  My vet closed recently so I was looking for a new vet. They popped up online and I signed up for an appointment. I get a call literally 5 minutes later saying I need to make a deposit $25 for the appointment. How tacky. I’ve never done that for my vet. Even My personal physician. Super random to make a vet appointment and have them calling for cash immediately after. I’m not going to give my business to people who are more interested in my money than my animal. They didn’t ask one question about my dog. Just wham bam give us your money! Pass.

  The entire staff cares about the pets and their well being. They understand the stress that the owners sometimes are going through. Thank you

  The staff was zero energy and not very kind. We expressed to them early on that our dog was reactive and we didn’t feel comfortable weighing him next to another dog because of this. The vet tech looked at him and us , and said well I still need a weight. Turned around then asked the owner behind her to just move to a different side … why is there not a separate weigh station in a private room? We finally get into the room and after a very traumatizing vet check with the doctor. Nothing was cleared up, we left the vet with only more concerns. She didn’t really give us any direct answers. Said we’d need an xray to rule out any scary stuff (that’d be a 350 charge plus 222 for a radiologist to review) and then said even that wouldn’t be read to give a definitive answer . That we’d need an MRI to be truly sure. After our dachshund was assessed (which was also not fun for him) he then got a blood draw (that we had to do for meds… $200 dollars again.) scam . And then a shot . We sat in the waiting room for another 30 plus minutes with zero communication while my dog sat with me shaking and upset. Traumatized. The staff here is not empathetic towards animals and truly looking to foot you the biggest bill they can .

  I showed up a day early for my scheduled appointment. My mistake, but they took care of me anyway, and gave my dog his shots. I have been going to this vet for five years. I would not consider changing. I think they’re great.

  We have been coming here for over 3 years and they are pretty good and consistent with their care! The only thing that gets me every time is that we will be in an appointment for either 40 min or 2 hrs, there’s really no in between. Sometimes I get pulled back right away and everything is smooth, other times like today I am in the waiting room 25 min after my appointment time and then waiting again in the exam room. Just some better time management and expectations would make this great! Even just telling me an expected wait time up front.
