I work in a doctors office, and I make sure I greet and "welcome" every patient that walks in... i came to pick up my kitten.... and 4 workers at front and only 1 said they'll let those in the back know I was there to get my kitten... every one else didn't even bother to say hello or even look up. This is not the 1st time I've felt disappointed in their bed side manners. Nothing at a vet is cheap and my fur baby is scared... as am I...and love the location cause it's close to home... but seriously be more friendly and outgoing!!! Show me you care about my pet! The Dr that discharged my cat was nice.

My Westies had the best care here over the course of nearly twenty years. They both lived long lives. The Dr's. and staff are compassionate, patient, and skilled. I will never forget how caring they were during end-of-life decisions and process.

I've been coming here for many years, unfortunately this vet has gone way downhill. I feel they make mistakes and aren't honest. I used to think they were great, but I believe they are the result of two of my dogs dieing prematurely and at the hands of the same Dr. My most recent dog I brought her to be spayed she was almost 5 and was a rescued dog. She had tests done beforehand to make sure she was OK to be put under anesthesia. The results came out great. She was perfectly fine when I dropped her off. Then I get a call she didn't do good under the anesthesia so a few hours later I pick her up and she was not the same at all. Brought her back cause she wasn't eating they said everything was fine and just gave some medicine. Almost a month later still not the same brought her to a different vet and they told me it would be best to euthanize her because she had so much fluid buildup in her body and they were surprised she was still alive. I fully believe something happened that they did some kind of mistake and aren't being honest cause again my dog was perfectly fine when I dropped her off. Years and years of going here I will never Ever step foot in this vet again. The devastation we are going through is unreal. My other dog I think the medicine they gave him killed him. It was almost a year ago. The very day I picked up the medicine, I gave it to him and I thought he was sleeping. He had passed away in his sleep. They said his heart gave out but I just find it hard to believe he was fine all week until I picked up his meds and then he dies the same day? I give them to him. Idk and now my sweet Marley is gone. I wish we never brought her to be spayed. It's just heartbreaking.

No compassion, only interested in collecting money upfront, told them I needed a follow-up appointment for my dog after he had been in the emergency after being hit by a car. The ignored my request said that my dog could not be seen until in 2 weeks and I paid a deposit that would be applied to the vet bill. Never heard this before.
