They will often be more honest if they are giving an opinion privately. Stop and visit by yourself maybe get some general information, maybe a tour. First impressions are important and you will get a feel for staff, cleanliness, organization, and how updated their equipment is. Trust your instincts. Good luck!


I agree about stopping in, asking what services they offer and what equipment they have. You can ask about the anesthesia protocol, experience with small dogs/Yorkies. Then trust your instincts and see how an appointment goes with the vet.

Reviews can be helpful as a starting point, but I will say that the vet's office I left had great reviews. Not every vet is right for every patient. A couple of vets in our area receive great reviews only because their prices are attractive.
