Doctors and techs are great but front desk staff is incredibly rude and unprofessional.

The absolute BEST veterinarians and vet techs/assistants you can find. They are always courteous and kind and a wealth of knowledge. My fur kids are always seen on time and are handled with tons of TLC. I can’t imagine taking my animals anywhere else. I have complete confidence in the care they provide. The peace of mind I have bringing my pets here has kept me returning for over 14 years. Thank you Dr. Freedman and your amazing assistants! You are appreciated beyond measure.

Unless you want to be shamed at every single visit if you don't elect to spend hundreds or over a thousand regularly on procedures that aren't necessary, don't go here.
They have kept my pets healthy for three years, but I'm just tired of explaining why I don't want to have my healthy pet operated on.
They don't spend time with your pet and don't seem to care what would make the dog most at ease.
We will not return.
