First State Urgent Vet

I WAS SCAMMED! DO NOT GO HERE! My kitten had a seizure and couldn’t stop panting so i took her here. I had no idea what was going on. They took her in, little did i know that to even enter the place is $150. They told me her temperature was 105 degrees. Next they charged me for antibiotics. And then asked me if i wanted her blood work done as well. I said of course. They took me and my sister to a private room.Then when the assistant came back to the room to show me how much the total was. I actually stared at it for a solid minute because I thought it was a joke. Nope. I was charged $618 for all that. To top it all off, there was no diagnosis. When the doctor told me that she tried to convince me that “when you go to your doctor you don’t always get an answer do you?” I said sarcastically ,” Usually I do.” And that’s when the people at check in turned around to see if i was gonna cause a ruckus. I asked the doctor, “ so after all of that, after $618, there is no diagnosis.” Then she had the balls to mention you should take her into hospitalization so to clearly get a diagnosis. She said that ranges from $1500 to $2000. I said give me my cat. I was so furious, i had to have my sister use my card and pay for me so i wouldn’t go back in and cuss out that doctor. DO NOT GO HERE! WASTE OF YOUR MONEY! NO DIAGNOSIS!

I am blown away by the care that my Orange Tabby received. He came in for a respiratory infection. The vet and techs were so kind. Though the cost was higher than I anticipated, I cannot deny how much relief I felt when Leo got a proper consultation. He's feeling better already. Thank you so much for helping my baby!

This facility was amazing from the start of my visit to the end. Everyone was so kind and professional. Shout out to the reception crew, Dr. Downs and her tech, and everyone who makes this place work so well. My cat's care was both thorough and affordable. He's feeling better after a visit here! Highly recommend if you're not able to get into your regular vet on short notice.

For a pet parent with an emergency, this is the place to go!! I couldn’t be more appreciative of Jenny & Doctor Lawrie. They are absolutely LOVELY. The reason for going to an emergency/urgent care vet is never a good time, but they made the experience more than comfortable. They made sure we understood exactly what her condition was, where it could start heading, and why they suggested each part of the treatment. Jenny took such good care of her while she was getting her medication and answered all of my paranoid questions. The staff at the front was welcoming and efficient in getting her paperwork done and getting her back into a room as soon as possible. We came in around 6:15 (they close at 7) and even though we were there well after close, they gave us the same level of care and didn’t rush us out the door. Our bill was nowhere near what it would’ve been at an emergency vet & I felt that the price was reasonable for the circumstances. I am so thankful for their time and support, our girl is already improving!

I’m a first time puppy mom and I was scared of taking him somewhere and I spend hours look at reviews for all the place nearby. But when I call and talk to the front desk lady I knew this were we going. Everyone there were so sweet and very helpful. especially doctor down and her vet tech and I do not remember her name, but they are absolutely the sweetest people in the world even though it’s a 40 minute drive from me, I refuse to go anywhere else in a emergency from here on out.
