  Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the level of veterinary care I received. When I raised concerns, they were largely dismissed based on the fact that my cat “looks great.” While a general visual assessment is useful, it cannot rule out problems that may require a more thorough examination or appropriate diagnostic testing. I was also concerned that medication was prescribed without sufficiently evaluating the underlying issue first. In some circumstances, the wrong medication can potentially worsen a condition rather than help it, which is especially concerning when a simple diagnostic check could have provided more information. I have extensive experience caring for and handling animals, so I am not raising these concerns casually. I expect a veterinarian to take an owner’s observations seriously and investigate concerns appropriately rather than relying solely on how healthy an animal appears. For routine vaccinations and basic preventive care, this clinic may be adequate. However, based on my experience, I would not recommend it for animals with health concerns that require careful examination, diagnostic work, or more specialized veterinary judgment

  Worst vet clinic. Worst vet experience. The first time I went the vet rushed through the process like my cat was just another number. Very impersonal / cold. The second time I went, I was late 15 minutes (I live about 10 miles away so it’s a 30-40 minute drive with traffic). I was told the vet would see my cat, so they put me in one of the rooms. I literally waited 30 minutes in that cold room. NO ONE came in the room that whole time to check up, give me an update on the wait time, NOTHING. I ended up leaving the room and told the receptionist that I waited 30 min and the look on her face, she didn’t care. I asked her if my cat would get seen within the next 10 minutes. She said she could ask the vet. At this point I didn’t believe her and I ended saving myself probably an extra 30 minutes to 1 hour because I decided to leave. I literally wasted a whole 1 hour and 30 minutes (30 minutes driving there, 30 minutes waiting, 30 minutes driving back home), plus wasted $7.50 in gas. She could’ve saved me the time and gas by answering the damn receptionist phone when I called. These people don’t care about you or your pet. Save yourself the time and DON’T COME HERE.

  The staff are caring and conscientious. They are more thorough than other vets I have worked with. They also have a car adoption center.
