Preventive care

Truly kind and caring vet and staff! My furbaby had stopped breathing after another seizure and I begged them to see us right away in this emergency even though she was not a current patient yet (after being unable to get her in sooner at ANY other local ER or urgent care). It was too late and I was heartbroken, but I will never forget their incredible compassion and kindness. They didn’t even charge me (especially being non-patient!) and even provided me with a nice body bag to bring her back home with me. THEN, I was further surprised to receive a lovely card signed by the vet and his staff! Hands down, this will be my vet of choice when I’m ready to rescue my next dog! Highly recommend and they even offer a Groupon for those interested in trying them out. A+++++++++++++

Still not too sure yet. They are corporate owned, which is probably why they are pushing so many tests and pills my past vet has never mentioned. I am getting my pups teeth cleaned tomorrow....we shall see how far OVER their min estimate they go before I decide to keep my pup here. UPDATED REVIEW Things went better than expected. Initially I found the front staff unorganized, the website had outdated information that I used to try to get my pups records to this pet hospital prior to our appointment which caused my proactive personality to go into frustration mode, etc. The continual push for more tests, costs and meds is the corporate business plan of most vets but I am an adult and can say no more. I did find that they treated my pup with good care and concern when he hard a very hard time with the anesthesia for his teeth cleaning, which is a huge plus to me. They also did not charge me for a tooth that basically fell out by itself (I knew he had a bad tooth) and they could have padded their bill because I would not have known it fell out.. another plus for honesty. The final bill ended up less than their minimum estimate, a 3rd plus so overall, I am pleased with their service.

We took our two 14 week old kittens to this vet and they did an fantastic job. The veterinarian was very knowledgeable and the rest of the staff was very kind and made us feel at easy. It put us at ease having a veterinarian who really know what he was doing take care of our cats. He was able yo explain everything that was going on and showed us how to care for our animals when we had questions. Amazing service, would use them again.

We recently found a stray dog & after one month of being unable to find its owners We decided we would adopt. A friend of mine told me about this office and then there was a Groupon coupon for the initial visit. I have never used Groupon but it seemed like a great deal so I purchased it. I was pleased. The lobby was neat & clean and The wait was short. The staff was friendly. The vet himself was nice and thorough. He was very patient and answered the list of questions I prepared. We will definitely be back.
