My parents have been going to this veterinary clinic for over 30 years. Back in the day, this clinic was top notch, I remember going in as a kid, and the staff was always friendly. When I called informing I was concerned my dog had a UTI I was told they didnt have any availability and to find another office. I have been taking my dogs there now for at least 4 years, and I'm DONE. The staff is beyond rude, and I'm not paying someone to speak to me that way or allow his staff to. The negativity at this office is clearly contagious. The staff at this office has called family member's phone numbers that don't belong to me and discussed my animals' personal information with others. On other occasions, voices were raised at my mother for asking questions on things that she didn't understand pertaining to her dogs health. I recently called and asked for my pets records, and I wasn't verified. I was asked for my pets name and email to send it to. Those records have all of my personal information on it. Full name, address, phone number, etc. I found a different vet, and I'm thankful I decided to find someone else to care for my pets.

They have been very good to us and our dogs. They always seem to get us in quickly. My only grip would be is I dont always seem to get a reminder on when my pets are due.

Worst veterinary clinic I’ve ever been to…they’re thirsty for money and act like they don’t want you there been there multiple times and the employees are very dry and give you no description into anything handed me meds multiple times and not even a word was said about them until I asked. My dog got surgery and he didn’t come home with a cone then they tried telling me I had to purchase one? You would think you get one when he obviously needs it, I wouldn’t recommend this place to no one.

Vet staff was very friendly. The Dr was very knowledgeable about what was going on with my dog and his treatment plan was starting to work within 48 hrs! I have always used this vet in the past but switched in

Do yourself a huge favor! Go somewhere else please. I couldn't even get the courtesy of talking with the doctor to express my concerns. Instead the desk girl was just like " We see this all the time, trust me". What a joke. On top of that they give the cheapest version of meds available and upcharge it 3 times the value. He prescribed medication that specifically says (For otic use in dogs ONLY)to my cat and then no returns... Paul W. Augustine, you should be ashamed of yourself. Not only is this neglect but carelessness when care is the reason you have this business. You most definitely lost my business. Like I said before. Go anywhere but here.
