Preventive care

I wouldn't waste your time with this office. I made a 3:45 appointment for my new puppy. We were on time but left waiting on the front room over 30 minutes. During this time waiting my puppy was very distressed and whining and at no point was I informed that they were running behind. In fact no one spoke to me at all after my paperwork was complete, I was just ignored. We could have gone on a walk or something to distract her with all that time, or simply arrived later if they bothered to communicate. While waiting the three staff members were having loud conversations talking very negatively about clients and pets they didn't like. It was not only really unprofessional but also left a bad taste in my mouth. I finally went up to ask if I had the appointment time wrong because it was after 4:15 and they closed at 5. I was told I was correct and on time and the receptionist when into the back to check. I heard a very loud "oh! I forgot!" come from the back. Great. The receptionist comes back out to say they will be ready in a few more minutes and they can still "squeeze her in real quick" before they closed for the day. I explained that I didn't want her first appointment rushed through because we had a couple concerns I wanted to address, that she deserved to have her entire appointment and that I wanted a vet who would treat her as a priority. We walked out without seeing a vet and immediately made an appointment with a different office where the vet didn't leave us hanging.

One of the hardest things you can do when you have a pet is to say goodbye. They mobile vet service came to our home, and my sweet girl was able to go to sleep outside, under the beautiful afternoon sun, in our arms. We were able to say goodbye in the most caring of ways. I am very thankful for their caring, compassion, and empathy. We had the private cremation and received the ashes back in days. I am forever thankful that we were able to spend her last moments sitting peacefully outside. Thank you so much Dr Haines for making everything so peaceful. Mahalo to the staff for their kindness when I picked up her ashes. I really needed that hug.
