My experience was excellent with Ayesha Brannon she made it very easy and explained well she made sure I understood the prescriptions for my dog.

First time here. Long wait dropping off and picking up with no apologies or even an “I’ll be right with you.” The receptionist needs to work on customer service and professionalism—her priorities were clearly amiss, as she focused on personal opinions and comparing her parenting style instead of acknowledging the wait or doing her job. I came for my pet’s care, not irrelevant commentary. Professionalism clearly needs work.

My friend and I brought her cat to this vet. We had an appointment for 2pm, however we were not seen until after 3pm. We went out at about 2:45 and asked the woman at the front desk how much longer it was going to be, as we had somewhere to be at 3:30. The woman gave us the biggest attitude and did not tell us when we would be seen. We ended up missing our 3:30 appointment, as they ran far too late. I understand running late, but not being seen for over an hour after our appointment time with no communication and a rude attitude is ridiculous.

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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