I have only had good experiences here. I have not been the best at preparing my cats for a visit but the staff here has always been friendly and helpful to me. The few times ive talked to a vet they've been clear and informative. Going to the vet is never a pleasant experience but they really try their best here thank you

I have been pretty disappointed with this clinic recently. In the past, we’ve brought our other dog and our cat here and always had great experiences. Unfortunately, since the new doctor and staff (who are rude) have been here, the level of professionalism has gone downhill.
At our most recent visit, we were left waiting in the exam room for over 30 minutes after our scheduled appointment time before anyone even came in. That is unacceptable and shows a lack of respect for clients’ time.
On top of that, they called today to move our appointment out by one week because the doctor had too many vaccinations scheduled that day, we were told to just drop our dog off before business hours and pick her up at the end of the day. I don’t understand why we would be expected to leave our dog crated ant their clinic all day just to receive a few shots.
This is not the level of care or service we’ve experienced here before, and it’s disappointing to see such a decline. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as we used to genuinely enjoy bringing our pets to this clinic.

Dr. Makar was rude and acted as though we were bothering him when we wanted to know about our cat’s wellness visit. We weren’t taken into an examination room—had to ASK to speak to him and talked to him at the front counter. It seems as though being a Wellness Plan member gives you less customer service rather than more. My son pays a lot EACH month but we were made to feel as though we were a bother to your practice and your doctor. I plan on making other arrangements for veterinary care for my SIX cats.

Nice enough staff, but holy cow every time I go to fill a script it's a hassle. It has never been a smooth operation.

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.
