Dr Poet is the best, we have been with him from the very start and will not go anywhere else. He is the most caring vet I have ever been to, he explains everything so you understand. The best is he makes friends with your fur baby, he has gotten down on the floor and played with mine. He is the best there is! The Bakers

Dr. Poet is simply THE BEST! A genius with diagnosis and instinct that beats all. Not one to gouge your pockets with unnecessary tests. Very compassionate, knowledgeable and kind. Rebecca (I think his wife) is very kind and helpful as well. They make a great team. Thank you so very much for all you do.

Called to schedule appt for our new puppy. Receptionist could not locate former records. 2 cats and 2 dogs over 20 years had been seen in best friends clinic. New owner "Rebecca" said not taking "new" patients. Good because I would not want my puppy seen by those people. Very rude!

Dr. Poet is the consummate professional veteranian. He takes time to listen, to educate, and to care. With four dogs and two cats, we've come to know Dr. Poet well, and he's come to know us and our pets. He's always kind, willing to fix as necessary, and knowledgeable about current and developing treatments. His staff supports him well - and they are an efficient and caring place to take sick or hurt pets.

Dr. Poet is the best. He is extremely compassionate, kind, and knowledgeable. His rates are reasonable and he is honest about options and possibilities. We have never felt pressured or taken advantage of. Our animals always get excellent care ( cats and dogs alike). We've had quite a few old timers and they are always happy to see Dr. P and his techs. I haven't had the same experience with the other vet in this office. She is not bad, but it's hard to hold a candle to Dr. P.

Dr Poet is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful in caring for my animals. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and will explain needed treatments. The vet techs and office staff are also friendly and helpful. You can actually ask everyone here questions and get answers.

I live in Florence, but I took my 4 Norwich Terriers to Dr. Poet for teeth cleaning (highly recommended by a friend) because he is very familiar with the breed. One has a Norwich respiratory issue and it is important to have the knowledge he does about it. It was the most amazing experience I have had with a vet hospital and I have had many years of experiences.

They allowed me to observe and look at their airways myself. I was also able to assist in the after care. He cleaned all their ears, trimmed their nails, and treated an anal gland that had infected. I was treated like I had been a client for years. The entire staff was amazing. Prices were very reasonable. Just wish they were in Florence!

Dr Poet and his staff are caring and empathetic. Their expertise with my dog and cats has been top notch. They have intervened and saved my pets lives more than once. Your furry friend will receive excellent care here.
