10 STARS for Dr Alice! She KNOWS her field. She takes time explaining the condition for which the symptoms are the reason for your call. She is clear, very clear, on what to do with your Large Animal between the visit and the followup. She assumes the customer is intelligent and doing the right thing, never talks down to any client. She is a foreward thinker and uses every piece of experience she has had in her past along with up to date equine/large animal vet research and study. The reason why I have to give a 4 star is because there is a high charge for travel fees for being 31 miles away from Canterbury, wherein there are no highways.

The vet that came out should have got five stars came out immediately for emergency call very personable she knows how to talk to people she knows her Field well The big disconnect was from the woman in the office that was the secretary when I called I thought I was getting into a few hundred dollar emergency visit turned out to be close to $700 for two calves When I went up to pay remainder of the bill because I didn't expect such a high bill at Farm came two days later to pay bill and get receipt told me she could not. She would email it to me not very personable at all not easy to talk to On top of it all this was crippling to my farm now I have to sell the two cow I was raising for my Family due to such high cost incurred my final conclusion is if money is not an option when it comes to raising your animals for your own needs and not pets this is not a very feasible option to call this place they were able to save the cows life from pneumonia but for a $700 visit and I wasn't left with vials of antibiotic or anything to treat down the line when I call out my equestrian vet they always make sure I have extra medication because they know the expense that it put on my Farm be. Cautious when calling make sure they explain pricing clearly I think because they thought I was a first time customer that to give it to him but honestly it's crippling to my farm especially when I had to work two weeks to pay that bill.

There's not enough words for how well Alice and Cara take care of their clients-animals and human. Whether it's a 2am colic call or yearly check they are always at the top of their game. These ladies are outstanding.
