RecommendedI would recommend them if your vet is closed or doesn’t have any openings. I took my kitten in for an eye ulcer/infection and from day 1 and every visit after, they said they wanted to take the eye. I kept refusing and wanted to try treatment first. One month later and both eyes are bright and healthy.
Business response:
Thank you for your recommendation, we are glad your kitten is feeling better.
My reptile needed antibiotics to kick a respiratory infection. Thought it could be handled quickly, but my reptile ended up spending the night because I was sleep by the time I got a call to pick her up roughly eight hours later. A follow up shot a few days later ended up with me sitting outside in the hot sun for almost 1 1/2 hours. Why ask for an ETA after telling you to bring your animal if staff is not ready for you? I felt horrible for two people waiting with me. One lady spent 1k on her dog and staff brought it out wi... read more

The wait time and the cost
Business response:
Elana, thank you for providing feedback associated with your visit. We sincerely hope Pickles is feeling better! We fully understand how frustrating our wait times can be and are trying to make every effort to communicate why this is the case to every client that we see. In regards to cost, a veterinary ER has much larger overhead than a business that is not open 24/7 and so it is necessary for the charges to offset this. Please know that we try as hard as we can to make every client's experience as pleasant as possible desp... read more
All they want is money. If they truly cared about the animals, they would be more attentive and caring. My cat was there last week and pulled out his catheter twice. $3500 for 3 nights and he has the same problem he had when he got there. I could not be more certain that there are better vets in the area.
Business response:
Hello Lars. We are so sorry to hear that Bino has again become obstructed. He is such a sweet boy and was well-loved by the staff while he was here. As was discussed with you at the time of his visit and also when you called to speak to a manager, having a urinary blockage recurrence is not uncommon in cats with his type of condition. It is understandably frustrating, stressful, and financially taxing for owners in these situations. Bino was healthy and blockage-free from 8.4 until 8.10. This recurrence of his issues is in n... read more
Fact: -9wk puppy dehydrated due too two days of diarrhea -Took Vet 5hrs to evaluate puppy -Vet wanted to do multiple test (blood work, stool sample, 3 different antibiotics… etc) -quoted $1,600-1,900 to treat (70% deposit) -took multiple phone calls for them to accept that I wanted to treat puppy for dehydration. They wanted to treat for ‘everything under the sun’ -got facility down to $1,000 deposit -final bill $976 -diagnosis = dehydration Why so high? Because the facility charges fee’s twice for every 12hrs animal is... read more

long wait bogus time on giving your animal back
Business response:
Arlene, thank you for providing feedback regarding your visit. I'm very sorry that we gave you the impression that our motivation was purely financial. In truth, we want nothing but the best for both yourself and Snowball and are deeply saddened that we in any way made you feel otherwise. In regards to the medical recommendations made, further imaging and care was appropriate in order to fully care for and diagnose Snowball. It was not medically appropriate to immediately rush into surgery as the performed diagnostic testin... read more
They told me to go there immediately for my dog to be seen. When I got there (an hour drive) I texted that I was there. After waiting two hours in my vehicle, emailed and calling multiple times I finally got to talk to someone. Told me to meet them at the door. Worker came out and said “your dog looks fine, go back home and wait for us to let you know when we can see you”. I asked what I should do if my dog vomits the foreign object up and it gets stuck. She said “then head back here immediately and we will get her right... read more

Shelly, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me today regarding your visit. I'm so happy to hear that Ella is ok. I wish you both the best. Take care!
Very displeased. Had a super sick dog pooping and puking blood, it was saturday so my vet was closed. AEH told me she had a allergic reaction and after two day of being with them sent her home still extremely sick. said all blood work, xrays, and ultrasound were fine. Took her to my vet her white blood count was extremely high and has a very bad gastrointestinal infection. How did AEH not find this in there blood test. Also this cost me $3200 for no treatement just testing and 2 nights stay. This place is a joke!
Business response:
Jorja. Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with me directly. I'm sorry we were not able to come to an agreement regarding your visit and the treatment that Bitty received. Thank you again for taking the time to speak with me and I'm happy that Bitty is doing better.
So so sooooo disappointed. Checked into waiting at noon, here it was 9/10pm at night and 17 calls later I finally got through to someone and they told me to bring my dog in because I let her know my dog had a paw injury she had a hole in it looked like maybe a foxtail or something was stuck in it. She was bleeding and limping and everyone else was at capacity. So we get here after the lady on the phone says to come straight away and they tell me to wait at home because they’re very full(which why would they make me come all ... read more
