I can't express enough gratitude to the incredible team at Papaya Vet for saving my dog's life. My dog recently needed emergency surgery after swallowing a toy, and the squeaker got lodged in his intestines. It was a terrifying experience, but the veterinarians and staff at Papaya Vet were exceptional from start to finish. Dr. Bui did the surgery and I can’t express enough how amazing she is!!!! The staff was soooo amazing! They let me be with my sweet boy while he was recovering and they explained everything they were doin... read more

Our little dog had obviously damaged his eye somehow and was squinting and tearing. It was a Saturday, and we couldn't get him into see our regular vet. Knowing that a scratched eye can become infected and deteriorate quickly, we brought him to Papaya right away. As it happened, there were no emergencies or other patients, so we were seen very quickly by a lovely young vet and a fantastic vet tech. The vet put a stain in his eye, which enabled her could see the little scratch with a black light. She then prescribed the ne... read more

Words cannot express the amount of gratitude and appreciation I have for the incredible staff at Papaya. In the past week I’ve had to take my cat, for choking, which I was panicked and they handled fabulously and had her taken care of in minutes! And this morning I had to take my dog for a stomach bug. Both experiences were as smooth as possible, the staff was urgent, helpful and compassionate. You never want to have to take your fur babies to an emergency vet but this one is the BEST. So grateful to have Papaya in our nei... read more

If you need an Emergency Vet group that really cares about what they do, look no further! Kind, Caring, compassionate group! We had a failed prior Vet experience for the same issue, and we were so blessed to find this vet group! Amazing staff, all the way around! From calling and talking to Cassandra to let her know we were coming, being greeted by Carlos and meeting with Dr Bui to discuss our Cat and options! Hands down they want to help and are reasonably priced for the area! Our cat needed an emergency procedure or he wou... read more

My dog was limping and wouldn’t put weight on his paw and I was headed out to a trip in a few days, my vet was full but recommended papaya. I just wanted to go to make sure it was nothing serious before leaving him with a friend for a few days. The staff was so incredibly nice and welcoming. My dog was in good spirits and wasn’t afraid walking in. The vet did one of the most thorough exams I’ve seen and took the time to answer my questions and heard my concerns. It was very reasonably priced for the exam and 2 medications th... read more
