Circle of Friends Veterinary

As of November 2024, they've moved! They're just down the street from their old location, in a plaza next to Ace Hardware. There's ample parking here, which was always an issue at their old location. I have mixed reviews about Circle of Friends. Most technicians, Dr. Yasso, and Dr. Connelly have been kind but the clinic is busy and they are often booked out for weeks in advance. I love Dr. Yasso and her work in the rescue community, their *usually* conservative treatment approach, and their pricing is more than fair. That said, I fear they are starting to get too busy. They did just add back Dr. Meinert but I didn't find her to be as personable as Dr. Y and C. Some of the newer techs aren't as friendly either. Our primary vet and a receptionist forgot I had put one of my dogs down even though it was done at their clinic just a month ago. At another visit, I brought one of my dogs in for a vaccine appointment with a technician but they trimmed her nails instead. Not only that, they nicked her, she was bleeding, and nobody told me. Callbacks regarding lab work usually take 1-2 weeks and sometimes multiple follow-ups from me. I mostly like it here and don't really want to leave. But some things are starting to add up...

I have been coming here for years with my aussie and the doctors here are so compassionate, knowledgeable and dedicated to your pets health. The staff is always so friendly and I do not know what I would do without them!

I love everyone there including the front desk who are all very helpful and professional. My Vet Is Dr. MEINHART, She's fabulous. Spent a good amount of time during our appointment explaining every detail etc. My new Pet Izzy loved her too

Dr. Yasso is the best! I've been taking my dogs here for almost 15 years and I know and trust we get the best possible support and care possible. I've been to various other veterinary offices - but Circle of Friends is hands down the best. I would give 10 stars if I could.

This is our 5th dog with Circle of Friends, and Dr Yasso. So going back over 25 years now. Our current dog has serious pain issues. Dr Yasso was able to see him, diagnose him, and treat him quickly. If it were not for her, and her staff, other amazing vets there as well, Rocco would likely not be with us today. We were ready to put him down, she worked out a plan, without surgery, to ease his pain, to manage his flareups. Without unnecessary and expensive tests, she has been at this a longtime, she touches the dog. Sure, tests when needed, but she understands needs and costs. Circle of Friends is the first place you should call when you need vet help. The entire staff is exceptional. Rocco, and our entire family thank you.

Very friendly and compassionate staff. Dr Yasso is very knowledgeable. I'm glad they were here when it was time for my boy to cross over the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈

I can't speak highly enough if the Circle of Friends crew! They are the most compassionate and friendly staff at a veterinary practice that I've experienced. All of the staff actually takes the time to get know your pets because they really care. Dr Yasso worked with us for months on the best treatement for our pointer, who was diagnosed with a malignant mass cell tumor. She supported us every step of the way and was open to any and all questions we had. She was also able to fit us in for many emergency visits, and best of all, she was supportive and comforting through the hard times. Also, shout out to Theodora and Gina for always bringing us joy, joking with us, and loving on our pups, Ruger and Whiskey!
