REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
Can not say enough about how much I love this vet. I have brought 2 of my babies here so far and got prompt and empathetic service every single time. Their prices are reasonable and you have the ability to communicate with them via text (which makes the whole process so much more accessible for my neurodivergent self).

All the staff are awesome. My dog is nervous when he goes to the Vet but they do a wonderful job with calming music and the way they handle my big guy Thor. I stayed on after Covid hit and the practice was sold and I have nothing but good things to say.

If Norman Rockwell painted a vet clinic, this would be it. Empathetic, engaged, cordial, efficient, fast, responsive. From start to finish, round after round. Even if you're an established patient at another clinic, consider giving this one a shot.

Easy to set appointment. It’s nice they proactively reach out for scheduled appointment. Dr Hollenbach’s team is well trained on how to handle reactive dogs. Lots is positive reinforcement. Much appreciated

I don’t know if going to the vet is more stressful for me or my cat, but Northwest always makes it as pleasant as possible. Dr. Hollenbach is very thorough and empathetic, Brett at the front desk is great, and all the staff have always been incredibly kind. My cat has been having some health issues recently and they have checked in multiple times to see how he is doing and I greatly appreciate it!
