I had to take make cat Bebe here because she decided to eat a large pile of string. ( I know now to make sure to watch what is on the ground with this one) unfortunately she had to have surgery. But I'm so happy it was with this Er! Let me start out everyone here is so kind and so caring for the animals! Obviously prices for an Er is not cheap and Dr Farrell was very kind with us. It was hard to come by the money but I had some friends that helped me out. Anyways the night of, after her surgery, he called me and told me they had to go in through a 3rd location but only charged me for the 2 that I had Initially got charged for * I really appreciated that* and then he told me he was still concerned with her intestines and that he didn't want me to think everything was A okay when in reality it wasn't which I really appreciate him not sugar coating it for me! But not only was he an amazing vet his team is also amazing. Everyone that watched over her told me how much they loved her and they were completely fine with me calling every morning and every evening! My baby Bebe is doing amazing and it's only been 3 days post op. She is so alert and interacting with us and she seems so much happier! I just want to thank everyone that helped me and my bebe out!🤗 highly recommend this ER in an emergency!

Very clean clinic. Amazing woman at the front desk on the day I took my baby. Don’t remember her name, but it was 5/20 7pm. She was wonderful, and very, very good at her job. Between running back and forth answering phones and setting up/cleaning rooms, she was still there to answer questions, take payment, and give well wishes for my Penelope. The doctor was pleasant enough, although wasn’t very clear on diagnosis and how it happened. Overall- emergency services were professional and lifesaving. I would return.

My dog had a gash in her hind leg and its Memorial Day weekend. Mobile was too full so I drove her to this Emergency Vet. They were very helpful and patient because it was around 10 pm when I got there. It was a bit of a wait but considering there are very few 24 hour Emergency Veterinarians, it was a blessing for them to help me. I had to leave her so she can have surgery; they called me after she got done and how she was doing. I could tell they took care of my baby and they were informative about her after care treatment. They were understanding when I couldn't make it once she was awake because of the drive I had to take, which eased my anxiety in being judged for not picking her up sooner. Thank you to the staff that helped us :)

The vet and all of the staff are amazing! They explained everything throughly and gave us options. He wasn't able to perform one of the procedures because our cat expelled her bladder while in sedation. He informed us and then took that procedure off of the bill. We never would have known if he did the procedure or not, so him telling us and removing it from the bill shows it is a trust worthy establishment. Hopefully we don't have to ever go to the ER again, but if we have to we will go here 100% of the time. #EmbersFixed.

We brought our dog, Jester, in on a referral from our vet. Every person we encountered was so compassionate and kind! Before they did anything, they explained the entire process to us, and were very detailed with cost. They kept us updated regularly before, during, and after his surgery, to remove a rock. When we were able to go pick him up the next day, they said it hadn’t cost what they estimated it would, so they credited us back the remaining money. Thanks to them, and their quality of care and attention, we have our boy back home with us, recovering, and his sister is much happier! Thank y’all!
