Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the clinic’s surgical skill—especially for orthopaedics and back/spinal cases—with many pets regaining mobility or returning to normal activity after TPLOs, hip replacements, and disc surgeries. Reviewers highlighted a compassionate, knowledgeable team that explains procedures and aftercare clearly, follows up diligently (even after hours for some), and treats animals as their own. The facility is repeatedly described as spotless, welcoming, and professional, with some noting quick intake for urgent cases and smooth same-day or next-day appointments.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While most experiences were very positive, a minority of reviewers raised concerns about costs and payment policies, including deposits and strict rescheduling rules. A few mentioned blunt or abrasive communication from the vet or rude phone interactions, and there were isolated reports of being turned away or triaged without service. There are also a small number of negative outcomes reported post-surgery. Overall sentiment trends strongly positive, but expectations around communication style, pricing, and scheduling policies should be set in advance.

Overall Ratings
🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask for a detailed written estimate and clarify deposit, refund, and rescheduling policies before booking—these policies are enforced strictly.
- Prepare questions in advance and expect a direct communication style; many owners appreciated the clear, no-nonsense explanations.
- If your case is urgent, call early and have your primary vet send records and referrals promptly—some pets were seen the same or next day.
- Follow the post-op plan closely (e.g., leash rest, home physio) to support recovery; several reviewers credited strict aftercare with great outcomes.
- Confirm whether imaging (CT/MRI) is recommended and how those fees are handled if surgery proceeds, to avoid surprises.
