Dr. Hammes is a kind, gentle veterinarian and a brillaint surgeon. Toni is awesome and as knowledgeable as they come with a sharp sense of humor. They're a great team. I have brought all my pets to Dr. Hammes as well as recommended family and friends. Not one person I recommended to this hospital has ever been disappointed. Dr. Hammes saved my cats life, he went over all the costs with me ahead of time, gave me options and I felt his fee was more than reasonable. As far as I'm concerned, my cats surgery was complicated and in no way a minor surgery. Toni was so sweet and kind while my cat was recovering. Then this past February we learned our beloved dog, Badger had terminal cancer. I was faced with the hardest decision I have ever had to make. And that was letting him go. This kind doctor was able to bring me to a place in my heart and mind where I could feel at peace. For me, that's not an easy thing to do. I worry about everything. He took his time with me and my family and badger. He loved on badger right along with us. And I hope he doesn't mind me saying this but, he shared his experience with me and my family of the time he was losing his own dog. By the time he finished his story; there was not a dry eye in the exam room. Including Dr. Hammes. We were all crying together. I knew then, this man understands exactly what I am going through and I will never want another vet. I already had the utmost respect and admiration for Toni and Dr. Hammes. After going through that difficult and heart wrenching time with them, the respect and admiration is off the charts. Dr. Hammes is all the qualities I believe any doctor must have and it's hard to find these days. I will add compassionate to the long list of outstanding qualities. You will have peace of mind and know your four legged family members are in the best of hands. I love this place
