Richard F Rodger DVM

Dr. Rodger is very helpful and caring vet. His office is small — just him and his office person — but it makes for a very warm personal care experience.
He has taken care of my two dogs — an eleven year old Lab and a 1 year old Lab — for a few years now. The quality of his service and his knowledge is very strong. He does their annual check ups and give them immunizations. He spayed by younger dog and gives the older dog acupuncture her for arthritic sore back — it works really well (I was a sceptic, but the dog can visibly walk better once he treats her.) I’ve had some complicated problems too — once my dog managed to eat a people prescription pill and he was able to quickly determine what to do and help her.
His prices are competitive — not super cheap but comparable — but more importantly, I feel like he does no load on questionable extra fees or nickel and dime me for everything.
Generally he can see me quick — same day — if I call with an immediate need. He does have some late afternoon appointments which work well for me as a person with a full time job. His office is clean and well equipped.
I’ve seen vets in the past with larger offices, a bigger staff and more expensive upscale buildings, waiting rooms etc. I don’t think the care I got there was better, just more expensive. Plus I always got the feeling those places were a little to ready to suggest some extra test that might not be needed.
In contrast, with Dr. Rodgers I feel like I am getting quality care and quality time from a professional who had the best interest of me and my pets in mind.
I «wag my tail» for Dr. Rodgers… hope that is not too silly :)
