“What a breath of fresh air. We’ve been to a few vets for both our cats and for our dog. But most recently our male cat has been having a mix of medical and behavioral issues. After a few unproductive clinic visits that probably stressed him out more than anything else, we realized that we needed help from someone who would take their time during the appointment and really give a strong second opinion, given ALL the details!
Enter Dr Craig and the cat doctor staff! Everyone there is so thoughtful, knowledgeable, and they listen. The staff are friendly and helpful. I felt that Dr Craig gave holistic options and a real plan on how to tackle the issues my cat has been dealing with for over a year. I’m so encouraged to know that Dr Craig and team are on board to help us navigate the next steps.
A few specific differences for us:
Urinary test was done on the spot within 10 min, not a take home kit that gets processed hours or even days later, with results taking up to a week.
Immediate ultrasound with amazing vet techs who kept my cat calm/ comfy. We got to see the imaging and learned what doc is looking for. Also immediate relief from getting answers! Finally!
After Talking through a reasonable game plan, we left the appointment with everything we need to make it happen. No extra online ordering, no trips to other stores, no collecting samples ourselves and wondering what the result will be all week.
Long story short… I’ll be recommending The Cat Doctor to friends and family!”
“Dr. Norstrem has been caring for our four-legged family members for twenty-eight years. He is simply the best veterinarian in the area. We love Dr. N. and his entire staff and so do our pets. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would.”
“I just had my cat Allison spayed here and everyone was very kind, it went really well, they checked up on her afterwards and most of all the cost was very low! I had called around to many vet offices and they were by far the cheapest option although I didn’t feel like I was compromising on quality care! Their office is very clean and staff is very friendly! Allison was really comfortable with everyone and did great. She was going potty outside of the litter box and after her surgery she has completely stopped doing that! I’m ecstatic! I’d happily drive the 20 minutes from Tacoma to bring my animals here! I’m so glad I found them!”
“Had a great experience. Came in for a wellness check for my new puppy. Dr Mason was super friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions. I appreciated how genuine she was and felt that she cared about me and my puppy. I’ve had so many experiences that felt very transactional and this was not the case at all. Highly recommend and will be bringing all of my other pets here as well!”
“We brought our 2 year old Shepherd pup here for an injury she received from a dog bite that was very severe. Doctor Amie Besola was accommodating and provided a professional estimate before moving forward with the most incredible treatment and care that was given I had to share.. please be aware, Lucy's before pics are a bit difficult to view. She was bitten on the soft part of her nose but the skill Dr. Besola and her staff took was amazing and her after photos deserved comment I will also say that my dog's demeanor and attitude is like nothing ever happened. 💕”
“Staff was very nice and very helpful. I definitely recommend them. I had an elder cat that I had brought in. I also purchased a monthly plan , which was reasonable for what you get.”
“I had a really great experience at Twin Lakes Vet with Dr. Schaezler. She was wonderful with my dog, Rocky Ray, who is normally terrified of people. She was so gentle and patient with him that he actually liked her, which says a lot!
Dr. Schaezler was also very easy to talk to and took the time to give Rocky Ray a thorough exam. I really appreciated that she didn’t try to sell me on unnecessary tests or treatments. Instead, she explained what she found and gave me several treatment options so I could decide what worked best for us.
The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of care we received. I felt like she genuinely cared about Rocky Ray and wasn’t just trying to run up the bill.”
