They know your dogs name and your dog. They are kind to all the dogs regardless of the individual dogs temperament.

Love this place, and my dog loves this place. Never seen an animal get excited to go to the vet but she gets excited every time we go here. That tells you a lot right there.

If I could give no star I would do that. I recently rec'd a collection notice for his consultation 18 months ago. No invoice sent, no phone call....."0" communication from his office. Furthermore, he was to provide a dental consult, never looked at my dog's teeth; yet told me she would need hip surgery... UNACCEPTABLE service with his services and his billing practices. If you do not invoice your clients you will not get paid, OBVIOUSLY!

Charging new customers significantly more doesn't seem like good business practice to me.

Dr. Doug Kern and his staff are absolutely amazing, definitely the best care for your beloved pets. We recently had an emergency with our French bull dog (Buddy). Doug answered my text messages at all hours of the day, night and weekend. Doug also made Buddy his first priority on an emergency Basis, got him in for surgery and saved his life. His assistant Marcie was an angel, took buddy home first night after surgery and rehabbed him for us. We don’t know what we would do without Doug and his staff and can’t thank them enough for all the amazing care they have givin us over the years.

My 13yr old Goldendoodle Nala needed surgery to remove cancer from her paw. Her regular vet had a long wait for surgery. I met with Dr. Kern and his team for the consult and 6 days later my dog got the surgery she had been waiting for since Oct! I highly recommend Dr. Kern and his team! Needless to say my dog is now a full time patient!

Licensed surgeon Dr. Kern, Assistant Marcy and the staff at First Choice are the best! The doctor is conservative and careful not to rush procedures that could heal on their own, not many doctors promote natural healing.Turns out we did eventually need a CCL and meniscus surgery a couple of months later, and we were so glad we went through with it. The procedure itself was only about 45 minutes and they have a window where you can watch the surgery should you feel so inclined. That was very comforting!I found that level of transparency says a lot about the quality of care you get at First Choice! I wish more vets let you do that. Dr. Kern is confident in his work and spends the time talking with you to make sure you're on the same page.3 days post surgery our dog is happier than she's been in months! Her spirit is back and she is ready to go full tilt again! The staff called twice to check up on her and we have 2 follow up visits over the next 2 months where they will teach us physical therapy techniques.First Choice is a 3 hour drive for us each way but well worth it! While we were there another dog had the same CCL surgery and he traveled 2 hours each way.The surgery procedure Dr. Kern preformed is the gold standard for CCL injuries since (at least) the 90s. He doesn't buy into the propaganda of other "hyped up" procedures and instead has many years perfecting the one he masterfully performs today.Don't think twice before booking your appointment. They won't let you down.
