I recently moved to the area and this office is two blocks from my house, so it seemed the natural choice. The staff has been nice so far. The actual vets, tho, have been a hit or miss. Mostly miss. One of them tried to upcharge me outrageously for services that were half the price and better explained to me by my previous vet, who I ended going to for that particular issue. Recently, I have had two different female vets that appeared very cold and unbothered by the proceedings and one that clearly gave off the vibe that I was wasting her time. My Riki girl has lost her voice and could have an upper respiratory infection, but this vet wrote down on her chart that she could not see down her throat, even when I helped her get it open. She refused to look properly and said “that’s not helping”, as my Riki sat perfectly still with her mouth open. Wrote her off with a “clean bill of health” and she’s over here gagging and hoarse. If I had a different vet in the area, I would go to them instead of praying that I will get an ok service and that I will be able to afford it, since they also upcharge you like it’s going out of style.

Can't say enough of how grateful I have been over the years for VCA's services and kindness to my dogs. My big boy Megatron went in today for an assessment seeming so anxious and scared, but Rylie was an absolute sweetheart and professional with him. Dr. Peck knows him well and thoroughly explained the treatment plan to help him get better. Thank you both so much! I always highly recommend VCA. And a thank you to their boarding services as well! Megatron melts into a puppy whenever he gets around Ryan lol

With our original vet being so booked out they don't care to even try to get emergencies in, I'm glad found vca. They have helped get them in fast and go beyond to help them in various aspects. We go here now more then other original place that we used to go to, place used to go to for over 35 to 40ish years. Sad that taking care of patients is becoming more about money then helping animals in need. Highly recommend this place for your animals.

My husband and I have been taking our dogs and cats here for years, and we've found them to be professional and compassionate. When I trimmed one of our dog's nails a bit too short, we took her in and she was seen straight away, late in the day. When our two elderly cats passed, about a year apart, they were nothing but kind, sympathetic, and considerate of our grief. It was so lovely of them to take their paw prints, and when we received their ashes, they were packed beautifully. We've never had trouble getting an appointment.

I will forever recommend here! My cat had a bad heart (We knew she had a murmur), but its what caused her to pass away unexpectedly at 2 yrs old. She started seizing so we went to the nearest vet. They were able to take her back immediately. There was nothing they could have done as she passed while they tried to work on her. I was devastated. I've never experienced the loss of a pet before. Every single person I came in contact with was so incredibly compassionate. We received a very nice sympathy card in the mail and when I went to pick up her ashes, she was in a nice little urn with some ribbon on it. They also returned the blanket we brought her in with, laundered and wrapped in up nicely. They made an awful experience manageable and I'll be forever grateful.
