Testimonial

Home: Testimonials

This is probably the very best clinic I've taken an animal to.  They were all very genuine and concerned for my crested gecko, Dash.  They answered every crazy call and questions I had.  They even called back like four times to check-up on him.  Super nice people, could not ask for a better clinic to bring my scale babies to.
