Dr. Hoyme and her staff are top notch. We love the fact that during your appointment, you and your animal are the only ones in the office. During the appointment your pet has their undivided attention. Their compassion towards animals and their owners is amazing. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Hoyme and staff. We have been taking our dogs to them for 7 years, five years ago we moved an hour away from Boone but still continue to drive back to take our dogs to Dr. Hoyme. We tried another vet closer to our home when one of our dogs was sick but quickly made the decision to return to Dr. Hoyme and make the drive even when our pets are not feeling well. We and our dogs feel that it is well worth an hour drive to Blue Ridge Veterinary Clinic. Our dogs love seeing Dr. Hoyme. Their compassion and individualized care could not be replaced. As long as Dr. Hoyme is practicing we will continue to make the drive to have our animals cared for by her and her staff.
