Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the kind, welcoming team and a calm, compassionate veterinarian who clearly explains options and answers questions without rushing. Many noted excellent handling of anxious pets, seniors, cats and dogs, and appreciated follow-up calls/emails. Reported outcomes were strong, with successful treatments and procedures ranging from pancreatitis recovery and routine spays to complex TPLO surgeries.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

While the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, a small number of reviewers felt the medical assessment missed the mark or that little was done during an urgent visit. Pricing feedback was mixed, with some citing reasonable costs but others mentioning inconsistent or high fees, add-ons (food/supplements), and being charged additional exam fees for follow-up vaccines. One older review described a distressing euthanasia experience and another mentioned a rude front-desk interaction. Overall, concerns were the exception rather than the rule.
