We were new to the area and didn’t have a vet yet. One of our Golden Retrievers came to the door with a profound limp in a clear state of pain. Dr Wixsom agreed to add us to her schedule at the end of the day on the same day that we called. She examined Baxter and determined that he had broken a toe and offered multiple treatment actions but recommended that we only treat his pain and keep him from running or jumping for eight weeks. She correctly said that it could heal on its own if we are careful to keep him calm. Within a couple of weeks he was ready to play like a puppy again but we kept him calm and didn’t allow a lot of activity. By the end of eight weeks he was completely healed and back to playing with his brother. We are thankful that Dr. Wixsom was kind enough to work us into her schedule and for her wise approach to the matter at hand. We highly recommend her and her wonderful staff of caring professionals!

Friendly, knowledgeable staff! Very professional but also warm. Dr. Wixsom and the vet tech answered every question thoroughly and patiently. They provided many resources and information to get and keep our parrot healthy. They handled her well and minimized any fear my pet had ( and mine, as well!) We traveled about an hour and a half to be seen and we are very happy with our choice!

Today Mr. Fe, my sometimes difficult cat, and I went to see Dr. Wixsom and staff for his yearly physical. It was a very pleasant experience for both of us. Dr. Wixsom was very concerned about Fe and treated him with compassion. I was allowed to be with him for his entire visit and was able to have conversation with Dr. Wixsom and her staff, when we left I felt like all of my questions and concerns had been addressed. We most definitely have a new kitty health care provider at Guardian Animal. Thank you for your patience, caring, compassion and professionalism.Thanks again,Vicky Moritz and Mr. Fe

We have been using Doctor Wixsom and Guardian Animal for all our animals for well over 20 years. Best vet around. She always treats our dogs like they are her own and gives superb treatment. Our Dash was very sick last week and Doc figured out the problem quickly and saved his life. I can’t imagine trusting Dash’s care to anybody else.

Took our dog to this vet today. The staff was very friendly, they were knowledgeable, and kept us updated on wait time. The animal center was big with lots of room and clean. The Veterinarian, Dr. Wixsom was very caring and answered all of our questions and concerns and truly cared for our dog. I highly recommend this vet for your loved furry family member. ✔️❤️????

This is where we first brought our "exotic pet" (mini pig) snuffles for initial check up, worked, and vaccinated. That was less then a year ago! So snuffles comes down with some kind of sickness and we reach out to GAC for an appt to help heal our sweet ?, they charge us $400 for "day admission" and then when it's our time to be called back the doctor/nurse are surprised to see a PIG?!?! So they turn us away no help at all!!!! The funny part of it is that this place was her only healthcare provider and she had been here several times; so I guess my question is HOW? DOD YOU READ HER FILE ON THE COMPUTER TO MAKE HER AN APPOINTMENT & FORGET TO LOOK AT HER SPECIES'?

Dr. Wixsom is a knowledgeable, caring and thorough vet. We have brought our dogs here for several years and are very pleased with the care they receive. She is honest and provides all the information on what is going on with our dogs. When treatment is warranted, she explains it and makes sure we are well educated.We won’t take our dogs anywhere else! Thank you so much for taking excellent care of Doc, Rosie and Georgia???

I am so impressed with the care from Guardian Animal Medical Center. Our dog had leg swelling that was very concerning. They got us in the same day, were the KINDEST group of individuals and the thoroughness that was provided was off the charts. Every test was explained thoroughly and all questions were answered. After all of the tests and medication, the bill was so much less than expected. We will be switching vets to Dr. Wixsom and crew (and we live over 45 minutes away). I highly recommend them for any animal. Thank you guys!

I needed a Veterinarian to provide care to my 10 m/o Border Collie pup who is suffering from skin allergies. I have been to other vet clinics in the area over the years, and my experiences with them were not satisfactory when it came to the care of a beloved family member. I decided to make an appointment with Guardian hoping that I could get the care for my dog that he was needing AND to find a clinic where I felt like me and my doggo was respected and cared for. Aside from a small misunderstanding in the beginning, which was promptly remedied, I could not be more pleased and THANKFUL for the level of care and compassion that Dr. Wixsom and her staff has bestowed on me and my doggo! I was a nervous wreck for many reasons but my anxieties were relieved after I seen how the Doc and her Techs interacted with Bowie and quickly won over his trust in order to provide proper care! The staff really went above and beyond for me and Bowie and I am so grateful. The Dr and her staff were upfront and informative about the cost and effectiveness of each and every possible treatment with the goal of trying to work within your budget. Even before the exam begun, the tech asked me if I had a budget, this made me feel better knowing that they were willing to work with me if need be! I would recommend to friends and family. Thank you Guardian Animal!

Dr Wixsom has been great with my little Maltese HaIo…I truly believe I would have lost her if Dr Wixsom hadn’t seen her. Everyone there is friendly and caring. Would not consider going any where else!!!

Guardian took my cats on as patients when other vets were turning us away because they weren’t accepting new patients. The entire staff has been amazing from day one of our experiences with them. They’ve answered every question, listened to every concern, calmed every fear I’ve had as a cat momma, and have always taken top-notch care of my fur kids. My family is grateful for Guardian!

My dog was to be boarded & spayed while there. Unbeknownst to me, she had a mass that had a very good chance of being cancerous. Even over the phone, it was well explained, options discussed & treatment decided upon. She got to stay longer than expected due to post op needs. I figured she would be so excited to see us & go home! When they brought her out, instead she tried to go back in with her new friends!I chose Dr. Wixom for her experience, constant training, and the fact that my animal is important to her & her staff. I love my dog & want the best possible care given to her. I know how passionate Guardian is about animals, and that means more than anything in choosing care for my pet.
