Everyone at VCA Olympic Animal Hospital is fantastic; from reception, to the vet techs, to Dr. Dammeyer - and the other vet we saw, Dr. Ryan. We've had our golden retriever a few times in the last year, from a normal yearly checkup, to a pair of emergencies - a split nail and a crazy staph infection that came out of nowhere. Each time, the staff there has been fantastic - greeting us and our dog like we're family, taking care of us like we're family - and never, ever letting us leave without answering all of our questions (in fact. Dr. Ryan was so thorough in his explanation that we almost wanted him to stop talking -- it's one hell of a great "problem" to have -- an animal medical professional who wants to make sure you know exactly what is going on and exactly how they're going to treat it?! It was fabulous!) We're moving soon and we won't have our pets back again, but I can't stress enough how great VCA Olympic has been to us. The prices were very reasonable (especially coming from Denver, where we usually paid about two to three times what we paid here!), the staff friendly, thorough, and you can tell right from the beginning that they really, really care about their patients and their families.
