Verified Veterinarian
From the time I could pronounce the word, I wanted to be a veterinarian (around 5 years old) and I never wavered from that goal. I have been a veterinarian for over 35 years and still love every minute of my profession. I never felt being a veterinarian was a career choice, but rather a calling. I have strived to provide the best care possible for my patients, with special attention to reducing their pain and suffering. To this end, I have many years providing home euthanasia for family pets. I have always felt profoundly honored to be chosen by a family to help their beloved pet pass from their suffering to a place where they are free. To do so in the comfort of their own home (or other special place) is so much more dignified and intimate for the patient and their family.

Dr. Noe made a hard experience much easier with her empathy and professionalism. She helped our children feel included and created a peaceful environment for us to say goodbye to our sweet kitty.
Such a wonderful vet and person and amazing in a really difficult time. Made an extremely difficult decision and moment very peaceful.
In the context of grieving that had already started before Dr. Laurie Noe's arrival, she proactively offered contact for questions, and she confirmed and sent reminders for the appointment date/time, and arrival. We were grateful that she was available to come with one day's notice for a Sunday appointment. Dr. Noe arrived with her very kind assistant, Ezra, and she gently explained everything. With Dr. Noe's guidance, the process of sending our beloved Mulan to doggie heaven was incredibly smooth, patient, empathetic, and comforting. We remain very appreciative of Dr. Noe's and Ezra's gentle efficiency and kindness.
When we had another cat put to sleep in a hospital it was very clinical. Garfield had an IV and was drugged. This time Dr. Noe made it a very peaceful passing. We were with her the entire time and she was able to be at home until the end. This is the best way for a pet to pass.
Dr. Noe and Ezra were compassionate and loving.Their approach helped make the transition for our Sammy, peaceful. They answered my boys' questions and really cared about our feelings toward transitioning our cat toward his "forever sleep." I am grateful for their assistance and guidance through the process. Dr. Noe and her assistant Ezra are caring and kind and I will recommend them to anyone needing assistance sending their pet(s) over the rainbow bridge.
Dr. Noe helped put our 20 year old cat to rest. When we put our two other pets to sleep they were awful experiences due to the veterinary offices and their actions. Our cat and dog were mishandled and panicked. She explained the process well, made us feel comfortable during an awful time and made Smokie comfortable until her last breath. Home euthanasia is recommended to those parents that don't want to give their babies the added stress of a car ride and a vet office.
