Dr. Jace King & Andrea
We just wanted to say thank you for taking such good care of Maddy. Although we only met briefly. You guys made us feel as comfortable as possible at such a terrible time as possible at such a terrible time for us. Thank you for making Maddy as comfortable as possible when she was in so much pain. We truly appreciate you easing her suffering. In the future, should we decide to get another member of the family, we will for sure be seeing you again
Thanks Again! The Brower Family

Dear Washington Vet Clinic Staff and most especially Dr. King, Dr. Barton and Teresa.
There are no words to express our profound gratitude over your saving K.C.'s life on Friday. We were strangers to you - yet you treated us with excellence and compassion unsurpassed. Dr King - you ran out to the car and carried "Little" K.C. in your arms and within seconds re-started his stopped heart. Keeping a cool head on a critical situation then you and Dr. Barton performing emergency surgery with such perfection, and Teresa in the meantime being my soothing angel of mercy and holding me while I sobbed. Your vet techs keeping us informed throughout and then even following us over to the emergency vet to carry K.C. gently inside. I could go on and on about your kindness and expertise. We will never forget you and thank God for you.
Sincerely Larry, Judie & K.C. Weiss

We are the Peterson's from Minnesota. We had the misfortune of needing vet services on Friday, January 29th for our 11 year old Maltese, Riley. After making a few calls in the St. George area with no luck getting in we were referred to you. Making the call we were told to come in and even though it was busy, a Dr. would be able to take a look. Afraid we were going to leave our little Riley in Utah. Well, you guys took charge and before long we had a course of action and treatment to at least help us get back to Minnesota with my little pal to see his Dr. and make a decision at that time what to do next. With you help, I am pleased to tell you Riley is doing just fine, back to the mouthy little trouble maker he was before he got sick last week. Looking at him now you would never know it. Our Dr. here seems to think it was a kidney infection again, which is what he had when first diagnosed with diabetes, and credits you with hydration and antibiotics for the trip home. Having never been in your office before and being from out of town, we had everything against us and you treated us like we were almost daily visitors to your facility. You could have told us like a few others did, that you were too busy to squeeze us in but the never turn customers away attitude pulled us through. We would like to personally thank Dr. Barton for your knowledge in animal medicine. Andrea, for your understanding during the interview and initial exam. Lauren & Austin for explaining the things we needed to do once we go out and on our way back to Minnesota in terms we could understand and not in medical jargon. Also, making sure we had the supplies we would need.
Thank You
Kenny & Elaine Peterson

Steve & "Oreo"
Dr. Barton, thanks for making my life easy when it comes to bringing Luke in to the see you! Although, I think he may have a crush! I am convinced it's a crush . . . or those treats are doggone divine! But how could any four-legged creature resist? In all seriousness, thanks for providing Luke and me the finest. most complete pet care available . . . with a lot of love. I have seen a lot of vets in the past and your genuine love and care is truly rare.
Jennifer & "Hershey"
Thanks to the Drs and professional staff at Washington Family Veterinary Clinic. I feel like you all truly love what you do! Every time I come in to see you, both me and my kitten have had such a pleasant experience. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable--I'm really impressed! Ever since I moved to St. George you have made me feel so welcome to the area and to your family.
Jack & "Jill"
Thanks Dr. King for your loving and professional care for our newest family member! We appreciate you and your staffs' genuine concern for all our pets for the past 10 years. We have always felt like we have been treated as part of the Washington Family Veterinary Clinic family. Its so reassuring to know that we don't have to worry when we leave our dog for medical treatment or a boarding stay. Thank you so much!
The Johnson Family & "Magic"
I think the world of Dr. Barton. Not only does the dr and team at Washington Family Veterinary Clinic provide the best veterinary care possible, but also unmatched personal service and of course lots of love! I trust you with my most precious posessions...and refer all my friends and family to Washington Family Veterinary Clinic.
Thanks so much to all of you!
Maya, "Amor & Abrazo"
Dr. King has taken exemplary care of our family's pets for several years, and we have been extremely pleased with the caliber of care we have been provided. We always feel questions are welcome, and Dr. King spends whatever time is required to provide answers, whether we are in the office or just speaking on the telephone. Somehow Dr. King manages to remember our pets' strengths and weaknesses among all of her other patients. When one of our pets is ill, Dr. King makes every effort to calm our fears while treating our pet in a gentle loving manner.
Dr. King phoned our home on more than one occasion inquiring as to the condition of an ailing pet, indicating genuine caring and concern, as well as willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty.
We are extremely grateful to Dr. King for providing years of quality care to our beloved babies. Dr. King's loving and understanding way makes us feel we have found the best veterinarian and new friend.
The Yoshino Family, "Sushi & Miso"
What a great moment! Jay, the owner received the biggest hug and kiss from his dog John Luke after he had been hospitilized a few days here at the Clinic. They were so grateful for the care and service and extremely happy to see their friend back to normal.

Dear Staff
Thank you for all the care and compasion shown Caps these last months. Each and every one of you have been wonderful. You treated Chaps with love and dignity. Especially, please accept my deepest gratitude for helping us through the process of putting chaps down. We've never felt such love and understanding. You helped that process to be dignified and deserving of respect. I could not have gone through it without you. You are all angels of mercy. I love you all.

KIND THOUGHTS
Everyone should have a best friend. Faithfully my best friend greeted me at the door, made me smile, helped me get through my husbands death, took each step by my side when I injured both legs. We had a bond few share. Last week I held my best friend in my arms as he took his last breath. He was 12 years old. I am devastated. This was the most difficult decision I've ever made. Without the loving compassionate care we were provided by Dr. Jace King and his staff at the Washington Family Veterinary Clinic, I could not have endured the procedure. Dr. King listened to my frantic calls a couple of times a week as well as on Christmas Eve and Mother's Day. He has always been there for my best friend. I want to express my deepest appreciation for all he has done and his infinite patience. You're one awesome vet. Thanks Dr. King.

Dear Dr. King
The KIND THOUGHTS that was posted in the St. George Spectrum Newspaper is the most positive endorsement that anyone could use as proof that "compasionate care" is not just a phrase carelessly used. You, Dr. Barton and your staff are the most caring professionals that have come together to form Washington Family Veterinary Clinic. Pet lovers are fortunate to have such wonderful care available and, for those strays that find their way to the doors of your facility, they are also given equal, compassionate care.
May God's blessings be upon all of you for the excellence of care you always provide.
Sincerely,
Bob & Tess Mahlstedt
