Dr. Emily is so friendly and very informative. I think she knows everything there is to know about dogs, well, at least my little Zuchon! I really enjoy talking to her. She is the best!
Dr. Emily provided exceptional veterinary care. She was thorough, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient in answering all my questions. My pet was treated gently and with great attention. I highly recommend Dr. Emily to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate veterinarian.
I can honestly say, this is the best vet I’ve personally ever been too. I am thankful for the staff and the services. We’ve seen a few different doctors there starting with Dr. Groh for allergies for Gunner, he’s absolutely amazing and explains everything very well and just an all around great guy with a very funny sense of humor (let him tell you some jokes), we’ve seen Dr. Emily, Dr. O’Brian and yesterday Dr. Gerlach. This vets office never hesitates to get us when when we need it, and I couldn’t be anymore thankful for that. The doctors are absolutely amazing one of our pups suffer from anxiety and is nervous all the time, the doctors actually get down on the ground on his level to make him more comfortable to do the exams and I am so glad I can trust this place to take care of our pups when needed and fast. So THANK YOU Blue Springs Animal Hospital for just making this an amazing experience and I’m so glad we have you guys to go too!
