The place looks nice, the staff talk a good game, but the service is lacking. I took my baby in to be spayed here because the price seemed reasonable and the reception area seemed very nice and modern. Like a hospital. I was assured when I picked her up that evening that I could call anytime day or night and someone would be there. When I got her home I saw that the wound had completely opened up. Not bleeding but still a big open wound. I called but got a receptionist who told me no one was there, she couldn't do anything, and to call back in the morning. I taped up the wound and watched all night. The next morning I went to see my vet at mountain west exotics, who saw me immediately, and stitched her up properly. A reasonable vet bill turned out to put my pet at risk, caused me a sleepless night, and cost an extra $300 for emergency services. I'll never go back to any VCA. I should have done more research because it turns out they're a just another large corporate entity whos primary focus is marketing and profit.

Dr. Barney took such wonderful care of our dog. He performed surgery on Nixon last year, even at his advanced age, and it gave us one more happy, meaningful year together. Without that surgery, Nixon wouldn’t have had the quality of life he enjoyed in his final year. We are so grateful for Dr. Barney’s skill, compassion, and dedication.

Love coming here. Much more expensive than other vets - but Dr. Barney is kind, and takes the time to make sure you understand everything and he is so good with my dog. Worth the money and the drive to feel confident with the care I’m receiving for my dog.
