Our Doctor’s Pledge to You
Hello! I’m Paula Sommerville, DVM and I’d like to personally welcome you to our web site. Since 1999, over 10,000 of your friends, neighbors and colleagues have entrusted us with their pets’ care. We’d love to meet you, too!
Here’s what to expect when you bring your pets to Companion Veterinary Hospital (click paws to read more):
I hand pick our receptionists, veterinary assistants and licensed technicians with three qualities in mind: friendliness, compassion and medical skill.
Our clients expect–and deserve–a happy, helpful staff every time they visit. There are no “Debbie Downers” here … just an empathetic team who’ll do everything they can to get you and your pets taken care of efficiently!
— Paula Sommerville, DVM
We go out of our way to meet your expectations by:
- Making sure we get your and your pet’s name correct
- Providing estimates for services before they’re rendered
- Giving you treatment options to match your budget
- Doing what we say we’ll do (we’ll call you back when we said we would!)
And if we make a mistake (hey–it happens to all of us), we’ll do everything in our power to make it right.
— Paula Sommerville, DVM
I invite you to browse our site for a while, starting with the Testimonials section. There you will find actual handwritten praise from our many satisfied clients. I am proud to say that we’ve helped many people and pets through good times and bad.
We plan to help many more, including (if we are lucky) YOU. Please give us a call at (360) 455-8090 to set up an appointment today! Thank you and we look forward to seeing you.
— Paula Sommerville, DVM
