Report
I have been going to Dr Scoggs, Dr. Sanders and Dr. Kimbrough for a number of years with my pet cat(s) (RE: "Elvis" then "Sheba: then "Asia" then "Callie" who lived long pampered lives. I took each cat to Capital Veterinarian Clinic. I now have "Katy" who goes to see the veterinarians when needed and for check ups. I am very pleased with their diagnosis, care, cleanliness, customer service and cleanliness. I have no complaingts and would recommend Capital Veterinarian to anyone who wants good care for gheir pets at an affordable price.
