After some very scarey experiences with my 17yo cat Rascal, Dr. Brunson took my kitty in to try to save his leg. Rascal, my kitty became very sick on a road trip many miles from home. He may have been bitten by a snake. We're not sure. Along the road trip another vet did emergency surgery to remove the skin from his left leg. He required multiple bandage changes and may have still required amputation. Some may have even thought euthanasia would be better. However we were referred to Dr. Brunson who immediately went to work on Rascal. He began to heal slowly. We were traveling so there were many trips back and forth often over 2 hrs each way. I wanted to reach out to your team and let you all know Rascal is doing fantastic. His leg is almost completely healed. We're so incredibly thankful to have found you and will be forever grateful for all you did to help my precious boy.

I want to be clear that this review is NOT about the veterinarian. The doctor has always been thorough, compassionate, and wonderful with my cat. If this review were based solely on his care, it would be five stars. Unfortunately, my experience with the front desk has been the complete opposite. Over several days, I called because my cat, who has a documented history of asthma, was having what appeared to be another flare. I understood that same-day appointments might not be available, but I was hoping for compassion and help navigating my options. I called exactly when the office opened at 9:00 a.m. and was immediately told that all same-day appointments were already gone. I found that surprising given that I called as soon as the phones opened, but I accepted that they were full and tried to explore other options. I asked if my cat could be worked into the schedule, if I could leave him as a drop-off patient, or if there was any type of cancellation list. Every answer was simply "no." I even asked if an exception could be made to place me on a list for the following day because I had already been calling for several days. I was told no, that I would simply have to call again the next morning and hope to get a same-day appointment. I also explained that I was trying to avoid an emergency visit because of the significant cost while still getting my cat appropriate care. I wasn't asking anyone to provide free treatment or perform unnecessary services—I was asking whether there was any reasonable way for an established patient with a known medical condition to be seen. Rather than feeling like someone understood my concern, I left every conversation feeling dismissed and as though I was bothering the front desk simply for calling about my sick pet. The one bright spot was the veterinary technician. She took the time to listen, answered my questions, and gave me practical advice that helped keep my cat comfortable over the weekend. Her kindness and professionalism were greatly appreciated. After being told once again that there was nothing they could do, I contacted another veterinary clinic. They were able to schedule my cat for a same-day appointment without issue. Again, this review is not a reflection of the veterinarian's medical care. It is a reflection of how difficult and discouraging it was to access that care through the front desk. Compassion and communication matter just as much as medical expertise, especially when someone is calling because they are worried about their pet.

Honestly, one of the best veterinary office's I have found in the local area. Dr. Brunson and staff so obviously care about their patients/families, and are very passionate about helping those in their practice and community. They are always there whenever I have a question, or need a refill on my pets' medication. I like that different treatment options, both traditional and naturopathic, are considered, discussed, and offered by the practice. Please don't go anywhere. You are such a great service to the local vet community!

Our 14 1/2 year old lab Bowdie was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor on his muzzle in the spring of 2025. Our regular vet treated him successfully with the Stelfonta injection but unfortunately the MCT came back at a higher grade. They informed us there was nothing else they could do. We started researching alternative treatments but they were unwilling to work with us. It was then I found Dr. Brunson at New Hope Veterinarian Wellness Center. He developed a holistic treatment plan for him and he thrived for several more months. I am grateful to him and his team for giving our boy another chance. I would highly recommend Dr. Brunson and his Wellness Center.

I can't imagine going anywhere else after changing vets to New Hope. The care is just above and beyond. We had to put our sweet 4 yr old golden down today and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to do it. Just amazing. They REALLY CARE about your pet.
