    Absolute worst experience. The staff is short and lacking all empathy and the lack of communication is the worst I've seen at an emergency vet ever.

    Truly grateful to the Dr.s, vet techs, receptionists and staff at compassionate animal specialty and emergency hospital. I brought my 13 year old pomchi in gasping for air and near death. 24 hrs later he is home and resting. You are truly miracle workers. Thank you for doing what you do and for giving my little guy Larry a second lease on life.

    The staff is outstanding, they make sure to see the most emergent pets first and are so kind. I was worried about the cost but was pleasantly surprised by the bill and thought it was very reasonable for emergency care.

    My grand daughter and I brought our very old and very sick cat in to be put to sleep.It was her time. We were both very sad. She was with us for 23 years. She was such a great girl. My grand daughter loved her so much. You were all so kind and compassionate. You made a very sad process as comfortable as possible. Thank you all .You were very busy, but you took the time to make us a priority. You told us to take as much time as with needed. Thank you. It meant so much. We sure miss our girl, but I will never forget your kindness.
