  I would strongly recommend going somewhere else for your pet’s care. My experience at this VCA hospital was extremely disappointing. I felt that there was a lack of empathy and that the focus was more on the cost of care than on my animal’s well-being. When you’re trusting a veterinary hospital with a beloved pet, you expect compassion, understanding, and genuine concern for their health. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. If you’re looking for a veterinarian who truly listens, cares about your animal, and makes you feel like their wellbeing comes first, I would encourage you to consider other options before choosing this hospital.

  I love VCA vet clinics. You can tell they love their job. My little boy got hurt and he had to get some stitches. They had a cancellation and got him in right away. Very friendly, very professional, and you know that they love our pets!!

  Unprofessional, unempathetic, no compassion and unwilling to help, even in the smallest of ways. I was scheduled to bring my dog in for a vaccination that's needed to attend training with my dog. Unfortunately I am disabled and due to this disability, I was not able to take my pooch in myself and needed to send my spouse in my stead. He scoops up our dog from home after just having gotten home from work, hops in the car to go to this VCA location, calls the clinic to let them know he's going to be 12 minutes late but was almost there. The front desk informs him of their " 10 minute late policy " and at their discretion, the appointment would have to be rescheduled. No asking what would make him 2 minutes over time. Front desk had the opportunity to tell the caller to just turn back around, at her discretion, she would be rescheduling the appointment - but does not state or do so. My spouse walks in with our dog, to an empty lobby, front desk having not a care in the world about 1) not being slammed enough to need and hard press the need to reschedule an appointment, 2) communication is limited primarily to the clinic worker and disregard what the customer is conveying, and 3) no empathy or compassion towards a medical necessity. With that, I have taken my 3 animals plus this animal to VCA for years, those 3 animals have since passed away and this current animal is newer, and not once has my family been treated this way. We chose to go to a vet clinic we have not yet gone to before. Even with the price being a little higher, being 3 minutes over the 10 minutes late and ASKED what my reason for being late was, we were still treated with compassion and empathy, still taken in for our appointment regardless of people already being there and a few coming in after us, no problem was made by the clinic. Training is needed for staff who work here.

  Horrid behavior of Staff they created almost worse trauma than having my cat euthanized by shouting at me angrily and bothering my cat and myself. I am very sick and disabled, he was my emotional support animal. I had given him pain medicine and they were worried he would pass before they could charge me the almost 400 for euthanization. It was inhumane and corporate greed which left me sickened so I couldn't even think about my poor cat.
