It appears to be a great place for animal lodging. The staff is friendly and helpful. My dog has never rushed to enter a vet center; she did upon her last visit. That lets me know that she is well pleased.

I must say that this is about a tech that kept my dog there independently from the center. With that being said she did bring him to work daily and noone noticed my puppy's decline while in her care. I have a puppy with a clef pallet roof of his mouth. I was going out of the country and paid an employee to keep him. While in Her care she didn't feed him any formula. He was so dehydrated and close to death when I got him back it was heart breaking. For the next 2 weeks it was touch and go... I took him to my regular vet every other day. He was given tons of IV fluids by shots, he became septic, he was impacted. I'm happy to say he is thriving now due to the efforts of my regular vet and my coworkers. I will NEVER go to this vet or recommend them.

I went to ACC because a friend in rescue referred me there. They diagnosed my girl and unfortunately she couldn't be saved. They were very nice about that and sent me a beautiful card. My only issue was with a staff member. I see my animals as my family and it's not the right time to upset someone when they're already very upset and going through the pain of having to make the decision to euthanize their pet. Other than that, everything went well. That's the only reason I'm giving them 3 stars. If that confrontation wouldn't have happened, I'd gladly give them 5 stars. I'm not going to say that I wouldn't recommend them based off of one instance, but after that, I just don't think it's the right place for me. Although, I am VERY thankful for their help!

Brought in my leopard gecko, and Dr. Knight and her staff were wonderful. They treated my girl well (showering her with compliments) and put my concerns to rest, and even gave me help with my ball python back at home. 10/10, would recommend.

I am new to Mobile and was searching for a new vet. Our dogs are family to us. ACC is fantastic!! Great care from both of the vets, staff is very responsive, my dogs loved them. Highly recommend.
