Testimonials


Very happy with the care and service we received from Dr. Brophy and his staff. Clear and concise explanation of procedure and cost.
Our dog has been to AERA for two surgeries, and both were very good experiences.

Pet parent

We’ve had to visit AERA several times over the past six years. Every time we felt like they cared about our pets and were well organized in evaluating and treating their emergency visits. We are grateful to have such a world-class facility when we need it. Thank you to all the wonderful and caring staff! You make such a difference to these little lives and to the people who love them.

Pet parent

Probably one of the best places for animal care in the area. The doctors were very knowledgeable and kind during a rough time. If the time ever comes to get another dog, I will come here first with any issues at all.

Pet parent

During one of the scariest moments of my life, the staff at AERA made me feel comfortable that my dogs were in the right place and in safe hands. They were professional, informative, compassionate, and so loving towards my babies. I’ve been to a few animal hospitals and have had poor experiences. The staff at AERA was a breath of fresh air in comparison. They went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were happy and comfortable. I recommend them hands down to any other hospital in the area!
