Although in the past I've used them on a fairly regular basis, sometime after 2021 or so they raised their prices - used to cost $99 for an office call, but that's gone up to $199 just to walk in the door. There's always an hours-long wait, especially if your pet's needs are not considered an "emergency" - it really feels like they're taking advantage of being so busy by increasing their office call fee by 100% - talk about "greed-flation"!!

Absolutely the worst place to take your sick animal. I spent 4 hours waiting to be seen with my dog who had a life threatening injury. I begged to be helped, finally saw a person, got no diagnosis or plan to help then they asked for a 4k deposit to keep him for the night. We left. Hours later they repeatedly called saying they had my dog and needed a deposit to treat him. In that time we'd gone to Blue Pearl, gotten treatment and was on my way home. Our dog got the treatment he needed at BP. Absolutely horrible, dirty place... read more

Horrible! Took my beagle in because she was urinating blood and shaking from being in pain. I called on my way to see what their wait time was and was told none but could be up to four hours if any testing needed to be done. I got there at 9:30 AM, checked in and was immediately put in a room. Two hours later I was still waiting and no one ever came in to update us or check on us. Finally a girl opened the door and asked if my dog was still stable? How would I know that?? She said they were really busy. Right after th... read more

I took my dog in because she ate mouse poison. the person at the front desk wouldn't do anything to check us in until I called a poison hotline. so I called and the recording said that in order to assist, I needed to pay $85. absolutely ridiculous. I went to another vet where there was no hotline for me to call before being seen and the vet thought that was a ridiculous protocol as well.

Slow, expensive and very rude! Long waits. No communication. Angry and rude when asked about status.

While going to a place like this is never easy my experience was horrible. While they were amazing on the phone. Very concerned advised what we needed to do once we arrived. We made it in our girl was taken back immediately as we were told she would be. 10 minutes of waiting doc walks in and basically tells us our worst nightmare my girl has an aggressive cancer. Basically put her to sleep all else will be a waste of money. She said she's give us some time the tech walks in within minutes to ask if we've made a decis... read more

I would leave zero stars if I could. I had to take my 15 year old dog here on January 13th at 11 pm. He was already scheduled for euthanasia at our regular vet a week later due to spine and back issues. He was in immense pain, on steroids and narcotics, etc. That night, he developed HGE and his insides were shloshing out of his butt. It was horrible. I told the vet that was working about his history and the plan I had with my regular vet and he tried to convince me to hospitalize him; give him more meds etc. I told him I cou... read more

One doctor's negligence almost cost my dog's life. My 2-year-old dachshund was admitted to the hospital's ICU around midnight with hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. The overnight doctor expected him to be there 24 - 36 hours to receive fluids for dehydration and medication to treat his gastroenteritis. At some point the next morning his blood pressure and glucose started dropping significantly. By noon his blood pressure was below 60, which is dangerously low. Despite repeated requests from the vet techs, the daytime doct... read more

If you're going to have your pet seen here and you e already registered make sure you pack your camping gear also. We arrived as we told the front desk staff at around 10:30 am (after a two hour drive). Our dog has been listless, not eating for four days. We told them it was more of an urgent issue, being honest, and she wasn't on her last breath yet. We finally got notified being being in their "que" a couple hours later and there were 8 patients ahead of us. 2 hours later (around 1pm) there were 7 patients. went in at arou... read more
