Would you get a new vet?

Ask your favorite vet if they know of anyone they'd recommend in the new area. That's what I've done for a chiropractor. However, the chiro that my old one recommended turned out to be not right for me. So I went to one that a co-worker goes to.
So either ask the other vet or like someone else said, ask around to see who locals recommend.
I also agree with driving two hours for major things like the kittens being neutered. And then just "try out" local places for routine things.

And, did I miss seeing pictures of the kittens, or am I just forgetful? hint hint

I have two vets, one local for routine checkups, etc., another who is farther away for special cases. In your search for a new vet, a referral is always best. I think that stands for any type of service that you're searching for.

I wouldn't be happy about it, but I would have to find a new vet if it was more than an hour away. I don't have a car and can't depend on friends to take Fister there, if it's that far. I hope it will never be neccesary to move.

I was in a similar situation a couple years ago. I loved my vet in my old town, he was great with my exotics and that is so hard to find. I did some research on the vets closer to me and found an even better exotic vet. She specializes in birds and the second vet at the same clinic specializes in rodents. They've won national awards for their excellence with exotics (I don't remember what the actual awards were). The vet who specializes in birds has been named one of the top 10 vets in the US. My birds and chinchillas have been to that clinic and I absolutely love them there and they're less than 10 minutes from my house.

Ok, my point is to look around at the vets near you, you may find someone even better for you and your pets. I personally would continue to go back to my "old" vet for big things until I find a vet I like nearby.

I've had the same vet since before I moved to Michigan. Dr. Geer of the Colchester Veterinary Hospital is the best in his business. He allows you to make payments and will help you, as he did me when we found those 3 weeks old kittens.
