Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the specialists for restoring or preserving vision through successful cataract surgeries, effective corneal-ulcer care (including grid keratotomy), and compassionate enucleations when needed. Reviewers repeatedly noted kind, patient bedside manner, clear explanations of options, thorough written reports, responsive follow-ups, and the ability to accommodate urgent eye cases for both dogs and cats.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While most experiences were very positive, several reviewers reported poor interactions with the front desk, describing the receptionist as rude or unhelpful and noting issues with call-backs or booking via referral. A few owners felt initial consults were expensive and suggested clearer up-front estimates, especially before pets are taken to the back. There were isolated but serious reports of disappointing surgical outcomes. Some also mentioned that obtaining the first appointment can take time due to the referral process.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Get a referral from your regular vet early and ask to be notified of cancellations to secure a sooner appointment.
- Request a written estimate in advance and clarify any charges before your pet is taken to the back or scheduled for procedures.
- Bring a summary of your pet’s eye history and current medications to help the team tailor diagnostics and aftercare.
- If your pet’s eye issue is urgent, call and ask about an emergency appointment—several reviewers were fit in quickly.
- If waiting on a call-back, follow up proactively by phone or email to keep your referral and scheduling on track.
