What our Pet Parents are Saying:

Frank LOVES this office!  The veterinarians are wonderful and it is very obvious they love animals.  The staff are professional, efficient, caring and gentle with him.  He gets plenty of treats (he is a lab and, of course, labs love treats), pets and hugs.  The office is beautiful, very clean, we never have to wait more than a few minutes in the lobby; at the end of the visit we receive a full report of Frank's visit, instructions about any follow up care needed, and, if necessary, an appointment for the next visit.  We are also given a full disclosure about the price of all services before proceeding with Frank's care.  No surprises or unexpected add-ons to the bill.  I highly recommend Eastown Veterinary Clinic. - Candance G.
