Central Animal Hospital

My two cats have been going to Central for about 12 years now. The drs and staff know them almost as well as I do and we always receive excellent care.
In October both of my cats were sick, one with intestinal inflammation and the other with pancreatitis, which was a tough one to diagnose. The whole team was so empathetic not only to the cats but also to me. They didn’t give up on getting them back on their feet, answering my calls and questions every day with patience and much thought into what we could try next.
Dr, Beth Marks was so wonderful throughout and genuinely concerned for their well being. Very happy to report that, after both cats not eating for up to 5 days, we are healthy and happy once again.
Thanks to the entire team. So glad you are a part of our family!

I’ve been taking Chipper there for a little over a year now and have been extremely happy with the level of service, flexibility with scheduling, and the honesty that I receive from all of the veterinarians. They are a pleasure to work with and always get us in and out quickly, which is a huge perk since I’m able to visit on my lunch break. Thanks again for all the great work!

I brought my 8 year old female terrier in because I thought she may have hurt her right paw, ankle? ect. After I made the appt. I brought her right in which I thought was great and I was extremely greatful at the prompt service which was next to none. I was immediately introduced with the nicest women (who was the Dr.) & within ten min had a Diagnosis of Lime Disease. She gave my dog a round of anti biotics & blood work, ect. And within 24 – 48 hours my dog felt 100 times better, I highly recommend Central Hosp. To anyone who has an emergancy, they are extremely friendly from the staff, to the diagnostic staff and Doctors. They saved me from a miserable heartbraking few days of watching my dog who is most definitely a big part of my our family in pain. Now she is pain free and for now a very happy pit bull terrier… thank you Central animal Hosp.

We experienced the kindness and compassion of the staff here last week when our beloved old cat was euthanized to end his suffering. It was such a hard thing to do, but Dr Hutchins and his staff were wonderful. They even made us a small clay imprint of our boy’s paw to keep, which helped when I had to break the news to our young son. I am so grateful to have had their help.

We recently had to make the very sad decision to put our beloved dog to sleep. Dr. Marks was understanding and so helpful. She and a tech came to our house. They explained the process clearly, answered our questions and were sensitive to our needs as well as to our dog. We are very grateful and would recommend Dr. Marks highly.

DR Hutchins and staff are the best!!! The medical care and advice they give is right on point. But along with great medical advice you receive love compassion and understanding from the whole veterinary team and associated staff. I love them.

I bring my VERY nervous little Yorkie to Devin to be groomed. She does an awesome job, her price is extremly reasonable, and she is absolutely wonderful with my dog. I had tried so many different groomers until I found Devin at Central Animal Hospital through a Groupon, and now I only take my dog to her to be groomed. I can’t say enough good things about Devin!
I also don’t understand the negative reviews about the front desk help. They have always been very nice to me and as far as I can see, very nice to everyone else that comes in, either to have their animals groomed or to see a vet. It IS a busy place and they try to help everyone as quickly as possible, so they don’t have a lot of time to exchange lengthy «pleasantries» with everyone, but they certainly do their best to accommodate each person.

I take my dog here for grooming and Devin is awesome! Not only are her grooming skills top-​notch, but my anxious dog warms right up to her and she always comes out wagging her freshly-​trimmed tail. HIghly recommended!

I took my dog, pugsy, here for the first time this past week, first time i myself got him cut, and Devin did an awesome job! He went from a rag a muffin to looking like a million bucks! The front desk was very nice and helpful as well. Definitely referring anyone to go here. A+++

I was really excited to bring my dog here in February of last year after they came so highly recommended from a dear friend. There are 2 vets at the hospital, my friend has the female vet, while we were assigned to the male vet (who I later found out was the owner). From the get go, I just didn’t feel a great connection/​vibe from him.
We were there because my pup had deep gashes on the edge of her ears. We figured they would clean up the gashes then sew the ears back up. But instead, he advised us to cut her ears short (she has long floppy beagle ears) because if they just tried to stitch up the gashes she could get infected again.
I was apprehensive, but trusted his judgement. Well, Laney went into surgery and had her ears snipped. Well the problem was the cuts were different sizes on each ears so after the operation her ears were different lengths. You can say she looks abstract now. :/​Thankfully she is cute enough to pull it off.
Well, we took her home, head fully bandaged and in a cone of shame. Her ears were supposed to heal within a week. Well numerous visits and three weeks later, she FINALLY came out of the cone/​bandage. It was an exhausting ordeal where we never really got a true answer as to what went wrong and why the healing took so long.
Thankfully the only silver lining was they finally stopped charging us for office visits/​supplies after about the 3^rd trip in there for the same problem. I thank them for that.
The technicians and receptionists were amazing and quickly learned Laney’s name and had a great relationship with all the animals in the waiting room, etc.
After this ordeal, we decided to change vets. Would I give it another chance? Maybe if we tried the female vet.

