  Dr postel is an expert at animal health and care. She is extremely knowledgeable and informative. I was extremely lucky to have her as my emergency Doctor for my cat Meelah.

  We’ve loved the care here. Our cat, otherwise a loving creature, does NOT do well at the vet. They’re tolerant with her bad attitude. Our dog is treated like a queen here. She’s been seen for a variety of things and is getting great care by Dr. Olinger for her arthritis. The front office staff have always been kind and friendly.

  I was incredibly stressed trying to find a place to board our cat after a recent surgery when our regular facility wouldn’t take her. The entire staff, literally everyone we encountered, was genuinely compassionate, helpful, knowledgeable, and clearly cared for the animals in their care. They were exactly what I needed in a moment of high stress and emotions, and I can’t thank them enough for coming to our rescue in the best way possible. The cost was higher than our regular place, but they gave her medications with no issues, navigated feedings with a cone on, and sent daily updates. Absolutely would return here for boarding.

  I'm giving two stars (otherwise I'd give one star) because my experience wasn't ALL horrible, and I'd like to give credit where it is due. I came here for the reproductive specialty with Dr. Cortez. First, it wasn't made clear to me from the outset that the reproductive techs are only around half the week. Had I known that this would mean my female couldn't get the desired reproductive services when her timing was right, I would've gone to a different clinic (they can only perform transcervical insemination half the week when the repro tech is available; the rest of the time insemination will have to be surgical). This is truly difficult to work around since female dogs are ready for insemination on their own schedule--obviously. Second, Dr. Cortez was initially responsive to my inquiries via e-mail, but he responded once or twice, then was nowhere to be found again. My female had all her pre-breeding exams, progesterone tests (multiple), inseminations, and her c-section done at this clinic--therefore developing a fairly large bill with this vet. You'd think bedside manners would be a little better. The front desk employees are completely clueless (they have little to no dog knowledge whatsoever, completely miscalculating dog gestation periods and even common dog breeds--you'd think at a repro specialist, employees would have more basic knowledge). Dr. Cortez also only works half the week, and he wasn't around for the tail-docking procedure of my show-quality Rottweilers, so a different staff vet performed the BOTCHED dock job. We confirmed prior to the docking that we'd keep one vertebrae. It was WAY MORE than one vertebrae that was left. Any veterinarian (or even lay person) with half a brain could tell you that. I had to have a revision dock performed at a different vet--which is absolutely horrible to have to do. Multiple experts confirmed the vet left behind 3-4 vertebrae. Also, I was never given a follow-up call despite their knowledge that they botched the dock. Overall, I would avoid. They charge a whole lot for limited availability and their staff veterinarians are pretty clueless, sadly. Your dogs & puppies will pay the price for their ignorance and/or unavailability. Additionally, don't expect any after care for pretty big procedures except for one or two one-line e-mails from Dr. Cortez. Very disappointed and will never be able to use their services or recommend them.
