Goldsmith Veterinary Clinic

Every person at goldsmith provides exceptional care. My cats are currently seen by Dr McKenzie Kohler who is experienced, knowledgeable and very kind. Shelby is long haired and came in with some hair mats in her private area and they were able to quickly and painlessly get her groomed. Thanks as always!

I have a very nervous 6 month old puppy who was terrified coming in for her first annual exam. The staff were incredibly patient and spent as much time as needed to show her that she was safe. We were able to get through the exam and vaccines at her pace without forcing her into anything she wasn’t able to handle. At the end of what turned into a very long visit at the end of the work day, they still took the time to answer all of my questions and discuss a plan for making her as comfortable as possible for future visits.

I've been bringing my dog in for all her annual and emergency needs. The staff is so happy to see my girl, and everyone is always pleasant and understanding. Dr. Lindsey Norberg is a delight, always willing to spend extra time explaining things and answering my questions, and I can tell she loves my dog like I do. I never feel like I'm being sold things that aren't necessary for my dog's wellbeing. I'd highly recommend Goldsmith.

The staff is always very friendly and helpful. They do a great job of keeping us on track with required vaccinations without upselling. The vets are extremely knowledgeable and my dog loves to see everyone there. She’s always excited on arrival.

We have had five dogs of our 7 cared for by Goldsmith Vet going all the way back to the early 90s. They have been awesome in taking care all of our dogs and giving us great feedback, care and treatment. More than that, they are dog people (because that is what we own) and people people. Their love of all animals shows. All of the docs are great but Dr. Norberg is one of the best docs I know. All of their staff is awesome. We have been very pleased with all of our treatment and interaction with Goldsmith Vet. We currently have two black labradors in their care. I highly recommend them for your pet.

We rescued our Goldendoodle two years ago and since then have been consistently amazed and reassured by the care Goldsmith provides our family. From annual checkups, a bout of kennel cough, and a terrifying health scare, they have have given Ollie 5 star care through it all. We can truly call them for ANYTHING and their recommendations are always spot on. Ollie is also SO calm around all the staff and I can tell he feels safe, no matter how many times we have to visit. Thank you for caring for Oliver and for recognizing he’s an irreplaceable part of our family! We are so very grateful to Goldsmith Vets!!!!

I brought my 16 year old dog in for an evaluation due to suspected heart failure. After a chest xray and lab draw (pending results), I was reassured multiple times that she was going to "be fine" and that her condition could be managed by getting her out of heart failure. Based on those assurances and no other reasoning to be concerned per the vet, I agreed to proceed with medical management of the heart failure. I questioned given her age and decline in kidney function if this was the appropriate plan given her age, requesting only comfort for her and quality of life. I again was reassured she would "be fine" with extreme enthusiasm. Less than 24 hours later, I came home to find my dog had died, probably suffering with her breathing, all alone. She had prior kidney damage and now suspected much more severe heart failure, and I strongly feel I was not given an honest or realistic understanding of her prognosis considering her age and condition. Furthermore, when reading the medical records I requested, it was noted that the option to see a cardiologist was discussed (which I did decline), but also which was NOT discussed but documented by vet in the records was the option to admit overnight which she stated I declined. Of course I would've done this if it was offered, suggesting this issue is more severe than just a routine medication fix. Had I been properly informed of the severity of her health status and likelihood of rapid decline, I would have chosen her to be admitted over night, but since l wasn't, peaceful euthanasia so I could have been present with her and prevented unnecessary suffering. There was failure to appropriately communicate the seriousness of my dog's condition and end-of-life options which makes me question the integrity of the provider. Was I a bill? Why wasn't | given the full picture and the option to decide which choice to choose to have the final moments with my baby? I was heart broken to say the least and I will forever remain with the guilt that I didn't speak up more for my dog to give her the best options for comfort with her overall health picture. Disclaimer, since I would pay all the money to have my dog back, I still would like to add I paid a substantial amount of money ($878) for false reassurance. I can however say I was reimbursed for the meds which cost $200 which she only had 1 dose of because she died before I could even fully treat her.
