- JRJai RosadoSep 22, 20252.0Giving 2 stars simply for the 2 individuals that helped us, Xavier and Kayla, who were both apologetic and accommodating. However, our first experience with this clinic and it started by having our online appt rescheduled because 5:30pm appointments weren’t accurate, as the doctor leaves at 5pm. We rescheduled for today at 1:15pm. My husband took an extended lunch from work to take our pup in, just to find out that Dr. Goranova had decided to leave for lunch, completely disregarding our time. My husband chose to do a drop off appt instead and come back later. At pick up, we found out that they never ended up doing the nail service we requested in the entire 4 hours of him being there. We’ve had great experiences at Banfields but we will not be back to this location.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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