Where do I start. My dog had a spider bite on her nose, they wanted to do a biopsy $650, which I paid. I had to leave county, and had an associate call to get results. They weren't forthcoming about having the results which was super frustrating. They wanted dog on prednisone which they gave my associate. They gave him a hard time about an $18 prescription and left me messages about it. Mind you over the last two decades I have probably spent welll over 5k which I always paid at time of service. Today I went in to ... read more

Melissa was very difficult to work with and asked me to repeat myself a million times. What's the point of secrataries if they don't know anything. Every time a nurse answers the phone like Shane, juan, christian, or stacy then I get my answers right away and its a very easy conversation. I think they should get rid of the secrataries and just have the nurses. I ended up going to another vet for my pet who has come here for years. My daughter is switching vets too. The care is very good with the drs.Very sad to see this plac... read more

Love the drs and techs. However The front desk used to be helpful and nice, but the last few months they have gotten all new people that have no idea what they are doing and seem so unorganized. They are the first people the public talks to and they should be doing better

Do not bring your pet here! They are invested in offering unnecessary procedures, rather than providing compassionate care for your fur baby. The vets I had the misfortune of interacting with did not appear to be experienced or knowledgeable and provided only cursory and generic commentary regarding my pet's (urgent and disconcerting) condition. Only if you want to be grossly overcharged and receive next-to-no-care for your pet, this is a clinic for you and your animal friends.

Refused to give me my pets prescriptions that were already counted out and ready because they were doing inventory.... even after they texted me to come pick them up before 7pm. I got there shortly after 5pm.... But no, inventory is more important than pets health. I've Been coming here for a while now, they used to be great, but now they are actual awful. If you love and care about your pet, I wouldn't go here, or even recommend an enemy to go here. It's gotten that bad. Communication is terrible.I would highly recommend go... read more

Business response:

Joshua, we take your feedback seriously, and apologize we did not meet your standards. Unfortunately we are required to close for inventory and count all items including medications in our hospital. We tried to inform clients by posting signs on our door, as well as informing via phone conversations, and on hold recordings. It appears we did in fact text you to inform you your medication was ready for pick up, and we failed to update our hours for this particular day. We apologize for the error and inconvenience, and have pu... read more

Horrible place! WAY OVER PRICED ( the cookies and free pop are just to butter you up before they hit you with the astoundingly high bill). My pets are going to another vet for better treatment!! This place really sucks!!

I've gone to this clinic for years and the vet I saw is awesome but the clinic itself is a travesty. I'm done. I've literally spent thousands and thousands of dollars there, but when you need them in a pinch they will NOT serve you. There is always some excuse (not to mention the constant "can I put you on a short hold" which rarely is anywhere near short...you'll end up dropped) -- today it was 1) server down, AND 2) short-staffed, AND 3) covid. Seriously? Remember, they will take your money hand over fist for dubious exams... read more

Business response:

Thank you Merritt for sharing your concerns about our service last Saturday. We will follow up with our team on all of your concerns. We unfortunately did have an I.T. outage that was completely out of our hands and we did the best we could to manage to see as many patients as we could safely see that day. It was a frustrating day all around. There has been an incredible surge in the demand for veterinary care in the last two years. It is nationwide and all veterinarians are working to try to meet the demand. Our veterinaria... read more

I knew more about treatment of the kidney disease affecting my cat than the vet did. It's a common disease in senior cats. Also check your final bill closely for additional charges.

We made a same day visit for our 2 year old Maine Coone cat who was very sick. Vet told me repetitively that "this was a life threatening emergency" and then proceeded to tell me that she could not drain his bladder and he would need to go to emergency vet. This service is clearly offered at the University vet, yet she had "block time for other clients" and her colleagues were not available. It was Friday afternoon and she was too busy. After again declaring what an emergency it was and how the cat could die (next to our ups... read more

Hi Keith, we are sorry to hear you were not satisfied with your pet's visit. We aim to provide the highest quality of care to your furry friend and are saddened that you felt otherwise. Someone from our team will be contacting you shortly.
