior to doing anything and you can just mark out what you don't want. Super easy. Clean facility and they are always super sweet to my dogs. I have been coming here for 3 years now.
