Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the compassionate, knowledgeable team and how clearly they explain diagnoses, treatment options and aftercare. Many reported being fit in quickly for emergencies or short-notice concerns, successful surgeries (including TPLO/cruciate repairs), and diligent follow‑ups. Nervous or reactive pets were handled gently, and multiple reviewers highlighted respectful, supportive end‑of‑life care.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few noted the clinic can be very busy, with occasional booking challenges or a rushed front desk experience. Some raised price concerns or perceived upselling, and a small number mentioned miscommunication about medications, an incomplete nail‑trim visit that was still charged, or a procedure that needed to be redone elsewhere. One report described a poor bedside manner toward a specific breed. These issues appear infrequent compared to the volume of strong endorsements.
