I never leave reviews, but dude every last one of them, from the front desk to the doctors, were complete angels. Kind. Patient. Understanding. They broke everything down for me in a way that was easy to understand and no bs. Bedside manners were through the roof. So grateful for this staff. This place will make you feel like more than just a number, they care.

If I could give a 0 star I would, this hospital missed my baby’s diagnosis for an entire year. By sheer luck, I went to a second doctor who finally identified the cardiomyopathy—but by then, it was too late. If it weren’t for the negligence and lack of compassion from Dr. Kurtikov and the vet techs at this facility, my baby might have lived longer.
If you’re considering Banfield, I strongly recommend going to the Lakewood location instead. They actually care about your pets and aren’t just focused on money. Good luck.

This location's service level continues to decline each time I visit. This visit was for pre-paid dental cleaning which included anesthesia. I dropped off my dog@8am, but didn't get started til 10:30. It was recommended a tooth be pulled due to how dark it was. This would NOT be covered by any of my 2 insurances. It was recommended I have X-rays done, which cost extra. Once I got my dog back & took a look at the tooth/teeth in question, there seemed nothing wrong, so an extraction would have been devastating. I was told my dog would be fine to pick up after 1pm, so I called at 2pm & told my dog was not ready. The hospital closes at 5pm, so I called at 4:30 wondering if I could pick up my dog? They told me I could pick up my dog...why didn't they call me, especially since it was time to close? Upon arrival, the staff was laughing about something, yet taking their time. My dog took a bit longer to recover due to the dryness of the tubing used for breathing during surgery...and most of the staff looked new, except for the vet, so I'm simply assuming the procedure was not as smooth as normally done. While this is my normal vet (coming here a few years now), I'm not sure what I will do about my next & future visit!
