Great staff now!
I hadn't used them for a couple years, but gave the Alabaster Banfield another try when I needed an emergency vet visit in April. The staff and the Dr were all great, so I decided to keep coming to help get my dog's allergies under control.
Dr. Krol and his staff, Erica, Kayce, and Viv, are wonderful. Knowledgeable, kind, and great with my anxious dog. They don't push procedures or meds that aren't necessary.
They also keeps me in the loop about what medicines are going to have coupons so I can save whatever money I can.
I've also had a visit with Dr. Ross. Though not the vet I usually see, she was also very knowledgeable and helpful. She also handled my anxious dog gently and helped me get him through a bad skin reaction he was having.

I can’t say enough great things about my experience at Banfield Pet Hospital. From the moment we walked in, the staff treated my animals with incredible care and kindness. Everyone there was not only professional, but truly compassionate which made a world of difference.
Dr. Krol is an amazing veterinarian. He takes his time to explain everything clearly, never making you feel rushed or overwhelmed. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about his patients and wants pet parents to feel informed and confident in their pet’s care.
Erica, the manager, is also fantastic. She’s friendly, efficient, and clearly keeps the hospital running smoothly. You can tell she’s committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment.
Overall, I’m beyond impressed with the level of service and attention we received. Knowing my pets are in such good hands brings me so much peace of mind. Thank you to everyone at Banfield! You’re truly outstanding!

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?
Optimum Wellness Plans are designed to provide annual preventive care. They include head-to-tail exams, vaccines, early screening diagnostics, consultations for proper nutrition, dental care and more! Since wellness plans are not insurance, they do not include treatment for unpredictable or abnormal conditions, however discounts would apply. Because pets need ongoing preventive care, wellness plans automatically renew at the end of each twelve month period (unless paid in full at enrollment).
How do I pay for an Optimum Wellness Plan?
You can spread the cost of your wellness plan across the 12 months of your annual agreement to make it easier to budget for the essential health care your pet needs. Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll. We also offer the option of paying in full if you prefer.
What kind of appointment do I have?
• In-room appointments: You and your pet visit the vet together. Please arrive a few minutes before your appointment time
• Drop-off appointments: If you have a drop-off appointment, we will communicate a time to drop off your pet. Keep your phone nearby and we’ll call you when your pet is ready for pickup.
