"As a new graduate veterinarian, I was very nervous to start my new job and move to a new city – 5 years passed quickly, but looking back, I’m so glad I decided to start at Summerfields! This practice has such a supportive environment, it allowed me to grow and learn new techniques with somebody mentoring me along the way. Dr. Metzler encouraged and supported me in pursuit of my board certification. This allowed me to offer specialty services to other practices in the Fort Worth area. I hated to leave but wanted to own my own mobile consulting practice. I still lean on Dr. Metzler for business advice. I highly recommend this office for anyone looking for an excellent practice." – Dr Jim Reynolds
