I was not sure what to rate this place because I only been 2 times. The first time was great and the woman working was funny and was so good. Then I have an emergency with another animal went back and it was a different lady working. I explained to her the situation and she said "it would be considered an emergency and be costly". Ok, not a problem. Let's fix my cat. Then she said there are 2 pets ahead of me and I would have to wait and was rude about it. I asked how if I had to wait for 2 others ahead of me why she would have to charge an ER fee? Either way whether I was a walk in or it was an emergency, I had to wait for the 2 animals ahead of me. It's funny how one person at their job can be good and another is just down right rude. It's fine. I found another vet. I'm not certain I will ever go back for my animals or not. I imagine they are good. It was just that other woman working the 2nd time that left me rethinking whether or not I will go back.
