Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised Dr. Craig’s knowledge, attentiveness, and compassionate care. Many mentioned successful outcomes for complex surgeries and emergencies, clear explanations with follow‑up, and strong results from acupuncture. Reviewers also highlighted confidence with exotics (rabbits, chinchillas, birds, geckos) and the clinic’s ability at times to accommodate urgent, same‑day needs, along with comments about a very clean facility.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

The most common concern was front‑desk service: multiple reviewers described rude or dismissive interactions, booking mix‑ups, and difficulty reaching the clinic or getting calls answered. Availability and access were recurring issues, with reports of the practice not accepting new clients, clients being dropped without notice, slow appointment lead times, and occasional inconsistencies between posted hours and actual opening. Pricing feedback was mixed—no payment plans and a few complaints of high or unexpected costs—though a few noted efforts to keep fees manageable. A handful of reviews also mentioned limits on species accepted or being declined for certain exotics.
