I have been trying to hold back my opinions on them ,but Im really disappointed at them as I move along my dog treatment with them. This hospital is very business-driven.The doctor cares more about doing business and making money than caring about my dog. She pushed over more expensive treatments than my dog actually needs , and the monthly refill request is totally a disasterI have been calling them 4-5 times a day to request a refill for my dogs prescription,but the doctor seems care less about patients when it comes to no-money request , she is not responding with a positive and timely

I wish we had seen dr Ricci first then maybe this review wouldn't be so bad. Took my baby for infection from tooth. Wasnt given options. Wasnt explained what dentist had said to them. Was charged for a service they couldn't perform first day. Wasnt told what they neede to do until he was sedated. Was told no additional meds then there were. Was told post op by Dr ricci but front desk gave conflicting post op instructions. And I still have to take him to dentist for problem I went to them for.

My regular vet was unable to get us in easily but recommended NTAH. They are fantastic (and closer to where I live now). As much as I love the vet I've been going to for years I happily plan to transition at least some of my crew because I felt very comfortable having my fur kid seen here.

Dr.Ricci is the best. She saved our dogs live. She answers calls and calls you back. The front staff can be alittle better. This is a very busy place and hard to get through and be seen also not sure if everyone gets all their messages but i will not take anything away from Dr. Ricci.
