Highly recommend! I was nervous bringing my large reactive dog to any vet but we have had nothing but great experiences here and my dog loves the workers.

Normally I love them. They are usually very kind, helpful, and loving towards my bunny. I did have a not so great interaction with the receptionist there. She treated me like I was stupid when I asked for a wellness check for my bunny because I recently adopted him. When I called to cancel because I was unhappy with the interaction, she acted like it was no big deal to lose my business.

I love everyone else in that place. I just wish there was a manager I could talk to to discuss it with. Update: I was contacted about the interaction. They took care of me, and treated me with respect. Highly recommend!

I strongly recommend Tchefuncte Animal Hospital and Dr. Laura Ferrara for exceptional, compassionate and knowledgeable care for all furbabies. She goes the extra mile to care for her patients and their owners. She gives her full attention in explaining the treatments and options available. Dr. Ferrara is most reliable in quickly returning phone calls and giving more than 100% to your care and the care of your pet.

She is indeed an extraordinary person. Her staff are very friendly and always so helpful. Get the very best of care for your pet at Tchefuncte Animal Hospital. I am so happy that we did. g

Wonderful place for your pet. Dr. Ferrera is kind, compassionate and makes you and your pet comfortable. She tries to treat your pet with other methods before she medicates Thanks to her and her staff for all their compassion

My husband and I have been taking our cocker spaniel to Dr. Ferarra for 4 years, and she has been nothing but responsive to our dog's needs. He likes going to the vet to visit with all the vet techs that take such good care of him. When I call for a refill or to set an appointment, calls are answered promptly and his medicines are always ready when I come pick them up.

Dr. Moores and Dr. Ferrara care for our four Australian Shepherds and two cats. Our 8 year old Australian Shepherd needed knee surgery in December and they provided him with excellent care. This week, when it became clear that our 15 year old Aussie, Baloo, could no longer stand and needed the stairway to heaven, we hoped that we could arrange for the vet to come to our house. Instead, my husband, son and I went to the clinic. Dr. Ferrara was incredibly sensitive to our needs.

I was expecting a rushed clinical setting. Instead, they transformed a treatment room into a place where we felt comfortable and there was no pressure to rush us through the emotional process of saying goodbye to our beloved Baloo. If we disrupted their schedule, they never, ever gave us a clue. Letting go of the beloved family pet is hard, but they gave us the TLC that we needed.

Tchefuncte Animal Hospital is great. They take very good care of my dog. When we get there, Amanda is waiting for him and gives him lots of attention and petting. He loves her. I have a lot of confidence in the doctors. Their expertise is greatly appreciated. The doctors and staff are always very helpful. The clinic is clean and inviting.

Our pug, Daisy, sees Dr. Moores and has seen Dr Ferrara twice. We love the Doctors and everyone else at Tchefuncte Animal Hospital; we don't think it's possible to find better care for pets. The staff is always caring and concerned about our needs as well as Daisy's.

I have been taking my two dog children to Dr. Laura Ferreira for about four years now. I couldn’t ask for better care for our dogs. They are caring and explain everything in detail. Their follow-up is also impeccable. I couldn’t recommend them enough

We have the best vet!! My baby has been a little under the weather the last few days. Today when I came home to find her sneezing much more than normal, lethargic, and shivering, I called AT CLOSING TIME. They stayed and waited for me to get her there so they could take care of our girl! Thanks Dr. Laura and Tchefuncte Animal Hospital!

I have never been to an animal hospital like Tchefuncte Animal Hospital. Everything was absolutely amazing from the moment I walked in until the time we left! Everyone there made me feel like they have been knowing me and my fur baby for years! I brought my five year old son with me and he was horrified that our baby had to get shots. He cried and cried so Dr. Laura brought Peanut out of the room to administer the shots so my son would not have to see. This made him feel way more comfortable. They gave me great recommendations to keep my doggy happy and healthy!! Thank you so much!!
