We live in Rio Rancho and use Dora Cressy. She is located near the Smiths on 528. Her office is small, she is the only vet in the office and if surgery is necessary she uses Northwest Animal Clinic. The vet at NWAC, Mike Reigger is the best but his bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired. We went to him for years and I finally decided it was time to find someone more understanding. When my dog needed surgery I was relieved to hear that Dr Cressy operates at NWAC because I think it says a lot for her experience because knowing Mike, he wouldn't have that relationship with someone HE didnt respect.
We used Dr Abernathy when my turtle got hurt and he was the only vet who would see him afterhours and he was very good. My only complaint about him is that each follow up we had to make for the turtle there was a charge (our vet doesnt charge for the post op follow up visits) and, more importantly for me with four small kids, the wait time at Abernathy was so long everytime I went there! I dont think we had an appointment that was under an hour wait time. I would go back to him for the turtle because I dont think Dr Cressy does exotics, but for our dogs and cats I will stick with Dr Cressy and her smaller, more personal practice.
