We went here for identity-verification in preparation to travel overseas - a process that should have taken a couple of days total. The vet's mistakes with the paperwork and poor communication directly caused a *three-week delay* to our travel plans. However, the vet was apologetic and everyone working there was very pleasant.

I had to put my dog down recently after over a decade with her. Banfield squeezed us in when I told them she really wasn’t doing well and Dr. Rios clearly did not mind whatsoever that she had ended up with an extra appointment that day. They made that whole thing just a tad easier and Dr. Rios was very comforting during the procedure. In addition, Dr. Boucher is also amazing, honest, and a delicately straightforward veterinarian. I was able to get my dog’s remains back in less than a week. Thank you to everyone who works there!

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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.
