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.

1000 stars!!!! I have never seen so much passion from so many employees period, any workplace at that. From the front desk especially Sara and all the way to the vets themselves. I can’t say enough about the people that work here. Our big baby boy Great Dane Apollo had to have emergency surgery, we didn’t think we were taking him home. Their professional, knowledge, skilled and kindness gave us a lot of hope and thanks to them he is now home recovering. Thank you all that helped us in our worst of times. We Can never repay for what you gave us. Dr Sammy and the surgical team, you’re the best!

I can’t say enough about this practice! I have brought my two dogs into CCVM and have experienced the oncology, surgical, and emergency care team. You can tell from the moment you step in how much each person cares, from the front desk staff (shoutout to Sierra!), to the CVTs, to the doctors. Even when the patient parents aren’t around, the staff all truly cares for each patient (I hung around CCVM all day waiting for my dogs surgery so I was looking and listening!). Affordable care and they really try to find solutions even to people that can’t afford care. I even donated some meds from my dog that passed and they all took the time to write a sweet card about how other patients were able to use the items. 10/10!

I am so deeply grateful to Dr. Alex Fox Alvarez and the entire team for the incredible care they gave Cookie during her splenectomy and lobectomy. From the moment we walked in, they treated her with such compassion and gentleness, and they took the time to answer all my questions and to reassure me every step of the way. What truly meant the most was how much they cared not just for Cookie, but for me as well. Their follow-up and support made such a difference during a very stressful time. Seeing Cookie back to her happy, energetic self—running around like nothing ever happened—is the greatest gift. I truly can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us. You made a difficult experience so much easier, and I will always be grateful.

After spending many hours and late nights here with 2 of my cats I think I can make a solid review. I can't imagine getting veterinary emergency care anywhere else now. After I moved, I ended up driving almost 4 hours to get care here a second time because the other vets in my area were clueless and not helpful. Working with the amazing doctors, wonderful techs, and sweet reception staff, I was able to get a real plan and testing in place that saved my furbaby who was extremely sick when I adopted him. I especially love the comfortable private waiting rooms and that I was able to visit with my other cat during his blood transfusions. The care here is top notch and thorough, I just can't recommend Community Care enough. I would give 100 stars.

The oncology and emergency staff, especially Dr. Fox helped my Shih Tzu recover and live a much longer and happier life since his lymphoma diagnosis. They did the best care for him, and extended his life for 2 more years until he was 14 (which was much better than our expectations). I am so incredibly grateful for the people who work there for being so proactive and successful at doing the best treatments while making him comfortable simultaneously. These people helped me so much emotionally with my dog as well, and I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who needs emergency care or treatments for their companions.
