The staff is incredibly rude and inconsiderate. This place isn’t equipped to run as an emergency vet. They will not tend your pet like other emergency hospitals including VCA chains. To be asked to wait hours and then told my cat won’t treated for hours is genuinely messed up to the patient: my cat. I went to VEG ER for pets and the difference literally made me cry. I was also quoted less $ for diagnostics. Also, the staff isn’t medically competent. They were trying to sell me a lot of a diagnostics after coming back because he wasn’t feeling better. My cat needed an IV immediately. He was treated immediately at the new hospital. I’m literally paying 1k less and I’m being treated better + better lounge area.

If you love your cat, please avoid this place by any means necessary. Incident 1: Last night my son found an injured kitten and brought her in for help. The staff did not even want to do an exam and immediately wanted to euthanize her. Mind you my son was not asking for free care but these people did not want to give her a chance.
Incedent 2: Three years ago my son had found another cat who was also a young pregnant female. She started delivering her babies late at night (she was carrying 4) and the first two died.
I called the clinic and told them the situation and that she still had 2 more kittens to birth (she had an ultrasound at another provider but they close at 5).
The lady I spoke with was so indifferent it was upsetting. When he got there, they checked the cat and said the kittens were alive and brushed him off.
She gave birth to the other two kittens who died shortly after birth because she didn't know what to do and my son is not a vet.
Thankfully the kitten from last night is now in the hands of a competent and empathetic vet at another clinic.
Horrible clinic.

Dr. Wang excellent veterinary ophthalmologist. Our beautiful dog had "cherry eye," & Dr. Wang did an excellent surgical repair on our dog Pushinka. During first post ophthalmologist appointment Dr. Wang visually couldn't tell which eye she did surgery on because of no swelling or redness. We are forever thankful to Dr. Wang and staff. Follow up in one year!!

The bedside manner of the techs here is not great. Did what had to be done but the environment and tone were unfortunately not very professional.

Do not take your pet here.
My sister dog was hit by a car. They took her in right away (surprised it was so quick). Then a lady came in the room and told her that she needed radiography pelvis or hip x-ray $540.75, 2 hour radiology interpretation $238.60, and a sedation radiology $83.30 and a doctors visit $180.10. She asked if they can just do the x-ray they told her no. Then she thought the doctor would come in the room to talk to her, they never did. They told her they need to do it all or we cant help her. So she took her dog back. My sister thought she would not owe anything because she never saw a doctor, nor did they come in the room to speak to her. But they chg her for the visit and pain meds on top of that. She asked, "why do my dog need pain meds if you cant tell me if anything is wrong? They said the dog might be in pain, this is for just in case she is. She left very upset and angry. She will never take her dog there again. VCA does not care about your pets, but they are all about the money they can get out of desperate pet owners. Her regular vet called and her dog is getting the care she deserves with out being taken advantage of.
