I have gone through many hospitals, searching for a place of integrity that treated both the patients and the clients with love and respect. I refuse to compromise quality, and I will drive far if I need to in order to achieve this. Most veterinarians I have worked with before, pre judge their clients. They base their recommendations on what they think the client will be receptive of. This means withholding information from clients that may be a better choice for the pet, because they think the client will not be receptive to the price. Or some places offer services that are not necessary for the health needs of the patient, because they think the client is financially stable and trusting. My pets are my babies. I will do anything for them that they need. I strongly believe that once I choose to become their caretaker, the solemn responsibility is mine to provide for them all their needs. I also have a budget that I need to work in. The doctors and staff at Cascade Summit completely understand this and have wonderful communication with me about where I am coming from and what I would like for my pets. They are also honest with me. If I ask for something that from their experience may not be the best choice for my pet, they will tell me. They also provide very best of everything at their facility. You can have a big heart, but if your equipment, standards of care, or medications are outdated, it?s not very helpful. There were also unexpected bonuses that I received here as well! These people care more deeply than any other place I?ve been. They care about both the pets and the clients. Money is needed to provide optimum care. But what comes across is friendship! I have talked to other clients who?s pets have passed away who still come and visit the hospital to say hello or get together with some of the staff for coffee just to catch up. How wonderful! On top of that, they have an amazing holistic veterinarian who has a following of faithful clients who even come from out of state to see her. Even though I have to drive an hour to get to Cascade Summit Animal Hospital, that is no sacrifice for me to get such complete and perfect care for my babies. And if you have heard rumors that this place is expensive, it?s just not true. You can?t compare apples to oranges and expect the same price. You get what you pay for. I?m not going to waste my time and money on junk services elsewhere that could hurt my pet.
Pros: simply the best
Cons: might be a longer drive for some