I’ve had great experiences bringing my dog here. The ladies at the front have always been friendly and have been able to get us in quickly when needed. The vets are also friendly and knowledgeable.

I bought an AmazonLocal deal for grooming here and Devin did an outstanding job! I would absolutely return to her. Also, I made a vet appointment for the same day because my dog’s rabies shot was expiring (Devin’s suggestion), and I have no complaints there, either. Everyone was very nice, seemed genuine, and they were ready for me at the appointment time, which I’ve never experienced at other vets.

i think it depends which vet you see. dr. hutchins is fantastic. he had made home visits several times since i have multiple cats. unfortunately he went out for back surgery & left my cat who had been diagnosed as diabetic in the care of one of his associates. a few months later my cat almost died from a hypoglycemic episode. she advised me against home testing — in favor of billing me $ 200 a week to go see her to do the testing. one time she said i had to come in 6 hours after giving his insulin. i couldn’t get an appointment till 7 hours after i gave it & she said it wouldn’t be a useful test so i had to come back again. yet — she charged me almost $ 200 for a useless test & visit that i wasn’t given an appt. for at the time i requested it. i have a very busy work schedule & scheduling ANYTHING is difficult for me. she said he should ONLY eat purina dm — which he wouldn’t eat. it is also high in carbs for a diabetic cat food. when he had the seizure, i rushed him to angell. they couldn’t understand why he was on the insulin he was prescribed., it was a high dose & short acting, which increases the chance of hypoglycemia. the dr. couldn’t understand why i was advised against home testing. it was worth the $ 1700 i had to pay angell in an emergency room visit to get the right kind & dosage of insulin he should be on. now 6 months later, his fur looks much better, he’s grooming again, he’s gained 3 pounds & he’s eating well on other grain free low carb foods. at this point, he’s doing well on occasional veterinary maintenance & i monitor him daily at home. i feel that that my cat received incorrect treatment that almost cost him his life & cost me an arm & a leg there & to correct the problem. i’d consider using this vet again if dr. hutchins was back but for now i’ve gone elsewhere.

Took my lhasa rescue to the groomer. She did a great job. He looked fabulous. She was very warm and caring as well. Will go back.

This vet is the best! They are so caring and loving to our cats and treat them as their own… they greet us with a smile (cats and us humans). They were the only vet that recognized and treated the ring worm my cat was shipped up to Florida with (with a simple human prescription. Their offices are modern and comfortable and they don’t treat your animals like we are treated as humans at a doctors office. Prices are affordable. I will never go anywhere but! I have purebreeds that are not common to the area and they are very knowledgeable on the breeds. A definate 5 star VET!

Central Animal is fantastic! Have used them since 2003 and am extremely pleased with how the doctors, technicians & staff treat me and my animal companions.

I really can’t believe I haven’t Unilocal’d this place and I’ve been a fan since 2000!
Everyone one of my animals have gone here, from the dogs, to the cats to the bunni’s to the white mouse that my son saved from a crushing death.
Dr. Dawn Binder is the sweetest vet you will ever meet. She loves our fur-​babies like they are her own and Dr. Hutchins is just as great.
The care I receive there makes me feel safe in the choices that I have to make for my babies. They inform me of every possible option, recognize that I am not made of money and absolutely know that I love my babies so much that sometimes what is best is just to let nature take its course.
I love them for that.
I love the soft voice of Irene when I call in for an appointment. It is so refreshing to hear familiar voices that totally remember who I am when I call.
I love this place.

There isn’t a bad thing that I could say about Dr. Binder and her staff! Especially Katie. They are the most amazing staff in the veterinary world! My 8 month old Golden Retriever has allergies that are uncommon and had a botched surgery, not performed by Dr. Binder, that caused a 2^nd surgery that was much more invasive and severe. Dr. Binder and Katie and the reception staff at CAH were so kind and considerate and compassionate. They called daily to check upon Lucy after her emergemcy surgery. Not because they had to but because they genuinely cared about her well being. They are very helpful with all of my questions and concerns and are more than patient with my 15 phone calls a week. If you want your pet to have a long, healthy, happy life then I STRONGLY recommend that you take them to see the staff at Central Animal Hospital.

I love these vets and their staff. We’ve had them take care of our pets for over 15 years. They’re compassionate and caring, especially for a pet’s final vet visit.

i have see 2 different vets here for the care of my cats. Dr. Dawn Binder and Dr Rachel Klopfer. Both of them have a wonderful manner with my cats. They reception staff is efficient and friendly. All of the staff i have encountered here have been compassionate and understanding to the needs of my pets as well as myself as the pet owner. I would recommend anyone to bring their pets here for excellent quality of care.
