Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the vets—especially Dr. Raj and Dr. Mathan—for being compassionate, patient, and highly knowledgeable, with clear explanations and time taken to make pets comfortable. Many noted excellent outcomes, from accurate diagnoses and quick treatment (e.g., Lyme disease, skin conditions) to successful surgeries and thoughtful conservative care when appropriate. Reviewers repeatedly highlighted fair, reasonable pricing with no upselling, and careful handling of anxious or reactive pets. Long‑term loyalty (5–13+ years) and strong word‑of‑mouth recommendations were common.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
While reviews are overwhelmingly positive, several owners reported customer‑service gaps at the front desk, citing unwelcoming interactions on occasion. A recurring concern was difficulty reaching the clinic by phone and delayed or missed call‑backs, and a few mentioned the clinic’s high traffic, advising to book well in advance. There were isolated but serious complaints about diagnostics or surgical outcomes, and one report of unexpected day‑of‑surgery timing for pick‑up. These negatives were uncommon compared with the volume of positive experiences.
