Brianna B.

I made the switch to SAH almost two years ago and honestly I don’t know how I ever went anywhere else. Dr. A & the rest of the staff are absolutely amazing! My two pitties can definitely be a challenge to work on but they’re always so patient and kind. They also squeeze me in whenever I have any emergencies and with an accident-prone pup it’s beyond appreciated. I can’t say enough about this office, the absolute BEST.

Maryam M.

My experience at Sova Animal Hospital was truly exceptional. Dr. BW, the veterinarian, showed remarkable dedication and expertise. She even stayed late to assist with my dogs' needs. Her expertise was evident, and I was impressed to learn that she had just returned from a vet convention. Dr. BW enthusiastically shared the latest advancements in veterinary care, keeping me well-informed about the best practices for my pets. Her passion for her profession and the genuine care she demonstrated made me feel like I was in truly great hands. I trusted her insights and opinions wholeheartedly. Dannie, the technician, Hailey, the practice manager, and Lacey, the receptionist were all equally wonderful. This collective effort made me feel like my pets were in great hands at Sova Animal Hospital. I wholeheartedly recommend them for top-notch pet care.

I can't think of anything to make the experience better! It was a great experience and everyone we dealt with was kind and helpful!!! The staff and doctor were very knowledgeable and kind to our kitty!! We have definitely found our vet and will continue to use Sova in the future.

Rena K.

I have been using Sova Animal Hospital for years. They are always professional. Dr. Sova has always been caring and attentive with all of our pets. Recently we meet Dr.A. for the first time. He was wonderful with Oakley. Sat on the floor with him, as Oakley doesn’t like getting up on the table. I would recommend the office to everyone.

Jennifer Z.

We do not wait long for our appointments, the interior of the building is immaculate. The doctor is very patient, understanding, shares information to help us make informed decisions. The staff is very friendly, helpful and good listeners.

Gabrielle S.

I called Sova Animal Hospital after a terrible experience somewhere else and I am so glad that I did. They were able to accommodate my last minute appointment and helped get my records. They were the most caring individuals I’ve come across. Dr. Bott-Wentworth saw my kitty and did everything that she could to keep him comfortable in his final days. She is knowledgeable, empathetic and you can tell that she genuinely cares for her patients. I am forever grateful.

I just felt the need to express my appreciation for how wonderful this office is! When I used to take my dog to his previous vet, I had to give him trazodone just to calm his anxiety to get routine check ups. Since switching over to Sova about a year ago I haven’t had to give my dog anything to come to the vet. The office itself has such calming energy which I think is first and foremost. Secondly, the staff is so warm, helpful, friendly and truly have such an amazing approach to pet care. My dog is so relaxed when he’s there and Dr. A and his staff are super accommodating with any quirks my dog may have and handle him with the utmost care. Just wanted to say how grateful I am

Ashley B.

Dr. Ammeraal is amazing! He cares so much about the animals. Our dog has heart disease and he always makes sure to listen multiple times just to be sure (she is very wiggly). Other vets we have been to in the past won’t put that much time into the visit. The techs are equally amazing. The staff are so nice and go above and beyond. I highly recommend them.

Nancy B.

Friendly, compassionate and Super Supportive! The Front Desk Staff, Assistant Staff and Super Smart Vets are easy to trust! The Sova team understands what a pet means to his/her Family and treats them the way you would. I've been going to Dr. Ammeraal and Team for about 10 years. Love Them!

From the moment we walked into the office the staff was very attentive. From clerical to the knowledgeable staff, nurses and doctor; Luna got the best care. My mind was set at ease as every step of what needed to be done was explained to me in full. I am so thankful to everyone there. Luna is home and healing thanks to the care at Sova Animal Hospital.
