Voices from our
grateful families
"Thank you very much for your kindness, generosity, and expertise in examining and treating Abby. Your consultation on her case, diagnosis and treatment recommendations have been critically important and extremely beneficial to the healing process in Abby’s right eye. I am very grateful."

Dr. Fear
"We just wanted to express our sincerest appreciation for your attention to our little Sammy with the stuck eyelids. We had no idea what to expect as an outcome and were so relieved his condition was treatable and you offered to do the procedure right on the same day. We can only imagine how grateful Sammy is to have sight in that eye! We cannot thank you and your staff enough for the kindness and compassion shown by everyone at the Animal Eye Care Center!"
Better Days Animal League
"Dr. Smith, I want to thank you for the wonderful job you did removing Romney’s eye. I’ve noticed how carefully you preserved his good looks: you slanted the surgical scar at an angle that matches his remaining eye and you saved some of the eyebrow whiskers. Romney is still quite a handsome fellow! Thank you for the good care that you’ve given both my cats! I really appreciate it."
Susannah C. ​​
​"Thank you for the great care! Archie is doing excellent and it even seems that the extra drainage has subsided. Great practice, care, and pricing! The first place we took him to wasn't a great experience, and not to mention they wanted around $3,000. So happy we decided to get a second opinion."
