My baby boy needed specialized procedures for lifelong urinary problems. The staff here treated him like family and fixed him up even better than he was before. I’m so grateful for everyone there and this establishment that celebrates Dr. Balonek’s legacy.

Just took our Lulu to Dr. Licata. Such a kind and patient vet and took slot of time with us. Very confident in her diagnosis and treatment and we are very lucky to have her caring for our pup. Wish she did humans, too!

This office was amazing. The most caring staff ever. Every word they spoke was of pure love for animals. Dr. Licata was amazing. So gentle. My cat showed no fear with her or her techs. He could sense their gentleness.

Dr. Licata is incredibly knowledgeable and a great listener. Her passion for her patients is clear, and she makes you feel like your pet is the only one she’s seeing that day. The prices are also very reasonable!

I am so grateful for Dr. Licata and her staff!! She went above and beyond to save my dog from a potentially life threatening obstruction. Her thorough attention and after care are unmatched. I would absolutely recommend her services.

Let me tell you. The team here is amazing. My dog is a nervous but friendly girl and when she comes here she’s wagging her tail. They are able to do everything I have needed for her and always address my concerns. They are also very reasonable in price.
