I brought my 2 year old lab here on at 11pm one night. They were honest about how busy they were and how long it would take to see him. I had to leave him but from the little I saw they handled him extremely well. He has extreme separation anxiety and the staff member that got him from me calmly called him back into the building with her, she didn’t drag him back or force him anywhere. He had an abscess on his throat and were super good about calling me frequently with updates! They got to him exactly when they said they wou... read more

This place is a absolute joke! After waiting over 5 hours in the parking lot because bad communication from staff about my dog’s status you have to keep calling to find out what’s going on and $300 dollars later . Nothing was done on a deep laceration that the vet said my dog needed . This place is a disgrace. Anywhere else is better then this place!

I thought the staff communication was awful. I dropped my dog off at 10pm and she was not seen till 5:00 pm the next day. They discharged her and she was to get medicine at 7pm but no one called and finally we called at 7:30 pm to find out when we could pick her up. obviously she was late getting her medicine. There was no communication except when I called frequently to check on her. Don't think I will go back. The Doctor was very knowledgeable when I eventually spoke with her. 

Business response:

Hello Joan- I sincerely hope sweet Bailey is on the mend. I've followed up with you directly through your email and I hope it sufficiently addresses any concerns you may have had. If you have any further questions/concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out! - Amanda, LVT (Medical Operations Assistant Manager)

We, my dog and us, were treated poorly aside from the drop off, in which the staff were friendly and courteous and encouraging. We informed them of the problem and wrote it on the admission sheet. They were informed of a broken leg or hip. They assured us that he would have an x ray and pain med right away. After waiting about 2 hrs in the parking lot was told the doctor would be talking to us soon and that he had had pain medicine. A couple hours later, I went to the door and asked to speak to the Vet. They said no,he was d... read more

My kitten had a sore/small hole on his neck so I brought him in for what I expected to be a botfly. They charged me 99 dollars so they can give him pain relief medicine, so they could shave around the wound and wash it out. they said "nothing" was in it. Then charged me for more pain meds to bring home. So all together they charged me $392 to wash his wound and tell me nothing was in it. took him to a different vet a couple days later after it was cleary getting worse and they pulled larva from his neck. So I paid almost $40... read more
