I am literally in tears as I write this review... I have never in my life had a vet treat my dog and I so poorly. The doctor and the assistant treated my dog as if she was so viscous that she needed to be put down which was not the case. The doctor and the assistant walked in with a negative attitude and a muzzle for my dog without even asking me, I explained to them that they need to let my dog get comfortable with them so that she wouldn't be anxious around them but they said "not a chance, she looks like she's ready to bite us," which was not true. My dog had a hard experience at a different

On the recommendation of a friend I tried this clinic. First they screwed up the appointment time saying 10:45 tomorrow, my daughter had to take our very sick kitty in the next day because I had to work. She arrived on time, only for them to say she was on the wrong day. It would be the next day. Very disappointed to have to crate up our poor cat for another car ride the next day. On the next day my daughter and cat had to sit in the waiting area with unleashed dogs running around, coming up to the cats carrier, getting our very sick kitty traumatized. By the time they made it to the exam
