Never will go back here again we called them and told them our dog just had a seizure and she needs to get looked at they just said oh sorry take her to emergency or just watch her and we have an appointment on Monday like really so we went to a different place never will go back they don’t care!. We found another place and take her in right away!. So if your dog is sick and needs to get looked at good luck on this place they will make u wait or say take them to emergency!. What a waste of time!.

Unfortunately, we did not have a great experience here. Our cat had been seen there for a long time and we were having a good experience, but within the last year or two, I think things have gone downhill.
Specifically, we have experience a lot of shortness and sometimes outright rudeness from the people who answer the phone and at the front desk. We've been made to feel dumb for asking simple questions--questions we have to ask in the first place because of lack of communication. For instance, apparently we were supposed to be notified ahead of a visit that the Dr. had recommended that our cat take a sedative before the visit, but it was never told to us, so we had to delay and reschedule an appointment. Then, we were always questioned about if we gave it to him at the right times after that, implying we were doing it wrong because our cat was still not happy to be getting a bunch of tests done.
We also saw the person at the font desk be very rude to an person who was Asian American in a way that made us pretty uncomfortable, as well as loudly talking politics with others in the waiting room. Doesn't seem appropriate.
I feel like the support staff is really hurting their business! Hope changes are made.

Horrible customer service. The vet may be the best ever but I'll never take any of my pets here. Apparently if i want any information about cost regarding specific lab work I need to pay $60 to see the vet. I ended up calling another vet for the info I needed (cost $0).
