- JVJenna VDec 1, 20255.0Firstly, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They’re always welcoming and greet me warmly every time I come in. Secondly, Dr. Running and her assistant were so easygoing and wonderful to work with. They never treated my cat like a problem, and they made me feel genuinely comfortable. I felt safe bringing up any concerns about my cat without fear of judgment, and I could ask any questions no matter how small or silly they might’ve sounded. Last but not least, Dr. Running is extremely thorough and reassuring. I had a great experience with her the very first time we met, which is why I felt confident choosing her as my cat’s veterinarian. I truly trust her and this Banfield location to care for my cat, and I’m so grateful to have found such an amazing team. Thank you!

- STSkyelynn TurnerOct 13, 20255.0Made an appointment and went in with our two new kittens today. It's attached to Petsmart so we got to do some shopping as well. There was no wait, and they were very professional, informed, and kind. Glad we got the kitten care package so we can look forward to returning for the foreseeable future!
- KWKristen WhiteOct 13, 20255.0Love Banfield! Staff are very supportive and very knowledgeable. As a person with a new puppy, I would not want to do this without them. They keep my little guy and I very sane and happy!
- MPMary PhilippeOct 2, 20255.0Excellent service. The only thing I would like to see changed is we pet owners can be in with the vet while our pet's are examined.

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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