Vet was amazing with my kitten. He was so gentle and kind. The only thing I would say is a tech came in first and wasted 45 mins of our time on trying to sell me a monthly plan. It felt very pushy and not something I’m wanting to get at this time.

I used to have great experiences at this Hospital. They were extremely helpful when I got a cat who was sick from a different pet store. So I recommended them to my Fiancee when he took in a stray kitten named Swamp Thing.
That situation did not go well. They kept the kitten in her kennel for 6+ hours, were so busy they forgot she was even there and past her appointment time, prescribed a medication that gave the kitten FIP, and the kitten had to be put down, because we cannot afford 7k+ for the treatment of FIP. Then Banfield refused to take accountability for the situation, continued to charge my Fiancee for a year for the wellness plan for this kitten, even though it had died. Refused to allow him to transfer the plan to a cat that was alive. Deleted the Kittens profile off of their app so there was no record of their wrongdoing, And was unsympathetic regarding the entire situation. I will never utilize this hospital again. All they care about is money.
The day they gave the kitten a full 1ml syringe meloxicam(which a simple google search says should be administered with extreme caution even in the healthiest of cats at an extremely low dose), they lost my faith that they are knowledgeable and not just out for money.
The emergency vet we had to take the kitten to even stated this above information, and Banfield STILL did not take accountability and continued to charge my grieving Fiance almost 80 dollars a month for a YEAR. After we had just spent 700 at the emergency vet to put her down, AND 600+ to have her cremated.
DO NOT GO TO BANFIELD AND USE THEIR WELLNESS PROGRAM.
All Banfield cares about is money. Not the sick pet you are desperately trying to help. They have no problem keeping them in their carrier and affecting your life. They intentionally overbook themselves to get the most profit, and do not care about whose life is at risk when they do this.
I hope to save anyone else the heartache that my Fiancee experienced.
If you love your pet, you will find a local vet who will work with you, not take them to this corporation who are only for profit.

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?

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.
