Very good experience. Vet was very thorough, caring, and gave us a good first impression. We just moved, so left a good vet we had for over 20 years with 3 dogs and a cat. We were nervous at taking our 8 yr old dog, with allergies, but they treated him, and he came out happy and tail wagging. Always a good sign. Had a much better evening with the treatment he had. We are very happy with our new vet.

While everyone was very nice, and the doctor seemed somewhat competent, something they don’t tell you when you make the appointment is that they will force a rabies vaccine into your pet whether you want it or not. Whether they are sick or healthy. They don’t tell you this until you’re in the exam room and they already have your $80. I understand that it is Ohio State law that all animals must be vaccinated for rabies however it is not the job of veterinarian to enforce this law. I’ve called multiple other animal hospitals in the area asking them if they have the same policy and they do not. I was told the doctor would determine if she was healthy enough to receive the vaccine. However, they gave it to her while they had her in the back room away from me before the bloodwork was done to be able to determine whether or not, she was healthy. There is no law that says veterinarian must vaccinate every animal for rabies whatsoever, this is a lie to get 60 extra dollars out of their clients. To make matters worse I spent $400 and still don’t know what’s wrong with my cat. Everyone I encountered was very pleasant and polite, but there is some pretty shady money grabbing schemes going on behind the scene.

Great care, Dr. Pal was clear about concerns and solutions, and he even called personally to let us know the results from the bloodwork and fecal test. Team is friendly and kind. Close to home is a nice bonus.

This was our first visit and we were given a room right away. The person taking our information was very good with Coco, the doctor direct, but easy to talk to. Lab results came back quickly and the vet himself made a follow-up call with results. Treatment suggested for a little arthritis is minimal which I like. I might have marked this visit as 4 stars because she was trembling. I couldn't see if the big dogs at the front desk were barking at her or if the storm coming was responsible, so I'll hope she'll feel better next visit.
