    If you love your dog, do not bring them here. These people are incompetent. They only see dollar signs and do not care about your dog at all. Examples: We have two dogs. For our first dog they told us she did not need to take heartworm preventatives until she reached 1 year. She has a lot of anxiety and the vet refused her care over 5 times even though the dog is not reactive to humans. When she finally got care (about 5 months later) she had heartworm, it costs us over 5k to cure her. Second dog had a skin tag that looked like a pimple. We got it checked. The Dr. told us to not worry about it and told us that taking a sample to study was not necessary. We got a second opinion about 6 months later. Our dog has a malignant tumor that this incompetent doctor failed to diagnose. Every single visit was more than $300 and the care was incompetent and resulted in negligence that costs us thousands of dollars and most importantly almost cost us our dogs. If you are a responsible dog owner that cares about their pet’s health. DO NOT BRING THEM HERE. These people will overcharge you and will not provide adequate care. They are scammers and should be held legally liable for their breach of care.

    Dr Ezeani is without a doubt the bet vet we’ve ever had for our dogs. We recently moved away, but have yet to find a place and doctor quite like VCA and DR Ezeani. The staff is so friendly and always remembered us (unsure if that’s a good thing or not 😂). With one reactive dog and one with A LOT of anxiety we were used to being treated like horrible dog owners at other places, but the staff at VCA made us feel the complete opposite. They understood our dogs special circumstances and worked with us to give them the best care and us peace of mind. Onto Dr Ezeani- not enough praises can be given for this man! A wonderful doctor who listens to all concerns and is incredibly knowledgeable. He is gentle and patient with our dogs while delivering the best care. Even through curbside service I felt our dogs were well taken care of and we felt great about it. I have considered driving the 4+ hours to come see Dr Ezeani and the staff at VCA one a year! Also- I should add the prices here are great, especially for the area. Dr Ezeani & staff- Kenji and Obi miss you all! Thank you for the years of wonderful care 💕

    I brought my puppy in worried he was having respiratory problems. The vet and technician were extremely attentive, calmed my nerves and were very gentle with my dog. This is now our regular vet and my pup actually doesn't mind going!
