Posted on Google Dana R My dog had to have acl surgery and I was referred to this clinic. I was extremely impressed with Dr. Sarah Waddell she was so concerned about my dog. Surgery went very good.Posted on Google Melissa W As a ferret owner, it can be difficult to find veterinary care for my pet, but this office exceeded all expectations. The veterinary technicians and doctor were incredibly knowledgeable, nice, compassionate, and gentle. They handled my ferret with great care after her injury, and the veterinarian clearly showed me exactly where her wounds were following an efficient exam. They prescribed antibiotics and pain medication that began helping her almost immediately. Even though it was an hour til closing time, they were kind enough to let us make a much-needed appointment, which I truly appreciate. I am SO grateful to the entire team for their professionalism, kindness, and the excellent care they provided for my baby. If you’re a ferret owner like me, this place will take great care and attention of your pets.Posted on Google Sydney F I took my bunny there because he was suffering from gi stasis, and all of the staff was super kind and helpful. They knew exactly how to help him and were able to answer all of my questions.Posted on Google Ana D Very experienced doctor and staff. The luxury boarding suites are great if you have multiple dogs!Posted on Google Becky S The staff is so friendly and Dr. Sarah is the best. She takes time to listen to the issues and throughly explains what she does and the follow up care if needed. I rescued a ferral kitten and named him Archie. The whole staff treats every patient as if he or she were their own. Archie enjoys going to see the staff at Provenance. I highly recommend them for all your pet needs.Posted on Google Shayla C I can’t say enough good things about the care my dog receives here. From the moment we walk in, both my dog and I are treated with kindness and respect. This clinic truly goes above and beyond for their clients and patients.Posted on Google Hannah F I can’t say enough wonderful things about Provenance Veterinary Hospital. From the moment you walk in, the receptionists are welcoming and kind, setting the tone for the entire visit. The vet techs are compassionate, gentle, and truly treat your dogs as if they were their own. The doctors go above and beyond—thorough, patient, and excellent at explaining everything in a way that gives you confidence and peace of mind. It’s rare to find a clinic where every single person you encounter stands out, but Provenance truly does. My dogs are always in the best hands here, and I’m so grateful to have a veterinary team that combines professionalism with genuine care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-quality veterinary care!Posted on Google Laurynn B I would just love to say that for one I am absolutely in love with the fact that the doctor and her staff are so compassionate about the animals in their care whether it is a cat or a bird or even a reptile! It is so hard to find Veterinarian’s willing to work with our scaly companions and Dr. Waddell is one of the best I’ve been too! My “little” guy had an abscess behind his eye that was so worrisome, but after a good long visit at the vet and some good medication. He had a perfect shed and his eye was as good as new! I know many people don’t think these creatures deserve the same care as cats and dogs because they don’t have the same personality attributes, but they truly are great companions and deserve the same care! Thank you so much Provenance Staff for taking care of my sweet boy!
