Very unprofessional and rude. I had a family emergency and was one hour late to my appointment. I called ahead, of course to See if I could still come. I was told to come in since I live 15 minutes away. I get in, I'm filling out paperwork, nurses are weighing my dog. All of a sudden, a girl from the front desk (The one who told me to come) interrupts, comes in and says "the doctor said he doesn't want to see you. You can take your dog elsewhere." She was not friendly at all from the minute I walked in, not sure if she hates her job or what but she's a great representation of how you'll be treated during your visit. I did not get an explanation as to why this "doctor" would say this. The only reason I brought my dog here was because they were the only people who had a last-minute appointment available - And I now know why. If I could give no stars, I would. Don't bring your pet here.

I have nothing but glowing reviews for Dr. Adelman and his staff. When we moved here they have taken great care of my three babies. Unfortunately over the years, they have crossed the rainbow bridge. The staff was kind and compassionate with me because I was a mess. We recently adopted the sweetest Jack Russell and she will go nowhere else but Layhill Animal Hospital!

I can’t say anything good about this place. Now I understand all the bad reviews. I brought my dog for a dental appointment, Mr Adelman decided that “I had” to get my dog examined for heart worm, even though he had it done 2 months prior. I did file a compliant with the state because this was not ok and there was another vet and technician who didn’t advocate for me after continuously trying to explain that it was not needed. Staff is also rude and unfriendly. You can receive vaccinations and pet care from the county for better prices and professionalism so I recommend others to take their business elsewhere.

Dr. Adleman (sorry if I spelled it wrong) is great. My puppy is very anxious especially at the vet and he’s very patient and gentle. Also knowledgeable. The staff is very pleasant.

There is no circumstance in which I would ever bring a pet to this place, I wouldn’t even bring a sick plant to this place. I hate leaving bad reviews but I generally fear for the care and safety of animals being brought here. I made the monumental mistake of bringing my dog here today. He had a very sensitive ear infection and this was the only place with openings, the reason why became very obvious. First, they don’t let you go back with your dog for the exam which is bizarre and something neither my dog nor I have experienced. This operation is designed to induce maximum anxiety in your dog. While in the waiting room, a woman came in to file a complaint about how terrible the Doctor was. I should have taken the hint.
