The front desk ladies are so rude and so are the vets. I say vets because you never see the sameone. It seems all this co.pa t cares about is squeezing money from you and NOT the pets they are supposed to care about. Not impressed and don't recommend. I have had to call the location on speedway .ore times then I can cou to two hands and each time they are so rude and cut me off and treat.me like I'm a bother. So rude and terrible to treat a paying custo.er that way. I would give no stars if I could.

My yorkiepoo went in at 12 pm was put in a cage. She has severe pain and hinge legs from a herniated disc and needed medication for pain and anti inflammatory meds. Did she get them after 5 hrs of being there? Not! Not a call from dr, and I am out of the country . Waist of time and pet insurance for nothing.

I took my puppy here and was seen promptly. The actual vet visit itself was fine, however I ran into so many issues after the appointment. Getting in contact with the vet office by phone or email is next to impossible. They never reach back out or provide answer. I would not recommend this vet office.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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