    The prices do seem pretty high and i may look for a new vet when my pet is due for their next annual. I also specifically asked if the recheck for a reevaluation after 2 weeks from starting a 2-week only antibiotic would be cheaper and was told yes because it was a recheck. It was still $100 (the same as a regular appointment) when we returned; had i known the actual price I wouldn't have bothered with getting my pet looked at again as they were by then completely fine. The vet I've seen each time is super nice and accommodating. We do seem to wait a fair bit past our appointment time each time I've gone. And when you do go back, you may talk to the vet tech but then wait quite a bit longer for the vet. They do give an estimate to sign before doing any work/seeing the vet. The price for the same annual with my previous vet is about double here and that was with me declining the optional fecal exam that was another $150. Also they dont have appointments readily available. My pet needed to come in for an infection and I was told their soonest appointment was like 5 weeks later but I could go on a wait list for cancellations. I've never had a vet who couldn't see my pets same day (or at the very least the next day) as a sick appointment.

    We came in today for a new patient visit. From the start the staff was very stand offish. We arrived at 1:50 for a 2:30 appointment. Completed all of the paperwork and waited. About 2:30 2 other people came in and were taken back for appointments. The older lady came from the back and said they are running behind. This is now 2:50. I asked why everyone else after me has been seen and I am still waiting. She said she spoke to the other techs about this. Never an apology or an explanation. So at 3:00 I gathered my animals and left. Very unprofessional.
