    If I could give no stars I would. This place is horrible. I need to have my pet seen by the vet it was a walk in visit no appointment. After 20mins of waiting they asked me to come back the next day because they were busy. It was a walk in so it's a little understand. So I scheduled for an appointment the next day. It's been almost 2hrs and my pet still hasn't been seen. What's the point of an appointment if they still treat you as a walk in? I highly recommend looking for another vet even if this is the closest one to you

    The staff are very nice, but the wait time is kinda ridiculous even if you have an appointment. I have a 2:20 appointment and and hour later still nothing has been done.

    Terrible. My one year old cat had a urinary blockage. We paid over 2k for it to be unblocked. They sent the cat home three days later. I had to take the cat back again 72 hours later, because it was still blocked. When I took him back, the doctor even said we probably sent the cat home too soon. They also admitted to forgetting to fill the SO diet prescription when we initially picked them up. I had to pay another nearly $200 bill for that second visit. They didn’t do a second blockage removal that day, but said to come back in two days. We did and again they didn’t remove the blockage, said it was going to cost 2k again (despite their two errors on the first process). This has cause my cat so much pain and we basically wasted $2,500 and hours of our time for our cat to be in a worse position than before. Be cautious! I wish I could have spend my money elsewhere, because I know he could he could have gotten better help and now I don’t have the funds repeat the process.
