Our experience with DR. MOHAN is the reason for the two-star review. Banfield should NOT employ a veterinarian of this caliber, particularly when her lack of clinical judgment had real painful consequences for our animal in her care.
The appointment felt extremely rushed, and Dr. Mohan did not examine Pogue in front of us which we did not appreciate at all. That made the entire interaction feel impersonal. We told her we suspected Pogue had a UTI, and she IMMEDIATELY cut us off. Instead of asking additional questions or investigating further, Dr. Mohan solely focused on the fact that we left her water bowl down and told us to take it away because she was drinking too much before we could even explain the other symptoms, and the way she responded made us feel like we were STUPID or somehow at fault. Pogue is not our first puppy..
We brought Pogue back to Banfield today after continuing to insist something was wrong, and she **DOES HAVE A UTI**. She has likely been in pain from this infection for over two weeks since our original appointment. If Pogue develops complications such as kidney stones or a more serious infection because her UTI went untreated for over two weeks, we would hold Dr. Mohan entirely responsible for that outcome. We brought our concerns to her, and she chose to dismiss them rather than properly investigate them.
We were also told today that Dr. Mohan is essentially a filler veterinarian who primarily sees wellness appointments. Given our experience, if Banfield is aware of concerns with her approach, as the reaction to hearing her name seemed to suggest, I genuinely question why she is still seeing patients. Her dismissive attitude and clinical judgment are what ultimately turned us sour on this location.
To be fair, the front desk staff today were absolutely amazing and very helpful. However, after having to return for testing and treatment for an issue we had already raised, it would have been nice for Banfield to acknowledge the situation and make some effort to make it right...

Frequently Asked Questions About Banfield Pet Hospital
Does Banfield provide emergency care services?
No, but you can call us during hospital hours for urgent care advice. Depending on the situation, we can help provide a referral for urgent care, specialty providers, or to an emergency hospital. During non-hospital hours, please contact your local emergency hospital.
Can I get veterinary care online?
To help pets and their people stay healthy, Banfield clients who have Optimum Wellness Plans® can get remote general pet care advice and triage support directly from a veterinarian 24/7 through Vet Chat™ on the Banfield app.
What preventive pet health care services does Banfield offer?
We believe that preventive care is the most effective way to keep your pet healthy throughout all stages of life. Our pet hospitals offer many preventive care treatments, including:
• Vaccinations
• Dental Care
• Parasite Control
• Nutritional Counseling
• Behavioral Counseling
• Comprehensive Examinations
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.
• Optimum Wellness Plans® Virtual Visits: If you have an Optimum Wellness Plan and scheduled a Virtual Visit, you’ll save valuable time and get quality care from the comfort of your home.
