I have been with Banfield for over 20 years across multiple states and never experienced the lack of customer service that I have at this location, time and time again.
The same person is always there checking you in and checking you out and she makes no eye contact, she doesn’t smile, she appears as though she hates life. This makes the whole experience uncomfortable, as if I’m an inconvenience, bringing my animals here or asking questions or needing assistance.
I have always enjoyed the vet techs. They have been the biggest reason why I kept going back. I’ve had minimal encounters with the vets themselves. And often, depending on the vet I see, I receive conflicting information.
Every time I’ve come to check my animals out they make me wait 30 to 40 minutes, which shows a lack of communication and efficacy in their checkout process.
At this point I’m choosing to drive further to go to a different location in hopes to have a better overall experience.
At this point I will never return to this location again.

They're nice but their drop off process is a mess and plans keep rising (I know that's not the fault of the office- it's a corporate issue, just be aware). I set appointments to drop my dog off and sometimes I'm waiting over half an hour in a room. Most of the time, I feel like my dog is well cared for but their times even with an appointment leaves something to be desired.

I was a Banfield client for approximately five years and entrusted them with the care of my English Bull Terrier, Thor, throughout most of his life. During that time I spent thousands of dollars on wellness plans, examinations, procedures, and routine veterinary care.
After Thor passed away, I requested a simple factual statement summarizing what Banfield's records reflected regarding his veterinary history and documented temperament. I was not asking for legal opinions, speculation, or for anyone to take sides in a dispute. I was only asking whether Banfield would provide a brief summary based on the records of a patient they treated for years.
I was disappointed to be told that no statement would be provided and that I should rely on the records themselves. I was also advised that none of the current veterinarians knew Thor because the doctors who treated him were no longer at the hospital, despite the fact that he was still being treated there less than a year before his passing.
What made this especially difficult was realizing that after five years of entrusting Banfield with Thor's care, the relationship felt no different than if he had never been a patient there at all. When you trust a veterinary provider with your pet throughout their life, you hope that a meaningful client-patient relationship exists and that your pet is more than just a file in a computer system. Unfortunately, when I needed help understanding and clarifying his documented history after his passing, I felt like the years of care and loyalty as a client meant very little.
As a long-term client, I found this response frustrating. I understand staff turnover happens, but I expected more support from a veterinary provider that had cared for my dog for so many years. While Banfield provided access to the records, I was disappointed that they were unwilling to provide even a brief factual summary of what those records reflected.
My concern is not with access to records, but with the lack of willingness to assist a longtime client seeking clarification about a pet they had treated for most of his life.

I recently brought my pet in to see Dr. Anderson and Dr. Griffin and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care we received. Both doctors were incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. They took their time with us and explained everything thoroughly — from the diagnosis to the treatment options — in a way that was easy to understand and very reassuring. I never felt rushed, and it was clear they truly care about both the animals and their worried owners.
I also want to give a big thank you to the entire support staff! Everyone was so friendly, warm, and helpful from the moment we walked in. They made a stressful situation much easier with their kindness and professionalism.
This is hands-down the best veterinary experience we’ve had. Thank you all so much — we’ll definitely be back!

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?

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).

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
