Reviews for Hawkins Richard W Dvm - Colony Park Animal Hospital:
CPAH has been great in helping me keep my dog healthy. When he needed to lose weight, they had great advice. When he was struggling with his arthritic knee, they helped with that. When he was injured, they gave him loving and compassionate care. You can tell they love the pets they tend to, and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I used to say I'd like to go there if I got sick as it's so much nicer at Colony Park Animal Hospital than any people hospital I've visited. My Ms. Kitty and I were there early mornings three times a week for many years for subcutaneous fluids and I saw all kinds of people and animals in the lobby over that time. Everyone was treated carefully and kindly, people and animals alike. Of course I'm crying now as I have no need to go there anymore since August 5, 2007 and I wish I did. I send thanks and a hug to each person who works there, especially Dr. Hughes who was my baby's special doctor many years for many illnesses and helped her live a longer and more comfortable life.

I found Colony Park when I was looking for a vet to do a progesterone test on my girl in preparation for an artificial breeding. I not only found a clinic that could do this for me, the vet took her lunch break to do it!.I found them so helpful that I went back to have an ultrasound done to see if my girl was pregnant. She was, and again they got me in and taken care of on the exact day we needed.A week before puppies were due, we had an ex-ray done - digital no less so I could take a copy home with me as well.The whole staff came in to see puppies the day we went in for dewclaws and puppy check at 2 days of age - 8 puppies!!I ended up switching vets because of their awesome service. I can't say enough great things about the clinic, its staff, and in particular Dr. Suzanne Hughes.

So far, I've been helped by 3 different vets with 3 different assistants and met the groomer and extremely friendly office staff...and I'm ectsatic! Finally, capable and caring all in one place!
Never, in the last 20+ years of using vet services, have I had the thorough and smart care Colony Park offers. Dr. Hughes, Klaitman, and McKinney have all been competent, analytical and compassionate with my babies! Be it wiley dogs, young independent kitties, or oldie girls their staff restrains and treats mine as I would and better. They had ideas regarding my scared one's behavior and allowed him time to approach, using positive reinforcement without any direction from me. This was his best visit in his lifetime at a vet.
I have yet to meet 2 other doctors but I'm sure they're just as great. I've used grooming once and the results were beautiful and crisp. Even lines, clean, just what I asked for, and she praised when my boy behaved and was patient when he was difficult.
Whenever I call, the staff act as though they're happy to hear from me, and I think they truly enjoy their job. So rare to get people that genuinely care and understand.
btw, I joined after FOUR people referred me. Strong positives from all.
