Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the compassionate, friendly team and Dr. Miller’s clear, thorough explanations. Many mention excellent care over years, gentle handling of fearful pets, prompt follow-ups, and being made to feel comfortable at visits. Transparent estimates and successful procedures (including dental work) also stood out.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While most comments are positive, several owners flagged recurring communication issues, such as having to repeat information, appointment mix-ups, and poor follow-through. Pricing drew frequent concern, with reports of higher-than-average fees, upselling (tests, prescription diets), and policies like requiring exams for routine dewormers. A few reviews described rude or dismissive interactions and one case of a missed/under-treated condition that was caught by a second vet. Some noted the clinic does not take emergencies and advised confirming services (e.g., imaging) in advance.
