Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the team’s compassion and professionalism, noting gentle handling, clear explanations, and multiple care options without pressure for unnecessary tests or add-ons. Many mentioned fair or reasonable pricing, thorough exams, and thoughtful follow‑ups by phone after visits, procedures, and surgeries. Reviewers also appreciated the clinic’s ability to accommodate urgent needs, including staying late to see pets and providing supportive end‑of‑life care.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

While reviews are largely positive, several owners reported drawbacks. A few experienced long waits or scheduling delays—especially on busy days—and occasional communication issues or rude interactions at the front desk. A small number of reviewers raised serious concerns about missed or incorrect diagnoses and feeling upsold, and one noted an added fee for faxing prescriptions plus higher in‑clinic medication prices compared with a pharmacy. There were also isolated instances where the clinic could not see an acutely unwell pet and advised going to an emergency hospital.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

  • If your pet is anxious or reactive, call ahead—reviewers noted the team can arrange smoother check‑ins (e.g., going straight to a room) to reduce stress.
  • Book ahead for weekends and be prepared for possible waits during busy times or when emergencies are accommodated.
  • Ask for written estimates and discuss alternatives; reviewers found the team transparent about options and costs.
  • Compare medication prices and ask about written prescriptions if you prefer to fill them at an outside pharmacy, as one reviewer mentioned a fax fee and lower external prices.
  • Keep your phone handy after appointments—many reviewers received follow‑up calls and appreciated detailed after‑care instructions and results.
