Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the team’s compassionate, fear‑free approach and the way even anxious or reactive pets were handled with patience and kindness. Many noted thorough exams, clear explanations of options and costs, and proactive follow‑ups after visits and surgeries. Reviewers highlighted strong outcomes in dentistry, diagnostics, surgeries (including TPLO), and thoughtful end‑of‑life care. Several also appreciated the cat‑friendly setup with separate waiting areas and a calm environment.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

Reviews were overwhelmingly positive, with a few concerns recurring. Some owners felt prices were higher than elsewhere or experienced unexpected charges or quotes that differed from final bills. A handful reported communication or customer‑service hiccups (e.g., miscommunications about appointments or fees, delayed call‑backs, or items not ready for pickup) and occasional difficulty getting short‑notice appointments due to how busy the clinic is. Isolated reports mentioned dissatisfaction with a diagnosis or bedside manner, but these were uncommon compared to the praise.
