"Highly recommend Cornerstone Animal Hospital. Dr. Loden is fantastic and truly cares about the health of your fur babies. We’ve got two Frenchie babies and when our first one was spayed she ended up with a hernia and they had to preform emergency surgery late at night. Dr. Loden is there day or night, his words were “if you can’t get me after 10, keep calling until I wake up”. You can’t find that just anywhere. Our second baby just got spayed and when she got home we were a little concerned about her incision site, we sent some pictures in and they made us come back in just to be sure since you can’t tell much from a picture. He wanted to make sure 100% everything was okay. This place truly cares about your pets. "

"Cornerstone Animal Hospital is wonderful! I have brought my girl Stevie here since she was 9 weeks old. Stevie was a rescue and had no shots when I got her. Cornerstone was very quick to get us in and to get the shots she needed as well as all the testing done to make sure Stevie didn’t have parvo or anything like that going on. I then got Stevie spayed here as well, the surgery went very smoothly, the post-op care instructions were very clear and Dr. Stroud answered any questions that I had. Dr. Stroud is wonderful and I have nothing but positive things to say, she is such a light! Today I brought Stevie back as she was having some bowel movement issues and we saw Dr. Loden for the first time. He was very pleasant and made me feel like my concerns were heard and valued. I see a lot of negative reviews on here and wanted to provide a positive experience. You cannot go wrong with bringing your pet here, they care for them as they are their own. "

"This animal clinic is probably the sole reason why i still am getting to spend time with my sweet 11 y/o cat right now. We called on a monday and asked about her symptoms and if we could get an appointment. They booked us for one the next day, and took such wonderful care of my baby. I really appreciate the way the nurse and the vet were able to talk to me seriously about what was going on and what they were going to have to do for my cat. They had to hold her overnight and run tests (just because she was so nervous) and were very diligent with getting back to us the next day with the results they’d come up with. They are not able to diagnose serious, serious things here, such as heart disease or cancer. But they are able to give you their very best advice and treatment with seemingly much love and care for the animals they care for. My world personally has unfortunately flipped upside down, but i can wholeheartedly say that these kind people saved my cats life that day and provided me with more time with her. And i cannot thank them enough. Prices were a little high (1000 up front to run tests on her) but truly there is no price on your animals life. I would trust them again to take care of her or any other animals in my life in a heartbeat. "
