Dr. Brooks is very straight forward, caring, hes an excellent general vet, but also a fantastic surgeon, and is very reasonably priced for such great service!! The hour trip to his office from my home is well worth it!! I had to have my dog put to sleep a couple weeks ago, and that was the only place that I felt comfortable having it done! Its one thing to be with your pet and take them to the vet and see whats going on! Its a complete other thing to have the trust in that vet and their staff to not only ease you through the euthanasia, but to follow your last wishes for your animal once you are gone! Do not hesitate to bring your pets to Powder Ridge!!
