St Francis Animal & Bird Hospital

I have taken my dog to see Dr Knep for about 7 yrs or so. He is a great vet in many ways. But the thing that I admire most about him is that he realizes that the person is important too. Let's face it times are difficult financially and sometimes vet care is not the first thing anyone can afford. My dog had an infection and I took him to see Dr Knep. He didn't judge me or shame me but rather helped me to help him. The infection returned shortly after treatment and I took him in and paid another 200 dollars only to be shamed by Dr. Roeser (Dr Knep was unavailable) and then the staff took his lead on that one. It wasn't outright but you could tell they were judging me. I can't tell you how bad I felt that I couldn't bring him in sooner. I had to go without food for some time in order to get him treated that second time around. After that experience with Dr Roeser it makes me not want to go back there. And yes the infection is back. I must say that I wish they had treated the source rather than the symptoms. I was told it was allergy related. I can't afford another 200 again. Bottom line Dr Knep is a thoughtful, caring and compassionate veterinarian. I can not recommend him enough. Thank you more

Dr. Knep is kind and helpful. He is very smart and also has a fun, friendly personality. I would highly recommend him to care for your animals. more

I have brought all 3 of my dogs here. The care is compassionate and personalized as well as safe and thorough. I fully trust them when my dogs need medical attention. Dr. Blair is brilliant and has an excellent bedside manner. I have had to make some very tough decisions under her guidance. She helped me make those decisions while offering her full support during such difficult times. It is more than obvious that the staff at St. Francis do their best by their patients. more

My dogs have been seeing Dr. Knep for years. He's been one of the most compassionate, dedicated and pleasant people I've had the pleasure with which to work. He goes above and beyond for each of my dogs and answers all of my questions with patience and clarity. I recommend Dr. Knep to anyone and often do. more

I took my FIV positive cat in for an x-ray. His condition was known to this clinic (they had diagnosed him). My cat was NOT in pain when I took him in. I picked him up 2 hours later. He was in severe pain. I didn't know Stefan Knep was going to be the vet who treated him and would not have taken him in if I had known. He seemed to be gleeful and bullying. Treatment was inadequate after this. My cat was in so much pain that I had to euthanize him four weeks later. This so-called vet is responsible for the abuse my poor, very sweet tempered cat suffered at their hands. more

Best vet! I already wrote a very detailed praise of Ms. Jenkins service, and was unfortunately cut off/not saved by citysearch, as I apparently took too much time to enter in this space. I strongly recommend this vet service. Pros: wonderfully communicative Cons: none! more
