    Yes. It appears they were left off the list. They are not the Ritz Carlton of vet hospitals but definately the best in our area for a very long time.

    I agree Hylba Valley is one of the BEST. They have reasonable prices and really care about you and your pet.

    Thnx, HBHPatch, but I'm dismayed to see Hybla Valley Vets omitted. We have been bringing our pets there for well over 30 yrs & greatly value their compassionate expertise. Hybla Valley Vet Hospital: 7627 Richmond Highway

    Can't believe Hybla Valley Vet is not included. Facilities are not latest and greatest but in no way does that impact the fantastic service from the truly caring staff, and the prices are more than reasonable. Here's my write-in vote for them.

    Hybla Valley Veterinarians is the BEST. A little stymied myself why they were left off of here. They are like visiting a small town veterinarian. Great staff who are obviously animal lovers. They've been wonderful to our family dogs for many years. When they can't figure out the problem, they are more than willing to share their wealth of emergency and specialty resources in the community.l

    What's kind of funny is that most of the vets you listed for this poll aren't even located on Hwy. 1! : )

    Hi Kari!

    We selected a sampling of veterinary practices from all three Route 1 Patch sites, and they're all located in a variety of places within our boundaries. Thanks so much for voting in this week's Readers' Choice!

    This poll caught my eye this week as my dog spent a week in the hospital. Hybla Valley Veterinarians took great care in trying to diagnose my puppy's ailment. When the standard tests were not providing them with the information necessary, they sent us over to the Regional Veterinary Referral Center (over in Springfield). They were tremendous...and I was so impressed with their services. They have 24/7 emergency care along with onsite specialists in oncology, neurology, cardiology, etc. Between the two veterinarian facilities, they saved my dog's life this week. And, now we are at home crashed on the couch after a very, very long week!
