- TMtammy martinNov 7, 20255.0The people is friendly and they take good care of my dog.
- BBBatesianBroadOct 1, 20251.0I was really unhappy with this vet practice. I repeatedly told them I'd adopted a feral cat, and she was NOT going to let them examine her. And being feral, I knew this was going to be traumatic for her. I asked beforehand if there was a way to sedate her, and they said because they hadn't seen her before, they couldn't recommend anything. I asked them to be ready to sedate her upon arrival because, again, she's feral and won't let them touch her. When I got there, they didn't sedate her, they took her back for 30 seconds, brought her back in, and said they couldn't examine her. I mean, obviously! They told me I needed to bring her back for another appointment where they could sedate and examine her, and then I'd have to bring her back for a third appointment to remove the cyst I'd brought her in for. I couldn't have made it any clearer that this needed to be a one-and-done appointment if possible and that the cat would be terrified. They spent the whole time trying to sell me some expensive service I didn't need with an expensive insurance plan I didn't ask for. 1) They didn't listen to me, 2) the pushy tactics with the insurance plan, and 3) the three appointments they wanted convinced me they were more interested in following protocol and trying to make money instead of putting the wellbeing of the animal above everything. Not what I want in a vet. I ended up taking her to Care First Animal Hospital, where they listened to me and did everything in one appointment. I do not recommend Banfield at all!
- YKYakov KaganSep 15, 20255.0This hospital doing great job taking care of my puppy. The stuff are very friendly and knowledgeable! They are treat my pet as their own! With my monthly plan I am very pleased! All visits and regular vaccination are covered! Highly recommended this place!

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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