5 stars William T Featured review
When I walked in the receptionist knew my name and a simple update to my account was made without any complications. I had a great cup of coffee, which makes one feel at home. In no time I was taken back for an eye test and soon after saw Dr. Forche'. While my eyes are not the best, I am comforted by the knowledge that my eyesight will be well, and Dr. Forche' was a head of the game in taking care of my vision. Five Points Eye Care Center does not see its patients as numbers, but instead as family. They give personal care with friendly staff.

Mars Hill Animal Hospital
Staff and vets are very personable and willing to help you take better care of your pet. MHAH took my dog in immediately whereas our regular vets would not even see her despite her frightening symptoms (vomiting red blood) on a late Sat night. So, we now have a new vet, a great improvement over our prior vet. Vets and staff are very knowledgeable but they take time to listen to owners. They do not use a lot of medical jargon, shoot straight, and definitely know pet medicine. MHAH has a nice bright waiting area, attractive and comfortable seating, and clean exam rooms; no smelly PineSol or other cleaners that smell like a truck stop men's restroom. I highly recommend MHAH and caution others to check with your current vet to learn if and how your vet handles emergencies on a late Sat night.Read More …
