Dr Eliza Yanik is the best!
My family and I have been going to this doctor for YEARS! We will follow her where ever she goes because she practices FANTASTIC medicine. She came to the rescue so many times for my pets after being MISDIGNOSED by other doctors multiple times for not one but 3 of my pets.
For one of my pets, I was CONVINCED by a prior doctor at a different hospital, that my pet was in "Good Condition", but as a pet mom I couldn't understand why my pet didn't seem himself. Despite being RESISTANT, because the other doctor told me he was HEALTHY, Dr. Yanik took the time to fully explain what I was seeing and how to move forward with treatment. Though I didn't appeaciate the contradicting info at the time, because I thought I was being taken for a ride AGAIN, with no diagnosis, she stayed persistent! AND let me tell you, I am so greatful that Dr. Yanik was persistant! THIS ANGEL saved my pet's life and bought me precious time with him, that I would have LOST, if I had let my thoughts get to me and REFUSED treatment. I am unbelievably greatful that I followed her recommendations to find 2 treatable diseases. I am sorry I doubted you in the beginning due to the MISINFORMATION/MISDIAGNOSIS from the other doctor. I will never forget the EMPATHY and COMPASSION you showed me in those dark moments of my pet's life, especially since I was not in a good finacial space at the time. It meant alot to this worried pet mom.
Thank you DR YANIK! You are the best!
Ps. (I will never go to anyone else if I can help it)

Dr. Yanik is the smartest and most caring veterinarian I have ever met. Out of all of the veterinarians that have cared for my pets, she has been the most thorough, and she has offered an amazing standard of care that I’ve not found anywhere else. She is very intelligent, detail oriented, and willing to go above and beyond for her patients and clients. She always answers all of my questions with kindness and patience (as I always have so many). I appreciate the time and energy she pours into being very up to date on her medical knowledge and appreciate how she explains studies and medical decisions to me so that I feel like part of the team caring for my pets. With her very thorough examinations to her carefully recommended diagnostics, she has caught important medical diagnoses early for my pets, which allowed adequate treatment and likely added years to their lives. From arthritis to pneumonia to dry eye to cancer to diabetes, she has walked with me through some of the toughest times and helped me to make some very tough decisions when necessary. She always advocates for what is best for her patients while listening to owner expectations and answering any questions. She will take into account what is and isn’t possible for owners as well if you tell her what your personal constraints are with finances or time limits or ability to medicate pets. I’ve never once shared a concern with her that wasn’t met with understanding and compassion. I would strongly recommend Dr. Yanik to any pet owner that is looking for an amazing quality of care for their animals, who cares about receiving the best wellness and preventative care medicine to keep their pets healthy and diagnose problems early, or any pet owner who just wants to feel like they can trust their veterinarian to make the best possible decisions for their pets and explain those decisions for you to understand. She has never led us astray and we will continue to see her for years and years to come.

We take our cat here. They have early appointments, are on time, have friendly staff, and are caring towards pets. We were referred to them when we moved into the area a few years ago. We have liked all techs and vets we've had and have no complaints.

If you come here I would avoid Dr Eliza Yanik.
Dr Yanik used fear to pressure me to pay for procedures when she couldn't properly explain to me why they were necessary. I explained I did not want to pay hundreds/thousands of dollars for a diagnoses I couldn't do much about for my aging 15 yr old cat. She kept saying she couldn't predict the future but that we should do all that we can and made me out as unreasonable for asking. She called me "resistant" to properly caring for my cat and implied I was a poor pet owner. She left the room in a huff and said "I don't understand medicine" before I could respond - completely unprofessional.
I came to Dr Yanik for a recheck of an issue my cat had. In the 3 weeks that passed between visits, these were the notes from 2 different doctors:
7/8 (Hedden): Normal dentition and grade 1 dental calculus and gingivitis.
7/27 (Yanik): Calculus grade 4/4 esp distal. Gingivitis grade 2/4
7/8 (Hedden): No visible abnormalities, BCS 4/9 Still boney along his back
7/27 (Yanik): severe, generalized low MCS. BCS 2.5/9; MCS 2/4
Somehow my cat went from "good health" to "severe failing health" health/teeth in 3 weeks at the same weight. I honestly don't know if the truth is somewhere in the middle of the significantly different evaluations above, but I do know that Dr Yanik showed me no understanding/empathy when I asked for more explanation before spending hundreds more on diagnostics.

Dr Hedden is the best vet we’ve ever seen! So caring, so skilled and intelligent, and great bedside manner. Her and her staff helped our lab heal from a spinal injury. We also worked with Daniel for rehab, and he was so kind and patient with our pup. The front desk staff is so helpful, accommodating and awesome! We can’t recommend Dr Hedden and her team enough!! Truly the best!

Great place! I've been coming for years, everyone has been friendly and helpful. They are good about getting back to me. I've called and spoken to the technicians and doctors many times and they are always happy to help. I especially appreciate all of Daniel's help. He's been really great with my previous cat and now my new kitty.

I have been going to Central Animal Hospital for years. I have always been very happy with them. Most of the time I like to go to Dr Hedden. But I have gone to other vets now and then. This time my dog had multiple issues. The tests and x-rays were done right away and I was called with all the results by midday on Monday. Then can up with a treatment plan. The only reason they got a 4 was that we had to wait 7 days to get an appointment. Although this is a very common problem right now.Mark
