Charged $95 for the First exam, First visit. Don't get me wrong, they were very informative and welcoming, but that price is not sustainable. They also made me put down a $88 deposit when scheduling the appointment. They are not transparent about prices, Services that I thought were included within the initial exam were not included. Thus, I would need to pay an extra $40, for which I turned down. Overall very nice staff and vet, but need to work on price transparencies Yes, I did see the deposit go towards the total cost. Its is still high

Eeek. I’d give this place 0 stars if I could. We’ve been dealing with my cat peeing outside the litter box since late September. He was seen at ER (weekend so vet was closed) to treat UTI since there was blood in his urine. And after that round of antibiotics we went to this vet (our regular vet) to see what’s going on bc he was still peeing blood. We brought in our own sample which showed UTI was not cleared up so they gave us an antibiotic. We then did almost the whole course of that medication (day 8 of 10) and he was still peeing blood so we then brought him BACK, they did X-ray and extracted his pee and showed less white cell blood count, so we were told to finish the round of antibiotics that we were given previously (only had 2 days left.) I voiced my concern that 2 days wasn’t going to clear his infection and they said it would. They said it was mostly behavioral. We bought a cat tree, felliway collar, felliway diffusers, anxiety meds etc (have spent over $650 between vet visits, antibiotics, and home remedies to help him.) TODAY, January 14th I call again bc our cat is still peeing on us in the middle of the night and peeing all over doors and things. Receptionist said he would need his urine extracted and sent out to see if he’s resistant to antibiotics and exactly what infection he has. Just the test alone is $222. Not including the exam or extraction. I NEVER asked for a free visit. I told the receptionist I was frustrated bc we have done everything they have said and nothing has worked and they have NEVER once told us about this test and we would of gone that route if we knew… instead we were given the run around on different remedies that didn’t work even though I was telling them i know it hasn’t cleared and because of that, I feel as though we needed a discount or the price reduced. She said, and I quote “it would be a waste of my time to get a manager bc we do not give discounts.” I then call around to other vets and a vet requested my cats chart. In the chart, the receptionist LIED and wrote that I asked for a free exam… which I never did. She should of wrote that she told me it would be a waste of her time to ask a manager bc they DO NOT give discounts. This was 100% validation that this office isn’t honest if their receptionist is lying in the chart to make herself look better. She also said she “INSISTED to me” that my cat be seen… she never insisted… gave me one option to be seen for today and that’s when I said we would need the price reduced and she came back with a snarky response that it would be a waste of time to speak to a manager. I’m truly disgusted! My boy cat has been hurting since September and it’s now January and I’m now seeing another vet because this place didn’t listen to my needs and said the blood in his urine was stress related. What a JOKE!

I lost my senior cat Confetti last November. She was adopted from Animal control. She was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and was treated here until her health was no longer sustainable. They were always kind and very caring through the entire illness. I was gifted 2 kittens Oreo and Socks a few weeks ago and they had a great first visit. A week later one of them hurt their paw and had to see a Dr. They checked him out and reassured me he would be fine. Just needed a shot for the inflammation. They have the best staff of any vet office I’ve ever used. Highly recommend this office!

My small dog is paw shy and very squirmy and stubborn when getting his nails cut but Corinne manages him so well every time. He hates going to the vet but I think he still has a few favorites there. :)
