Dr Martinsen and her staff at Rea Farms, Charlotte N.C., definitely demand recognition. They are professional, knowledgable, polite, compassionate, understanding, and always go above and beyond what I have experienced elsewhere. The slogan says Banfield treats your pet as though if they were their own pet is true. Mini, my six year old dog, has been treated at this location since she was 11 weeks old. Dr. Martinsen and her staff are excellent Banfield professionals.

Due to a house move, we recently changed Banfield locations. Our first visit to the Rea Farms office could not have more pleasant. We were graciously greeted by a caring and efficient team, and the office was clean and tidy. We were so fortunate to meet Dr. Molinelli and his sweet vet assistant; they were absolutely wonderful. Dr. Molinelli was friendly, kind, and very knowledgable. It was such a positive experience, and we would highly recommend the Banfield Rea Farms office as a medical destination for your furry loved ones.
Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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