All the staff truly make us feel like family ~ front staff are amazing with my Newfie! They all encourage him, as he just lays down when he doesn’t want to get weighed!!! The Drs are so wonderful and loving and totally explain every aspect of the care they are about to give! I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I love everything about St Francis Animal Hospital. First of all, the reception staff is always precise, pleasant and precise. The facilities are immaculate. The techs are so good with my nervous dog that she is now quite calm during visits. And finally, Dr. Polhenke is such a fine caring and careful vet. I trust him completely with my dog. His love and compassion for animals is huge! I am so thankful to him for showing great kindness to my pet.

Since we had a bad experience with our previous Vet, coming here was a welcome change. The Dr. was very attentive and thorough with his exam and explained things perfectly. I applaud your procedures of not having to wait in the waiting room with other pets and not waiting at a front desk for billing. I appreciate the kindness of all the staff.
