Animal Endocrine Clinic

"Above and beyond. This is the place to go when your cat has hyperthyroidism. Dr Peterson is the most wonderful doctor - he throughly answered all questions and was so understanding when I was hesitant and tearful about leaving my baby there. I must also mention he literally discovered hyperthyroidism in cats in 1979 so he is THE foremost expert. The employees (Sophie, Keara, Xiang!!) are all excellent caregivers, and I felt secure leaving my baby in their capable hands. I received updates twice a day and had access to a live webcam to check on my cat while he was in their facility. A+++++ care, service and everything else. They are the best of the best and I’ so grateful for their expertise and professionalism."

"I loved everything about this place. Dr. Peterson and staff kept me in the loop every step of the way with phone calls, emails and photos every day. The clinic is immaculately clean and with only six cats in the clinic at one time, each cat gets plenty of individual care. I highly recommend Animal Endocrine Clinic to folks who have cats with hypothyroidism."

"The staff here is very friendly and caring. First time here with my boy. I like how they take the safety measures seriously and not have people entering. Upon arrival we have to ring the bell. There is usually someone sitting by the door to assist. Dr. Peterson is a very nice and knowledgeable Dr. I am so happy that he opened a location in the city and so happy my friend referred me to him."

"UPDATE 2021- my cat had a recurrence of hyperthyroidism after being treated at this place in 2018 and died within 3 months of being treated by this doctor for the second time. A few days shortly after he was treated the second time I could sense something was wrong with my cat — I reached out to the facility to see if I could speak to the doctor and was not provided with ANY help. They recently reached out to me again via email for a “yearly checkup” to see how my cat was, unaware that he had passed. When I informed them my cat passed away 3 months after treatment they fell silent. No condolences, nothing. They were very helpful before and during treatment, but once they had my money all of that helpfulness seemed to go away."

"I contacted this vet hospital via email. I live in another state and I desperately needed some help/guidance with my dog. I sent the them a long email detailing my dog’s medical struggles and how I really need Dr Peterson to read the email or I would pay for a video appointment second opinion with him or a name of other vets or vets in the surrounding states closer to my state. After pouring my heart out in this email, I receive this: “Dr. Peterson is currently limiting his practice to the treatment of thyroid disease in cats and dogs, with a primary focus on the proper treatment of feline hyperthyroidism.“ Very cold response. Unprofessional, no signature, no nothing. Their website is extremely misleading if this is in fact true. They didn’t give me any recommendations or help in any way. Guarantee the doctor didn’t read it. You would think vets and vet offices would have more compassion for a dog that is deeply struggling. I emailed this mystery person back and they tell me: “We would recommend contacting your local vet school.” Really? You don’t think if I am emailing someone on the other side of the country I haven’t done that already? I’m emailing you because Dr Peterson is supposed to be the “best” he is supposed to be that doctor who knows Endocrine Diseases and helps people. There is no way that this doctor doesn’t know other vets in his field in any other part of the United States. I thought this was the answer. I thought this vet would have the compassion and kindness I needed. I would have paid a great deal for a 30 minute video chat and I am not a person with the means to do so. I emailed this practice out of desperation and I am beyond disappointed in the response I received. No empathy, no compassion and no help. I would never take my dog to a vet office that shows no sign of caring or willingness to even provide an alternate name. Unbelievable. Disappointed doesn’t even begin to express how I am feeling right now."
