Appalachian New River Veterinary Associates PA

I started going to this vet a very long time ago, before they put themselves under the control of a larger corporation. My pets don’t travel well, so I’ve been using a mobile service for the minor problems they experience, but now that they are getting older they need things that can’t be done at home so I’ve gone back. Dr. Kreis is very knowledgable and very good with anxious cats, and she is willing to spend an enormous amount of time with the cat and on the phone with you, explaining things. Kudos for that. However, the business end of this office, which I have heard is at least in part controlled by the corporation that now owns them, is pretty shady. For example, they tell you to use an online pharmacy (which has competitive pricing) but what they do not tell you is that there is $ 12 «Vet fee» on top of the cost of the meds that they profit from. They also have a pet care plan which they push very hard and which seems like a good deal if you need to have something expensive done anyway (like dental) but everyone you talk to gives you a different price, conditions, benefits, etc. and your pet is not even eligible if there’s anything wrong with them. So medical care, I’d give high grades, but I’m very turned off by the rest and may well check out another local office.

I was referred to Appalachian New River Veterinary Associates by a friend when I first moved to the area. I have always been able to get appointments for my pets easily, and they are given the greatest of care. I would definitely recommend Appalachian New River Veterinary Associates to anyone for their pet needs and care.

I would definitely recommend this vet to anyone, they were extremely friendly from the moment I called to schedule an appointment all the way through the next day when they called to check on my dog to make sure she was okay after her vaccinations. I’m a nervous pet mom, ask more questions then probably necessary and really enjoy a thorough examination. I was met with respect, acknowledgement and friendly explanation to all of my questions and concerns.

Over the years and many dogs that I have brought there, I am so comfortable with the staff and Dr. Kreis always giving me the best advice and care. I have dealt with many good vets over the last 35 years, having many dogs at a time; however, Dr. Kreis is the most knowledgeable and caring of all.

This is the only place in Boone I would trust with my 4 dogs. I would recommend this vet practice 100% to anyone with pets who want a caring staff and Dr. And the best care for you furry friends/​kids.
