Dr. John Sessions was so amazing to me and my cat. My baby Rory is getting older and has had a chronic health condition for years that nobody has been able to tell us the root cause of or how to make him feel better. Dr. Sessions was able to put my mind at ease immediately by explaining how this condition affects cats, walking me through our options and his recommended tests, and telling us how to treat him to increase his quality of life in his later years. The doctor followed up multiple times over the next couple of weeks to check on how Rory was doing, and was so knowledgeable—helping me understand what we were doing every step of the way, along with all of the staff. He even told me stories about his cats and some of the staff’s cats to let me know I wasn’t alone in dealing with this. If you ever need empathetic, well-informed professionals to help your pet, this is the place to go.

Edit: Added some photos of my sweet boy doing much better ?

The level of gentleness the team had with our elder dog was so wonderful to see. Their obvious skill and dedication set my mind at ease during his post-surgery stay, and their communication with us was next level. We were contacted 2-3x/day about his status and care plan, and were able to call and visit frequently without feeling like we were bothering them. Greatly appreciate them all!

NVS provided life saving treatment for my rapidly declining fur baby in the middle of the night. Emergency vet care is not cheap however they were completely transparent and helped me find a practical plan to diagnose and treat my boy. They have such an incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate team of veterinary professionals and support staff. I am eternally grateful to them for saving my boy!

I am pleased with the level of communication and service provided to my furbaby Bruno. He had a gastro-intestinal obstruction and they took care of him immediately. He is on the road to recovery and I am grateful for their service.

Very attentive. Expert in field. Dr Armstrong was excellent and knows his business. Staff was friendly and carings. 2.3 lbs yorkie broken humerus repair such a tiny bone and able to repair. Picture blown up as screw is only 2mm. (Such a tiny and extremely small bone to work on) Highly recommend this location for your fur babies. Dr Armstrong rocks!!!!

Everyone from my 1st panicked phone call..all the way through the daily follow up and the final discharge to home..were FANTASTIC! They explained what/why they were doing, kept us abreast of our cats vitals/ labwork/ and overall condition. They quickly discovered that she had been exposed to irises and they knew exactly what she needed. We brought her home and the f/u care with our vet was already there when I scheduled the out patient lab work the next day. I Hope we never have to use them again but we are so very thankful that they are available 24/7 and I couldn't ask for nicer people, Good coffee while we waited, and a spotless facility! Thank you for saving our Salem, Marc and Molly Miller

I’ve spent way too much time with my pup at NVS but have been so thrilled by their quality of care and knowledge. From Oncology to the ER for anaphylaxis to even minor concerns they have really been an amazing healthcare partner for my dog.

The nurses and vets at this hospital saved my puppies life. After an accidental overdose that I thought for sure would take her life , the hospital worked along with poison control and my baby was able to come back home to me! I can’t ever repay them for what they have done but they will always have my love and gratitude! I give them a 100% ! Thank you once again to all who worked so hard to bring her safety home to me.❤️
