Marila Veterinary Clinic

I once worked for a great vet for 4 years. Dr. Hess is like him. She is not a corporate vet running a "business." She is an excellent veterinary diagnostician, and she cares about the animals. I totally trust her judgment, and there are not a lot of vets (or doctors) I can say that about. If you want a snazzy new building, this is not your place. If you want a great vet for your animals, you can't do better.

Dr. Hess was always my veterinarian for my hamster, Buddy. She always took great care of him everytime I brought him in. She had always helped Buddy and I feel comfortable whenever we were there. She was very helpful, and honestly, better than any previous vet I have ever gone to with other pets. The environment at the clinic is also very welcoming. One of the cats that are there while the vets are working came to cuddle for a bit and its helped my anxiety a lot while waiting for Buddy. I highly reccomend giving this vet clinic a try.

Dr. Hess is amazing. Our Great Dane had an irreversible pinched nerve and Dr. Hess helped us get him more comfortable and maintained his mobility. He was terrified of non-carpeted floors; the Marila staff made a rug train from the front door all the way to the patient room! And he was in giant-dog heaven laying on the futon in there! It was so great to have someone try to reduce his anxiety like that! Then one day he just stopped getting up and we knew it was time to let him go. Dr. Hess, knowing how stressed out he got with car rides (and acknowledging the fact that lifting him was like lifting a calf), actually OFFERED to make a house call with her assistant. He was able to pass in peace on his bed and we remain so incredibly grateful. To top it all off, they made a paw print in clay for us to remember those big 'ol paws of his.
She continues to care for our toothless cat. They are just a wonderful clinic.

Dr. Hess is an excellent veterinarian. After a diagnosis, she talks through the options and is patient in answering questions. She is low-key and does not pressure clients when they are making difficult decisions. She has effectively treated our dogs and cats with both minor and major illnesses.

Dr. Hess is the best. Even the dogs love her. I have been taking my dogs there for years. She has a way of communicating with them so they trust her.

A no frills solid clinic. Dr. Hess has a unique approach that makes you feel like your pet is hers. No unnecessary vaccines, or expensive lab send outs, she runs titres right in the office. Thank you Dr. Hess.

Great prices for the level of insight and care that goes into the animal’s wellbeing. I always trust them with my animals. The clinic cats are also a great addition when it comes to in lobby jitters.

Friendly staff and doctors. Knowledgeable diagnosis. It's our new home.

Welcoming environment with professional care

Always a great experience

Great people

Was extremely disappointed after seeing only positive reviews. I took my cat here a little while back and walked in to find another cat roaming around the waiting room. While I do love animals, this was extremely distressing for my cat, waiting in his carrier. When he was taken back to the exam room, I could hear him screaming and hissing and the individuals yelling at him while I was in the waiting room. After bringing him back out, while clearly not doing well and very upset (still with another cat roaming around him), the front desk staff proceeded to be extremely condescending towards me as a pet owner due to his “behavior” and made several comments that were rather offensive towards myself and my pet. Very unwelcoming, very unprofessional, and an overall extremely unpleasant experience. I would not recommend and/or want any pet owner to feel the same way I felt after leaving.
