I absolutely love this place because of the people in it! They take exceptional care of my sweet Maddie girl! But outside of that, they take their time with me as a pet parent! They take the time to talk with me and listen to me! Im comfortable asking questions and discussing my baby's treatment plan with open minds and hearts!! That is priceless! They are all such great people! From the front desk, to the vet, and EVERYONE in between, I can't thank you enough for what you do for me and my sweet baby girl!!

The vet on duty was ace. But my dog is very scary. She relieved herself on the tech's shoes in the back room. I could hear the commotion and she yelled out my dog could get euthanized for all she cared and some other comments. I've never had such an experience at this location and really thought I could trust them with my crazy scared fur baby. Now I'm revisiting that belief. And yes, my dog was muzzled, they've treated her numerous times, I repeatedly recommended deeper sedation on previous vidits, and here we are. Even though they are overpriced, I didn't mind because I believed my babies were in good hands. I have four cats and a dog. Three of my animals have gone there due to age- senior cat, illness- another cat, and neurotic dog - need higher skilled vet to manage fear. Front desk person is consistently a sweetheart. Their techs are varying degrees of compassion, and their vets have mostly been good to great.

I had very good experiences with my cat and dog until recently called three times after spending $1,700 for surgery and trying to make appointment for euthanasia as cancer came back after 3 months. Three times put on hold gave my number to call me back as was aggravated they couldn't talk to me!!. I'm looking for some other options. Don't know what happened but obviously can't talk to clients unless emergency. Done with them. I've been there so many times but all of a sudden can't answer my phone calls unless emergency. Sorry Dr. Mal you need better staff who cares and answers the phone.
