    If only my human doctors were as kind, communicative, and professional! I have been taking my two senior cats to Dr. Ortiz for several years now, and have always appreciated her time and care. She listens to concerns, and fully answers my questions. I also really appreciate that she lays out all the treatment options, and never makes you feel guilty for choosing a less invasive or cheaper option. The front office staff is also very quick to communicate and friendly. So very thankful to have found Dr. Ortiz and Arbor Animal!

    Not good place for diagnostic for pets. Doctor took a few seconds to have a look at tooth and suggested it may have serious issue there may cause infection. Need x-ray to further confirm and perhaps need to pull the tooth or fix other things. Cost $280 for blood inspection before that and $790 for x-ray and deep cleaning together as package. The tooth is in good condition and nothing unhealthy there so just did a good deep cleaning for tooth. Everything is through normal process and price is normal. Just tried to ask you to spend as much as possible there. Feel like for diagnostic case it is better to do more homework and find better place to save at least 30 percent or perhaps most of the cost.
