WORST VET EVER!
Believe all the bad reviews. Took our dog here for a simple eye infection (which he's had before) and they tried to upsell us multiple times on additional tests to run. Also tried to upsell us on something to minimize any reaction to a vaccine (completely unnecessary). Then tried to upsell us to their membership. Then tried to upsell us on additional services.
We'd been there 10 minutes and had 8 upsell attempts.
This is a money hungry vet who puts their finances above what's best for their customers.
The worst was when they called us later and the recommended medication they quoted was $59. The same medicine is $12 on Chewy and our last vet charged us $22. We asked them to price match and they refused.
This is a vet that recommends unnecessary tests with highly inflated prices and has an rude staff to boot.
Go to this place if you enjoy getting ripped off.
If you read the other bad reviews, you'll see a stock answer from the business, but don't get fooled - given our interaction they do absolutely zero about complaints.

My dog went into the clinic for teeth cleaning and when we went to pick her up her hip was out of joint. She had never had hip problems.They said that they weren’t responsible. We paid them a lot of money to put her hip back in on the next day. When we picked her up the hip was back out again. They refused to refund any money.

My cat had asthma (i had never had a cat with asthma before) and Vet did not catch it or understand what was wrong with my cat. Three different appointments and two medications. I put my trust in the Vet as she said the medication would help him. They forced me to pay for the third appointment after Vet told me to rush him to an emergency vet. Spent 3k at ER for something so simple that had turned into URI. Do not waste your time and money, go to an actual vet and save your pet’s life.

Never sign up for Banfield. They can never see your dog, never dispense medicine. Absolutely a waste of money. Find a private vet and you’re going to be better off. If you want to cancel the plan you have to pay the rest of the year as well. You don’t get your money back.

The staff here have become like family to me and my fur babies. They have helped me and my dogs through good and bad times. They are all so wonderful. From the ladies at the front desk, on the phone or in person, the techs and Dr G. Everytime is a wonderful experience. They help me be the best dog mom ever.

What is 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.
