Quakertown Vet is the best clinic I have brought my felines to. I have had amazing care and interactions with Dr. Geller, Dr. Newton, Dr. Holloway, and Dr. Kichline. My senior feline had been experiencing health obstacles this past year and all these providers were genuinely invested and cared for him like he was their own. The front staff is always attentive. The techs are so kind and caring. Even if my senior feline was feeling feisty about getting his nails clipped, the techs had a positive attitude. None of the employees I have interacted with are money hungry.Dr. Geller provided my kitten with a vaccine and even spent extra time with him to make sure there was no adverse reaction. Dr. Holloway is the primary veterinarian for my felines due to her intelligence and her kindness to my felines. She genuinely cared for my senior feline and was invested in his treatment plan until the end. Dr. Kichline was the provider in the ED. She helped my senior cat cross over the rainbow bridge peacefully. She provided thoughtfulness and patience in the way that my senior wasn’t just another euthanasia to her.
If I could give 1000 stars I would. Quakertown Vet was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately this morning we had to bring in our dog Ace, because he was actively dying and seemed to be in pain. I called and they were so compassionate with me when on the phone and helped me right away. We brought Ace in and from the second we walked in until the moment we left every single person there was kind, caring, and loving towards us and our amazing boy. As a pet owner this is one of the most difficult times of our lives, having to say goodbye to our fur baby.. They made this process feel so much easier on our hearts and our minds. After we said our goodbyes they gave us multiple paw prints, nose prints, a some of his fur to take home with us. I cannot express enough how thankful I am for Quakertown Vet and their support today. Especially after spending so much time on the phone with other vets in the area whose goal all seemed to be “money” Quakertown vet was the exact opposite! They cared about us and our boy, not our money. Thank you to each and every staff member we came in contact with today, you are all truly blessing to our family. And to our sweet boy Ace, we love you so much! Thank you for the best 11 years of our lives. You made our family whole 🤍 we will see you again on the other side bubba boy.
Can't say enough good things about this place from reception to Vet tech and Doctor. All the staff is so caring. Dr. Kichline went above and beyond, explained all in detail. I highly recommend this clinic. Five Stars across the board.
I have always had a great experience at Quakertown Vet Clinic. I travel an hour each way to go there, especially to see Dr. Consigli but to me it is always worth the trip to get such good, compassionate care. I totally respect the opinions, advise and treatments received. I would go no where else with my pets. I would highly recommend this Clinic.
