Do not use this location!!! Bad communication. They do not do what they say they will do. They don’t schedule appoints accurately or communicate effectively. Chart shows inaccurate procedures conducted that didn’t happen. Communication is terrible.
Paying high monthly insurance coverage without receiving services scheduled.
Be warned!

Dr. Zimmermann is hands down the best vet to exist. She used to be at another hospital but switched to this one, so we followed her! She never gave up on our dog when she was dying of liver failure when everyone else did, and guess what? SHE LIVED! We will forever be in her debt. Our dog is not friendly, but she tolerates Dr. Zimmermann to an astonishing degree. She is a wonderful person. One million out of ten recommend!

Vanessa was amazing! I needed my baby's medication refilled and she got me in and out. Employees like this need to be recognized and she is an amazing asset to this location. Thank you!

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 Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll.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