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.

Dr Legato is very knowledgeable and knows his animals!! He diagnosed and treated my dog quickly. I was afraid she would die but 4 days after starting treatment, she is running around and eating again!! Thank you Sycamore!!

This vet hospital is definitely lacking in the patient care department. The doctor is not capable of finishing an examination without forgetting what he has done already and what he still needs to do. Also, I have never experienced witnessing the doctor speaking to the owner about his examination and treatment plans, but by the end of the conversation he is expressing his financial troubles with the clients!! NOT EXCEPTABLE OR PROFESSIONAL!! And unfortunately there is no loyalty to the employees that have put up with this obsurd workplace environment and management... please if you care for your pets and your intelligence, do not visit this circus, I promise you will leave there feeling less confident about your decision, and your pets deserve better than what they can offer!

I had an emergency poisoning situation with a feral cat I've been working on rehabbing late in the day today. After checking with five or six other vet offices Sycamore was able to work me in with no problem. This was this cats first time with a vet and he was very agitated about being handled for his exam, despite that both Dr Legato and I believe Ansleigh were extremely kind and professional with his care and were able to provide him with what he needed to start recovering. It was also awesome to see them both working so well together. Dr Legato showed a lot of expertise with the medications needed and the best way to successfully administer them given the cat's angry attitude. Experience that wasn't shown or communicated with most of the other vet offices I had talked to today; four of them wanted me to spend $95 talking to the ASPCA poison control line to get advice on the best treatment options before bringing him in. Not to knock that service, but I'm extremely broke and had no way to afford that expense on top of an emergency vet visit. So my experience with Sycamore today left a great first impression and gave me a lot of relief knowing that the cat was in competent (heavily gloved)hands. He's now home recovering and much better off than he was a few hours ago. I'm looking forward to working with their office again in the future. Give them a call!

If they tell you to “drop by anytime we’re open” maybe don’t believe that. I dropped in at 1pm to get my cat a rabies vaccine, but the doctors seemingly take lunch breaks anywhere from 11:30am to 2pm. The receptionist was very nice, but this was still a frustrating experience overall. I did not appreciate the lack of clear communication and don’t feel it is worth making the drive back. If you’re going to drop in, I recommend calling right beforehand to confirm there is a doctor present.

Everybody was very nice and so quick, they brought my dog right in as I walked in the door. My dog felt very comfortable with everybody and that is most important. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking for an affordable and reliable vet!
