When my golden retriever developed a huge and quickly-doubling mast cell tumor, I sought Dr. Jackson's care and started reading journal articles that were very grim. Dr. Jackson was careful to run pre-op tests to ensure that my beloved dog was not already metastatic, which would have been important to consider in planning for my dog's care. Those tests showed no spread of disease, thus Dr. Jackson performed surgery and removed the entire tumor--it was huge--and a lymph node, which was negative. The large incision healed beautifully, and Dr. Jackson and his staff were superlative in every dimension of care: clinical expertise and ongoing care, communication, and compassion. Now I watch like a hawk for any new lumps so that quick intervention can keep my best friend in my life for as long as possible. Dr. Jackson and his staff are FANTASTIC!!

Dr. Jackson had been my primary vet for a few years. His staff is very friendly, but the doctor himself leaves more to be desired. About two weeks ago, we brought my nine-year old dauschund to Dr. Jackson's office because her eye was swollen. He dodged any questions my family asked and gave her simple antibiotics. We scheduled for a few of her teeth to be pulled because they were rotting, and since she hadn't been spayed, we decided it would be easier to have that done while she was under for the teeth cleaning and pulling. Dr. Jackson said this COULD be done and scheduled the procedure for the next day.



We picked her up after her surgery and we noticed that she was breathing very heavily. Jackson said this was "post-operative" and would not answer any questions we had. When our dog was home, she suffered until she died on my lap at 1am in the morning.



In short, my family believes that Jackson knew she was going to die. He never told us the risk of putting an old dog on anesthesia and dodged our questions about her condition. I will never take any of my other pets back to this vet office ever again.

Dr. Jackson is a gentle giant, he's not much of a social talker, but he's a serious veterinarian who knows his stuff. I would recommend all of my friends to him, it's not a fancy place, but it's a loving and clean environment, and you and your pets will be treated like family. I especially love the fact that Dr. Jackson personally does the follow-up calls himself, and not the techs!

Dr Jackson is a 2nd generation Veterinarian, who is recommended even by other vets for his surgical skills. He personally follows up after surgery by phone to check on the status of his patient, that's not you, but your pet. With at least one of my pets he gave us hope where other vets didn't. I have a cat with CRF, whose testing indicated she might not live long, he said we treat based on the individual animal and not tests or numbers. That cat has been alive for years since her diagnosis and has a decent quality of life with home care. Dr. Jackson is willing to listen to alternative treatment and offer clinical trial medicine in specific instances. The entire staff is caring in treating animals with lengthy diseases, I've had a few feral cats with diseases, and in dealing with their mum. If your pets are part of your family, this is where you want to take them, a skilled and caring Doctor. He was once in who's who and is probably better educated than my last dentist.

I've been to other Vets offices where I was told by an animal owner that for eye surgery that other Vet had recommended Animal Medical Clinic, Dr. Jackson is a 2nd Generation Vet, DVM. He was in Who's Who one year.



An animal lover helped me save a family of feral cats. They were sickly, but lived decades after I found them with the help of this clinic. 2 Clinics turned down care for

the mother cat when she formed a tumor. Another Vet told would me it wouldn't be worthwhile to operate on her.



Dr Jackson operated without hesitation.. He removed all the tumor, the biopsy showed it was cancerous. She healed very quickly despite a violent reaction to wearing the head tent and had many years of health before growing a 2nd tumor. The 2nd surgery was just as successful, with a clean quick healing. Unfortunately, within a month the cancer metastasized. The Doctor always followed up himself after surgery. From what I've seen he's a gifted animal surgeon.



Both of her grown kittens needed special care. The staff was caring and helped me

provide that care. Of the many animals who I had to put down at end of life, and I always waited until they told me they were in too much pain, the Doctor performed the task quickly, with compassion.



My last cat is like my child after 21 years, both the staff and Dr. Jackson have been

patient and helpful when she was diagnosed with CRF suddenly after eating a

small amount of the tainted melamine cat food.



The place to go if you care about your animal like they are family!

Dr. Jackson is an excellent caring physician.
