I went there one time, won't go again. They are overpriced. I took my dog in for having diarrhea and throwing up. They told me to take a stool sample so i did, then they said they had to charge me to check the sample for anything. At other places i go to they never charge me to check the stool sample, they just check it. Then this male doctor, i dont remember his name came in, looked at my dog for like 30 seconds and was gone. The assistant came in with a list of tests, and medicines for my dog, which would have came out to ... read more

When I got the bill, there was an additional $15 for the claws and $65 for 3 months of flea stuff! ... read more

Since when did taking a pet to the vet become worse than going to a used car lot? We've been going here for a couple years, and this most recent visit will be the last. The techs are really friendly, as is the desk staff, but the heavy--very very heavy--emphasis on getting you to get extra tests, come back for extra visits, etc is just... slimy. The vets here, every one I've seen, are very casual about saying things like, "Oh, Fluffy's getting up there in years, let's go ahead and do a senior blood panel." You discover i... read more
