- LBLyndsi BremerOct 22, 20252.0I’ll give 2 stars simply because my experiences have not all been terrible. I have been a wellness plan member for about 3 years now, giving this company over $100 per month. I had an appointment at 12:45 today. got there at 12:45 after driving 30 minutes to get there with my stressed out cat, just for them to tell me that the vet goes to lunch at 1 and they can’t see my cat. I have a text confirmation for a 12:45 appointment time. They then told me that I can either leave my cat there (i’m assuming to sit in a kennel terrified) for over an hour and come pick him up later, or to stay in the area with my scared cat and come back at 2. Not the first time i’ve had an issue like this with them. Don’t waste your money or your time with this place. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt after the first time this happened but i am now just going to find a vet office that is organized and actually cares about its patients.
- EPEunice PitkoSep 24, 20255.0Staff and the doctor are fantastic there. I trust them with my cat. They have been taking care of him for eight years. I appreciate them
- MTmichelle thompsonSep 15, 20255.0I love this place is amazing. Ashley is amazing. I had to put my dog Scooter down and she was with though the whole sickness and got to love scooter. I guess his little attitude was charming. I would definitely recommend them to the whole world.
- KMKen MartinSep 15, 20255.0Love the team, but my premium keeps going up with no notice at all Banfield at all.
- DSDonald StraussSep 10, 20252.0Absolutely superficial examination. For a practice that only provides semiyearly service the service took less than 15 minutes with a provider I had never seen before (I have never seen the same vet or vet tech twice for any of his exams. Three times on week days I contacted them because Elkin was ill but they never had an opening to see him. The soonest they could see him was 3 days later

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.
