    I've been a customer of Foster Animal Hospital for several years now - primarily with my cat (now 11 years old) and more recently adding my adopted two year old husky and 1 year old pomsky to the patient roster. The care we have received over the years has been fantastic. My pets mean the world to me and I am probably on the more extreme end of the spectrum in terms of prioritizing their wellness. I find the staff at this clinic - administrative and clinical alike - to be friendly, patient, attentive and kind consistently. My cat has a couple of chronic conditions that include 'flares' requiring assessment and treatment to manage pain/discomfort/stress. Dr. Aziz has repeatedly availed himself; at times re-arranging his schedule to ensure she is assessed and treated timely. When my puppy was sick a couple of months back, Dr. Aziz texted me daily to check in - and forced her into his extremely busy schedule to ensure she was properly assessed and stable after two ED visits and worsening symptoms. When I arrived to the clinic, I saw that he had twenty patients on his schedule for the day. I can't imagine how exhausting that schedule is; and yet he made room for us; and carried his same, joyful and reassuring demeanor. I feel grateful to this clinic, and thankful to have a provider like Dr. Aziz accessible to my pets. I've noticed some comments regarding cost of services. As a pet owner for the vast majority of my life, I believe that pet ownership is amazing, and it requires tremendous discipline and financial planning to avoid "crisis outbreaks" every time a pet is sick or injured. I have carried a pet insurance policy for the entirety of my cat's life and added both dogs soon after adoption. I'm lucky to have found a fantastic plan that provides significant financial relief for illnesses and emergencies. Even without that, I've had multiple experiences where the clinic staff are extremely clear in quoting services and even conservative in their treatment planning approach in favor of "less is more". I don't experience any sense of being up-sold or pressured in my visits; unlike the ED which did have that kind of pressure to it. I have only found my experiences at foster to prioritize my pet's wellness through compassionate and accessible support. To that end - Thank you to all of the staff at Foster; your work is so valued, and we are grateful to you for your service to our pets.

    They only want to take your money! I’m extremely disappointed and heartbroken with the care my Pitbull received here. She was spayed at this clinic, and just two days later, her incision became badly infected due to poor stitching. When I called multiple times to get help, I was repeatedly told that the doctor “wasn’t in” and that they couldn’t provide care for her. Because of their lack of concern, I had no choice but to take her to an emergency animal hospital — which cost me a fortune, on top of the emotional stress of seeing my dog in pain. When I confronted the clinic afterward, they told me that hypothetical even if my dog had passed away due to their negligence, I would still be required to pay for the membership until the policy term ended. Which I denied and they still had the nerve to call to bill me. I requested to cancel due to the trauma me and my pet endured not only emotionally but financially and they said they would not cancel it and would take me to collection. This kind of response is deceiving and heartless. They showed zero accountability or compassion for my pet’s suffering or the financial burden their mistake caused. I would never recommend this place to anyone who truly cares about their animals. Please think twice before trusting them with your pet’s health.
