Had bad experience twice. I made an appointment online for my baby since he had a minor surgery on his head . He needed to get stitches removed. There was 2 lady that said she don’t see my appointment online . I even took a screen shot. Bad bad bad service. They only care for money. No wonder, women gets paid less!!! I hope they get their Karma. 😈

They take the time to explain everything clearly, answer all my questions, and make sure she feels comfortable at every visit. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she is in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent veterinary care.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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