So I've been going to Mosquito Creek on Marine Drive for a while now and it's solid. Dr. Crook and Dr. Hughson are the ones who've stuck around—Crook does acupuncture and laser therapy if your dog needs that kind of thing, which honestly has made a difference for older dogs with joint issues. The vibe when you walk in is calm, which matters because dogs pick up on that. They've got a dog bench in the exam rooms that's actually tall enough that bigger dogs can hop up on it instead of getting lifted, and they let you stay in the room during the consultation so you're not left wondering what's happening.

Fair warning though: a few people mentioned the front desk can be scattered, so call ahead before showing up. They want to confirm they're taking new clients and check availability. The place is on the north side of Marine Drive near Inter River Park, so it's easy enough to find.

I'd recommend asking for Dr. Crook or Dr. Hughson specifically if it matters for what you need. The staff actually knows what they're talking about and they're not rushing through appointments. Some reviews mentioned they've made decisions without asking first, so just be clear about what you want done—communicate what you expect upfront and it goes smoother. Overall it's the kind of clinic where the team treats the animals like they matter, not just another appointment to bill.
