12 years ago I had a Golden Retriever puppy, my first dog and she quickly became a part of my family. New to the world of pet ownership, I tried a few different vets and was pretty disappointed by a number of things that I won't mention here. Then I was finally lucky enough to stumble across Adobe (and Dr. Tom Newland). Dr. Newland treated us almost as family and you could tell he truly cared about Casey (our dog). She actually liked coming to the vet because Dr. Newland and staff were always so authentically happy to see her and really showered her with affection. Dr. Newland's integrity is rock solid as well. I was never hit with any type of unforeseen charge (on the occasions where major care was needed, he always gave me options and prepared me for the cost); there's no beaurocracy happening here. When it was finally time to say goodbye to Casey, he opened the clinic on a weekend and was very compassionate while we said our farewells.
I now have an older golden (a rescue) and he and the staff treat her with love and compassion as well.
If we ever leave the area I don't know how we'll replace Adobe.
