Report
We had a terrible experience. Very rushed and pushing vaccines without explanation. We did receive an explanation as to why to get a rabies vaccine. "If your dog should bite someone, he will be seized, euthanized and we will have to cut off his head for testing". She is telling me this regarding an 11 week old, 4lb poochon puppy and saying these things in front of my daughter, who also overheard the staff making rude comments about us for asking questions. The treatment that we received was so upsetting. These people are very unkind and not trustworthy. I highly recommend taking your animals somewhere

Report
After a bad experience with another vet, I was unsure what to do for my very anxious/reactive kitty. Doctor Kontur and her staff have taken such good care of her over the few years we've now been going there, and I feel so comfortable knowing they are in my corner. They have made vet visits so easy, and my cat is so much better at vet appointments now.

First time there. They were great at being able to squeeze me in to look at a pair of kittens we found and were only a few weeks old.
