How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Waterfront Park Veterinary Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

I can’t say enough good things about this clinic! The entire staff is incredible, and they always treat my dogs with such care and compassion. From the moment we walk in, everyone is welcoming and attentive. Dr. Christine goes above and beyond to explain everything and ensure my dogs feel comfortable. Whether it’s a routine checkup or something more urgent, I trust them completely with my pets’ health. Thank you all for being so amazing and making every visit a positive experience for both me and my furry family!

The team at Waterfront Park Vet Clinic is fantastic! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and immediately felt welcome. Everyone on the team is not only friendly but also knowledgeable, which made me feel comfortable leaving my cat in their care. Dr. Jessica is absolutely wonderful. My cat has always been anxious about vet visits, but Dr. Jessica goes above and beyond to keep her calm and comfortable. She recently had a dental procedure, and Dr. Jessica and Sage took the time to explain everything, ensuring I fully understood the process. I couldn’t ask for a better vet clinic.

So impressed with this incredible team and grateful to know I can truly trust any staff member there. Everyone is very thorough, kind, and takes the time and effort to explain / make both the humans and animals as comfortable as possible. My dachshund has been coming for nearly 4 years now and has seen Dr. Osorio, Dr. Kim and most recently Dr. Salomon and I cannot say anything but the utmost praise for all of them. The technicians and administrative staff are also always above and beyond. I cannot recommend Waterfront enough! I am shocked at the any reviews less than 5 stars for Dr. Kim's practice. I strongly recommend anyone who truly intelligently cares about their family members (pets) read the reviews and responses closely - this is clearly an exceptional veterinarian clinic! P.S when I was emotional about my dog being there for his dental sedation, they made sure to put my mind at ease showing he was cuddling with a toy and napping as usual by sending me a picture

We were so lucky to have met Dr.Christine and all the staff here since our little toy poodle was a puppy. 🐶 He was a very shy dog but we could always trust Dr.Christine, Jay, Dani, and all the staff here to make our trip to the vet more enjoyable. On top of their knowledge and skills, it’s evident that they truly care about all the pet buddies that visit, and go above and beyond to provide the best quality of care. I often waited outside to greet our dog while my sister went inside with him, and I loved peeking through the window to see him come out in Dr. Christine arms as it showed how comfortable she made him feel! And whenever I did go inside, I was always touched by the way Dr. Christine provided genuine consultation and thorough examination to find the right treatment for our little one. He was able to live his life as the happiest and the most playful dog as he could be.❤️ My sister and I are both very grateful for this incredible team and we’ll continue to recommend the Waterfront Park Veterinary Clinic to all our family and friends!

Our dog Romy had received care by many vets over her life and we are confident this was the best clinic we've dealt with. Dr. Christine identified an issue immediately that let us spend many months more with our beautiful cockapoo. Romy was lucky to have Dr. Christine, Tynia and the rest of the team caring for her until the very end.
