    dogs prescription didn’t get approved so I called so they could approve it. The woman was so rude and snappy towards me she doesn’t belong answering phones and working customer service either the attitude she has communicating with people she doesn’t know. Hope she finds a job that she can be happy in, but it isn’t this one. DO better Banfield!!!!!

    Would appreciate a heads up on extra charges. Not after the fact. And $48 for 2 puppy nail trimmed is obscene.

    My dog Perri has been going here for 14 years. 1 year in Virginia Banfield, 13 years in Manchester Banfield. Dr Steinburg is the best he knows my dog and is great with him.

    This place is horrible!! Brought my cat in on Sunday around 10am and by 4pm I had to put him to sleep due to the negligence of the vet who worked there!! He didn’t even try to save my babies life! Cole was only 14 months old and my heart is completely broken now!! This man needs to be fired and his license taken away immediately!!!

    Dr. Steinberg and his team are wonderful. They take my concerns seriously and help me decide on the best course of action to give my fur babies long and happy lives.
