Testimonials

  • Today was my first time going to this vet. I had the most amazing experience. The staff was so sweet and listened to everything I had to say. Dr Gordon took his time to speak with me and just address everything I brought up. They were gentle with my kitten and showered her with love. I definitely recommend this vet to anyone looking for a new one. They have made me a returning customer after today! Thank you South 40!

  • South 40 Vet is an excellent facility with very caring staff. Our older Westie was gravely ill last December, and Dr. Lee diagnosed and treated her back to health. He saved her life! Now at 13 1/2 years old, she acts and looks younger, due to the ongoing medical regimen and diet that he has her on. Thanks, Dr. Lee!

  • Love love love Dr. Lee. He cared for our fur baby during an emergency situation. Went above and beyond. The staff brings you in and treats you like family. We’ve never been rushed out of a room or had a question go unanswered.
