We moved here four years ago from New Jersey where veterinary care is all about the money...with Dr. Mark it's all about the animals! He's kind, compassionate and doesn't try to tack on extra fees and unnecessary services. When we found a lump on our dog, Zoe's, side, Dr. Mark immediately did the surgery on her even though it wasn't his scheduled day to operate. He basically saved our Zoe's life since it was a cancerous growth. We are forever grateful and tell everyone we know how wonderful he is! The office staff is fantastic as well! They are very friendly, professional and caring unlike other veterinary office staff we have dealt with in the past. We highly recommend Birkdale Animal Hospital for the very best in care for your precious babies!!
