After having an uneasy feeling at our previous vet on more than one occasion, we decided to switch to Tri-County based on numerous recommendations. I don’t typically write reviews, but after our experience this morning with my dog at Tri-County, I felt obligated to share. From the moment we walked into the office, the experience was wonderful. Marni at the front desk was so welcoming, Amanda the nurse was kind and attentive, and Dr. Torres was absolutely amazing. The level of care, compassion, and professionalism we experienced was truly refreshing compared to what we’ve dealt with in the past. I cannot recommend them enough. If you are looking for a new vet, this is definitely the place to go!

I recently visited Tri-County Animal Hospital with my cat for her annual check-up and ultrasound for a prior issue, and I couldn't be more pleased with the care and service we received. From the moment we walked through the door, the staff was welcoming and attentive, making sure my cat felt comfortable and at ease. The veterinarian was thorough in examining my cat, taking the time to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had. They were knowledgeable and provided me with helpful information on how to best care for my cat's health. The facilities at Tri-County Animal Hospital were clean and well-maintained, and I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. The prices were also reasonable and they were upfront about the costs of the services provided. Overall, I had a great experience at Tri-County Animal Hospital and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality veterinary care for their furry friend.

I brought my kitten for health evaluation and scheduling for surgery. I was impressed with the attention given to my cat, the evaluation performed by Dr Torres, the cleanliness, and the fact that the first thing spoken to me was NOT about money. I liked Dr Torres right away and felt she communicated really well and cared about my little Pepper. Thank you.
