- Nikki Duncan
My hedgehog was very sick and they were the only ones who would see him the next day. Dr. Raab and her assistant were so thorough and knowledgeable I felt very comfortable. They treated him so well and you could genuinely see their love for all animals. I can't thank them enough!
- KJ
Lovely clean pleasant facility, and everyone on the staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Raab is wonderful and was great with our skittish bunny! There are very few small animal vets in the area, so we were grateful to find Dr. Raab.
- Barbara Tomlin
Dr. Raab is the only vet who is able to handle my African Gray parrot without causing her stress. She is gentle, kind, and patient. Autumn had her nails and beak trimmed and is a happy bird! I always recommend Animal Wellness Center to anyone looking for a vet.
