Thank You for Your Kind Words!

Thank you for making Aurora Animal Hospital one of the highest-rated veterinary hospitals in Fairbanks, AK.

Such a wonderful practice—the best I’ve ever had my fur babies seen at. All staff, from the front desk to the technicians to the veterinarians themselves, are all so wonderful and truly care about their patients. Everyone is always outgoing and handles everything with pure care. The most outgoing, caring team of people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Thank you all for everything you did for me and for the care you provided to my babies. I will always recommend Aurora Animal Hospital. This is the best veterinary hospital in town and the best I’ve taken my fur babies to in any state.

My dogs are family! They have been treated like family at Aurora for both routine and surgical procedures, in addition to rehabilitation therapy. We like that they can get all these services from one familiar clinic. The staff are kind, understanding and professional. We are immensely pleased with the care they have received at Aurora.
