Very friendly staff and Vets. They diagnosed our pets issues and explained everything very well. I would highly recommend them for you to take your pet to for their health care needs.
Everyone from the receptionist, the techs, the veterinarian are the best. So friendly and compassionate makes for a great experience. My cat was just treated there and they were so good with her and trying to make her not feel scared. I can not say enough good things about Nickerson Animal Health Center.

We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience at Nickerson Animal Health Center. Thank you immensely for sharing your feedback.
couldn't recommend them more. I have a very hyper but super friendly dog and they were amazing with her (I've had bad experiences at other vets with her where the staff seems annoyed with her). Even my dog was more comfortable and seemed way more calm. Everyone from the lady's at the front desk to the Vets were all around wonderful people. I also love that they go over the cost of everything before they do it to make sure you can afford it!

I have been with Nickerson since I can remember. I have had Dr. Merlee for the past 12 years or so. He is the most compassionate vet that I know. He takes his time and will go over all your concerns with your pet. The whole staff is awesome and friendly.
Nickerson Animal Health Center does an excellent job addressing the needs of my puppy and provides great care! Dr. Keith Merle is an outstanding veterinarian, and his staff is extremely kind and helpful. I have been taking my dogs to Nickerson Animal Health Center for more than 25 years. I highly recommend them!
They are kind, caring, thorough. They give you all the facts and options and allow you to make your best choices. I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone. I wish I had gone to them earlier on. Other places we received good care, I had no complaints. Here its been excellent.

Thank you for your kind words, Bob-linda! Please give extra love to your pet from us.
Took my dog in for what started as kennel cough that transitioned to low grade pneumonia. Not common in a young, vaccinated dog, but can happen. Dr. Merhle & the rest of the staff were wonderful. Even though they are extremely busy, they were able to squeeze us in a few times over the course of a few weeks since he wasn't responding to treatment like he should. Everyone on staff was friendly, compassionate, and helpful!
Business response:
Thank you for your kind compliments, Jennifer! We love visits from you and your family and appreciate you trusting us with your pet's care.
The medical staff are very thorough with her and very kind. They have helped her to overcome being afraid of the office. Always answer all my questions. I never feel rushed.
Business response:
We love hearing that your pet enjoys their visits with us as much as we enjoy seeing you all. See you next time!
