“I had sampled several vets in the Waynesville area until I visited Balsam Animal Hospital. Now, I'm all in! Caring and professional service from the appointment setting to the conclusion of the appointment. An excellent cohesive team that works well together and exudes confidence. Very fair and reasonable pricing for such great results!”

“I have used Dr. Kern for years with multiple pets. He has gone above and beyond to save animals that there seemed to be no hope for. He is as good with the owners as he is with the pets. His staff is friendly and professional and genuinely cares about the animals they see. Dr. Kern's dedication to his chosen profession sets him apart. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone that needs outstanding pet care.”

“This place is phenomenal. They are providing excellent care to my elderly dog and really take quality time with the dog and owner.”

“I had a great experience at Balsam with Dr. Kern. The staff was amazing and was genuinely there when we needed them for my dog. My dogs' last years were much much better with the help of this place and we really loved the sweet cards from them after my fur baby passed. On each visit my dog was happy to see the staff, they made him comfortable and he trusted them. They made everything wonderful at every visit and they're very good people. They're kind, caring, and understanding. They're amazing! You should certainly trust them with your animals, they are the best!"
