Always friendly, and quick to respond! They remember both myself and my pets every time we come in, and they do a great job keeping them as healthy as possible.

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.

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!
