Comment: "top recommendation to anyone in the area. I've been seeing them for years, for 13 different rats and one elderly sick cat. They've done spaying & neutering, tumor removal (including on the face of a dwarf rat) X-rays, even a ultrasound once for a particularly tricky girl. Whether it's a easy problem like sniffles or lice treatment or a complicated chronic issue, I trust thier compassionate vets to give the best care. Dr. Ann Barksdale in particular is a wonderful and experienced vet, who is willing to listen to any concerns or ideas for treatment I might have. In my experience, the staff at Pine Point always gives their all and never once have I felt that anyone thought any of my pets were "just a rat". They might not be the cheapest option in the area, but thier pricing is still fair the quality of care is top notch."

Comment: "They’ve always taken such amazing care of my rats and really listened to me and their symptoms. They always make sure that my Rattatas needs are met. At one point they no longer had a a small vet and the vet who owns the practice is highly allergic. But he geared up and saw my babies anyway while he was in the process of getting someone hired. When it comes to the unfortunate point where I need to let them go, one time, every vet tech and doctor got something from their lunches and made sure that my baby had the best last meal of her life. Oh, they’re so amazing and really love my babies. I can’t say enough good things about them."
