Banfield called me the day of to move my appointment because it was no longer convenient for them. I showed up 8 minutes late to my rescheduled appointment for the receptionist to tell me the doctor couldn’t see my pet. I understand I was late but I would’ve appreciated some grace given that I had to completely rework my schedule after you asked me for some grace while you got your calendar together.

Went in for a routine visit and to address concerns about bumps on my 9 1/2 year old mini-goldendoodle, Ason. The vet recommended cytology testing on July 31. I paid hundreds of dollars for these tests, which were meant to determine whether the growths were malignant or otherwise something to be worried about.
A week passed with no follow-up, so I called. The receptionist told me the results were in but could not give them over the phone, and said the vet would call me. A few days later, after no response, I called again and left a message. Still nothing. I finally logged into the Banfield website around August 7 and saw the results had been uploaded without any notification. They were highly technical, so I had to interpret the report on my own, and the findings appeared benign.
I received no contact from the prescribing vet at all. On September 5, more than a month later, a Dr. Hannah called to say he noticed the original vet had never gone over the results with me. By then I already knew what the report said, so I did not call back.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this Banfield location. The follow-up on an important health concern for my dog was poor. It felt like a corporate clinic focused on wellness plans and billing rather than real care for pets or the concerns of their owners.
I am giving two stars, as the test was performed, and a non-attending vet eventually followed up, five weeks later.
Update in response to Banfield’s reply:
The response from Banfield was the same generic message they post on other reviews. It did not address the specific issue described here, which was a month-long lack of follow-up on diagnostic test results for my dog. The reply referenced only a general “experience,” without acknowledging the communication breakdown or the details of the situation. This further reinforces the original point that this location operates more like a corporate clinic than a practice providing attentive, individualized care. If you want local presence and relationship, go elsewhere.

I had a 5pm appointment today and arrived at 5. The website and door both say open til 6, but there is no one here and no one notified me about my appointment either being cancelled or whatever happened.
Editing to add, we spoke to a vet tech that came outside. We were told they do not take appointments via the Banfield app/email, only phone, and do not have doctors available on Tuesdays. Claimed they called us, they did not. They're accusing us of having the wrong number on our account, but it's the same one we've always used to make appointments.
This place lies, stay as far away as you can.
Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital
Does Banfield provide emergency care services?
No, but you can call us during hospital hours for urgent care advice. Depending on the situation, we can help provide a referral for urgent care, specialty providers, or to an emergency hospital. During non-hospital hours, please contact your local emergency hospital.
Can I get veterinary care online?
To help pets and their people stay healthy, Banfield clients who have Optimum Wellness Plans® can get remote general pet care advice and triage support directly from a veterinarian 24/7 through Vet Chat™ on the Banfield app.
What preventive pet health care services does Banfield offer?
We believe that preventive care is the most effective way to keep your pet healthy throughout all stages of life. Our pet hospitals offer many preventive care treatments, including:
• Vaccinations
• Dental Care
• Parasite Control
• Nutritional Counseling
• Behavioral Counseling
• Comprehensive Examinations
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.
• Optimum Wellness Plans® Virtual Visits: If you have an Optimum Wellness Plan and scheduled a Virtual Visit, you’ll save valuable time and get quality care from the comfort of your home.
