If you are looking for a top-notch vet for your pets, look no further. Orchard Veterinary Medical Center is a peaceful, clean, modern facility with an extremely kind, friendly staff who clearly loves animals. I have taken my pets (rabbit and dogs) to Dr. Knepler for almost a decade because she is professional, knowledgable, honest, and sincere. My husky is fearful, so Dr. Knepler and her staff go out of their way to be patient and gentle while rewarding her with treats. I When my husky broke her tooth chewing on a nylabone, Dr. Knepler was able to bond the tooth instead of extracting it (a less intrusive solution that saves the tooth and is far less painful for the pet). Dr. Knepler never talks down to me or makes me feel like I'm a bad pet owner. She offers knowledgeable advice/suggestions about treatment options but is never pushy about what she thinks I should or should not do. Even though I moved away from Westminster a few years ago, I still drive my dogs over an hour to see her, passing many other veterinarians along the way. I really can't recommend her, her staff, or her facility enough! My dogs give her 5 wags! - Michelle J.

"Wanted to jump in a leave a review for Orchard Veterinary. We absolutely love this Vet. Dr. Fincher is AMAZING and her team is *first class. Everyone single person who works here cares, they've been so amazing to deal with. They go above and beyond EVERY time. They've accommodated us on short notice and even been in-touch during non-business hours. These guys ROCK it. 5 Stars and highly recommended!!!!" - Katie R.



"I can't say enough about the awesome staff and care my dog has received here! Everyone is kind, competent, and compassionate. The costs of services have been totally reasonable. Highly recommended!" - Amy G.



"Such a caring group! They always call to check in my animals the day after appts or shots and spend lots of time with you making sure all your questions are answered." - Amy T.



"Dr. Fincher, Dr. Knepler, and Tiffany are awesome. They've been seeing and caring for my dogs for over 12 years from general basic care through advanced geriatric care, acupuncture, and oncology, from birth to passing of several of my pets, and helped me rescue and rehabilitate an abused and battered older dog a few years back. Over the last 30 years, I've met and dealt with many veterinarians but these distinguished ladys are the best, most compassionate, and caring veterinarians I've had the pleasure to meet and help my family grow." -Jeramy L.



"This was the nicest and most helpful veterinary office I have ever been to. I am pretty picky when it comes to doctors for my family and this office exceeded my expectations. Dr. Mischa and her staff are truly caring individuals. One week under their care and my dog has already shown vast improvement. Highly recommend!"-Sara B.



"We used to take our pets to another place but when their best vets opened Orchard Veterinary, it was obvious that we need to follow. They not only give great care but with elderly pets, they work with you, not trying to push agenda's, but really to provide you and your pets what you need in their last days. If we ever move, we need to convince them to move with us!" - Craig. S.



"Great staff very pleasant and happy when you come in with your fur baby. First visit was very unusual because my dog was happy, the whole time! I have full faith and trust in the vets there! "-Alayna M.
