I had an appointment for a nail trim for my dog. When I came in, I waited for fifteen minutes before they even acknowledged and checked me in. I understand they are understaffed but they should have more staff so the service is not so bad.

Ive been bringing my 4-legged companions here to Dr Wu for 30+ years. 5 dogs, 2 cats. She is an exceptional vet and really works WITH you. I appreciate that. The team is great, efficient and committed. You can tell they're happy working there and it translates to exceptional customer service. And that starts from the top. It's definitely a well run practice.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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