I’ve always heard great things about Banfield, but this specific location has been nothing but disappointing. Every single visit feels like a test of patience — I’m constantly made to wait excessive amounts of time, get calls to reschedule, or am told to come in at a certain hour only for them to not be ready or even there. My time is valuable, and it’s incredibly disrespectful to treat clients as if we have nothing else to do but sit and wait.
To make things worse, they told me one total price in the morning, and when I came to pick up my pet, the amount was three times higher. No explanation, no warning — just a completely different number out of nowhere. That’s unacceptable and feels like a complete lack of honesty and transparency.
If this had happened once, I’d let it go. But this has been a pattern — over and over again. It’s unprofessional, frustrating, and shows a serious lack of organization and respect for their clients’ schedules. I expected much better from Banfield, and this location has completely changed my opinion.

They cancelled my appointment, after I was already there , and I was 15 minutes early, for my cat. The reason they gave me was "everyone was leaving early today." I will never make another appointment there.

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?

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.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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