He is compassionate and caring. He doesn't treat me like a crazy dog person even though I am. He comes up with the best treatment options for my dogs and helps me to keep costs at a minimum while providing excellent care. His staff are all knowledgeable and friendly.

Dr. Parrott has always taken such wonderful care of Sabrina, our senior golden retriever. Whether going in for a routine wellness visit, or the occasional emergency illness, Dr. Parrott has treated Sabrina with the same gentle care that I'm sure she offers her own pets. She takes time with us to explain her treatment recommendations and answer any questions without feeling like she is rushing out to her next appointment. When Sabrina was recently diagnosed with splenic cancer, Dr. Parrott's kindness and compassion was so comforting from the day of Sabrina's diagnosis to her last breaths (all within 1 week), and knowing that she had a Golden who died from the same kind of cancer helped me to trust her even more with the care of our sweet Sabrina. And when the hardest decision of our lives had to be made, Dr. Parrott was there to reassure us that it was the best decision for Sabrina. On Sabrina's last day, Dr. Parrott came to our house to guide Sabrina into her eternal rest in the comfort of her own home. I will never forget the compassion in Dr. Parrott's eyes as we said our final goodbyes to our sweet angel, Sabrina.

In my humble opinion, Dr. Don Hoover is the most amazing veterinarian on this planet. He has such a huge heart and an infectious love for animals. He is warm, friendly, and compassionate, not to mention a fabulous bedside manner. Dr. Hoover is sincerely concerned about the well-being of his pet owners. I so appreciate this because we can get so wrapped up in caring for our fur babies that we exhaust ourselves and don’t even realize it. Aside from just an all around amazing human being, Dr. Hoover is incredibly intelligent and always involved in continuing education. He has a special interest in dentistry, oral surgery, and otology. Dr. Hoover is not a risk taker. He evaluates thoroughly, is realistic, and doesn’t give false hope. He is always responsive with follow-up information when my pets have had any sort of tests or surgeries. Dr. Hoover is open and honest and quick to give a reassuring hug when needed. Dr. Hoover and his wife have 7 children, many of whom are adopted! Enough said!!!
