This man is the most competent, well-educated, thorough veterinarian I have ever met.

My family and I have been taking our animals to Dr. Ben for twenty years or more.  I don't remember having taken our family pets to anyone else.  

I believe Ben's specialty is in exotic animals, which I think is fascinating.  We have Eastern Box Turtles that he has helped us take care of over the years.

He has also helped us to take care of our dogs, cats, fish, and chickens.  I can go on about all of the illnesses or problems some of our animals have had over the years - and even though the problems have changed, the way that Ben has handled them has not, in the sense that he has always been very thorough and honest.

Currently, we have a Boston Terrier that I describe as "medically sensitive."  What this means to me is that she has had a lot of problems and seems prone to more problems (bad breeding, ringworm, seizures, bone stuck in her ribs, etc).  We have been lucky in the sense that she's a lovely dog with a great personality.  Also, we have been so grateful to have Ben help us take care of her and try to keep her healthy.

He is very caring, but I think people are put off by his dry sense of humor.  I happen to enjoy it.  Laurel, his wife, is his administrative assistant (she does a lot more than that but that's the best title I could come up with), and she is outgoing, straightforward, and also very helpful.  They make a wonderful team and I couldn't recommend them with any more gusto than I am doing now.

BEN BALDWIN  very competent ,caring, and always there for you. At first blush, you might think "wow, this is a bit odd...if you are not comfortable with exotic new age style decor, but it seems to me that this is merely a reflection of (what I have gathered ) their love for exploration and adventure.  Ben and Laurel , his wife in the the front office , are a great team when it comes to having all the bases covered. Ben is a bit gruff and not too sociable with humans, but handling your precious, you see him in his element, and gain a deep respect for a man who knows his mind and his calling. I have seen him bring us through a punctured lung on our  one boston terrier, he helped us through and she lived a long time after that. then I woke him up in the middle of the night recently with a  boston having seizures, and he told me to get her in immed. to the hospital. I am glad for the fact he didn't say to keep an eye on her. she really needed help. now she is doing better. If you are looking for a vet TRY BEN!
