First of all I have to say I really like this vet, I do, but if your an actual established client they never have appointments! Every single time I call they say they have ZERO openings and I can do the call in option. You call starting at 8am and hope to get an opening for that day. Ive tried this process and it NEVER WORKS! I start calling at 7:59 and cant get through, no one answers and by 8:01/02/03 theyre all GONE! When your dog is sick, blood in stool and diarrhea, they show no care and say thats the way it is. I dont want to have to look for another vet, but if

I have been coming to Briarwood for about 8 years, Dr Amy and Dr Joe are very good with my cats and love them like they were their own, the staff is great too, and if I need an emergency, I call at 8:00 in the morning when they open and they always get me an appointment during the day.... Dr Joe is also really good when you have an emergency on a weekend, I had to send two of my cats to the rainbow bridge on a Sunday, and he met me at the office

Called in the evening to see if they had any appointments for my dog the next day. I just moved into the area. They said that they were booked with new patients for the next few weeks but that I could call back at 8am & try to get one of their sick/urgent appointments for the next day or the following day. When I called back right at 8am, the lady I spoke with told me that the sick/urgent appointments were not used for new patients, which contradicted what I was told the night before. Please train your staff and make sure they are all on the same page. No Im am stuck trying to find an appointment

I have nothing but respect for Briarwood. My dog loved coming here. Never afraid. Always treated like there own. Sadly I had to put her down a few weeks ago. Vet Joe was very helpful snd comforting in his talk. Hardest decision of my life. But I made the best one for my best friend. Thank you staff for being so great to my Chico.

Fast friendly service. vets explain what they have done in a professional manner. I miss the direct contact with the vets. Hopefully this stuff will be over sooner than later.
