How to Save Money at Plaza Pet Hospital
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

Clean office, receptionist upfront is super friendly and explained everything thoroughly to me regarding my dog's neuter aftercare. Reasonably priced, not a bunch of fuss or extra charges that some animal hospitals do

Great service. And great prices. Dr lee takes excellent care of my 3 cats. And will continue to take them there. He saved my first cat penny a month after i adopted her. I took her to other vets because she wasnt going poop or eating and started loosing weight and i was about to give her back to the agency because i was given a sick cat and they couldnt find anything wrong until the lady recommended him and she got better after a couple of weeks

Dr. Lee is amazing. His surgical skills are excellent. He doesn't try to make extra money by recommending unnecessary procedures. For that matter, when safe, he will recommend you try more basic treatments to see if those work before going to something more intrusive. It is easy to make appointments with him, even on short notice. His prices are very reasonable. He is knowledgeable about both cats and dogs even when unusual situations arise. I use him both for my personal pets and for the foster cats from the rescue I volunteer for. I am extremely impressed with his work and his professionalism. And in case you are skeptical, no he did not ask me to write this review! I did it because I feel he earned it!

Dr. Lee & his staff are caring, pleasant and easy to work with. Dr. Lee does have an accent, but he is understandable and worth understanding as he's dedicated and truly cares for his patients, unlike some Drs who practice with great 'bedside manners' while you're there but really don't care about the animals!

Dr. Lee is extremely knowledgeable. He doesn't always need to run expensive tests to determine what is wrong with your pet. The 'big box' animal hospitals are staffed with young, inexperienced vets who don't have the experience or confidence to diagnose your animal without running a bunch of tests. In addition, his prices are the lowest you will find. I highly recommend him.
