Don't let the homey atmosphere of this clinic fool you. Seven Locks Animal Hospital has very sophisticated equipment, and the knowledge to go with it. I always wonder whether I should go with an old vet (or dentist, for that matter), who has a lot of experience, or a young one, with the latest training. Dr. Popa is a good combination of both. He's been a vet for a long time. He has the common sense and good instincts that come with experience. But he also has recent training in a bunch of specialties. If you're pet has something serious, he'll tell you what he thinks it is but then will refer you to a specialist for confirmation. I went to two specialists he recommended. He conferred with them after my appointments so we were all on the same page. They spoke highly of Dr. Popa, so I chose to have him do the surgery. It was a lot cheaper, but mostly I wanted the continuity. My last two vets recommended treatments and supplements that I suspected were unwarranted. Never got that from Dr. Popa. His prices seem quite reasonable, too. More importantly, I trust him.

Great vet, great staff. Took my dog here for 3 years and was always happy. He always looks for non-prescription remedies when possible.

Solo dog ownership happened rather unexpectedly and left me at a total loss for how to properly handle my dog's health. I brought him in to SLAH worried about my dog, who had started limping, and generally overwhelmed. However, Dr. Popa was supportive and kind throughout the process of identifying what my dog's issue was and walking me through the basics of pet ownership. It has now been almost a year since the first visit- dog is just fine and this owner is way less stressed knowing that we both have a solid support system at SLAH when things come up. Thank you SLAH and Dr. Popa for making an otherwise overwhelming task seem more manageable and doing it with smiles on your faces!

Great office and wonderful vet, highly recommended.

Very knowledgeable and kind staff!
