  Was very disappointed with my experience today. Left with no real true answers! The vibe here is hope you have at least 15-25k savings to save your pets life! They have a care credit card that interests rates are 24.9% absolutely absurd! Truly ridiculous with the pricing. I went back to my vet for a second opinion and they also agreed that cancer treatment plus surgery should not cost 17k. Dr. Strottner would not answer my questions and revert back to “well we just need to run tests to see”. We already know what the issue is! You can clearly see that my dog has two thyroid lumps in his throat. The only thing this place cares about is money and not saving your pet!! If you guys truly CARE you would set up a payment plan. Having a dog with cancer is already stressful enough! I will not be referring any of my friends or family to this place!

  Cannot say enough about how good Dr Strottner and her team are at this facility. They treated my dog for a year with cancer . They were transparent , caring, reasonable, and very accessible to us when we had questions. Having a dog with cancer is very stressful but dealing with them was not a burden at all. We will be bringing any of our future pets here

  I cannot thank Dr. Weinstein and his team enough for their support and care for my cat, Boba. We partnered up this March when a mass was found in Boba’s mouth and was growing so very quickly. They lovingly walked me through all of my options and did not pressure me to choose one way or the other. After Boba’s surgery the team sent us home with a cutie goodie bag and were glowing about how much of a gentleman Boba was. You can tell these professionals love what they do and the animals they treat deeply. Dr. Weinstein especially had extremely good bedside manner and held my hand through some really tough decisions all the way to the end. Although Boba is no longer with us, I can say confidently that in some of his scariest moments he was made comfy by his besties at this clinic. Thank you, Dr. Weinstein and the team at VCA for your care of not only my cat, but of me too. ♥️

  I can’t speak highly enough about the team at VCA CAVS. From the moment I called, the receptionist staff was incredibly responsive and compassionate—they picked up right away and scheduled me for a same-day consultation after I explained the urgency. That level of care and efficiency meant so much to me. The vet techs were equally wonderful: kind, warm, and clearly devoted to both their work and the well-being of the animals they care for. I felt genuinely supported from the moment I walked in. Dr. Weinstein was nothing short of exceptional. He has the best bedside manner I’ve ever encountered—honest, direct, and incredibly reassuring. He took the time to explain everything clearly, and I always felt like my dog was in the best hands. He personally called me before and after my dog’s surgery, and followed up every day during her recovery. He even made it clear that I could reach out on the weekends if anything came up. That level of dedication and accessibility is rare and so appreciated. While no one ever wants to have to visit a specialty vet, the experience at VCA CAVS was truly incredible. The entire team made a difficult time easier with their professionalism, empathy, and top-tier care. I’d recommend them again and again without hesitation. Thanks again for taking care of Raven and her splenectomy! I loved them so much I made them cookies :)

  This practice is easily the best "bedside manner" both I and my dog have ever received in our lives. The staff are all super invested and caring, the doctors very helpful and highly informed. They stay invested in the well being of your dog even after you finish your run with them, and they are highly competent as well. I wish I could bring my dog here for everything.
