They don't truly care about our pets. all they want is money money money... i will be looking for another vet who can cooperate with someone in financial limbo to help a pet with a recurring ear infection. getting a refill on antibiotics shouldn't cost 150.00 for a visit to obtain a 20.00 refill. absolute trash this place is

The Doc and staff were so nice and helpful with all my questions and reviewed all the recommended care for my puppy and everything that he should have done and let me decide what to have done due to my budget. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for affordable and amazing vet care

My cat Fluffy ate one of my son's nerf bullets and needed emergency surgery, The staff, and dr. at this hospital were so compassionate with my baby and got me in right away when no one else could, they even gave me an iPad so I could be included in the exam and see what the dr was doing since I couldn't go inside. the surgery and care was very reasonably priced they even worked with my budget and got my precious baby taken care of right away 😊

Look at all of the reviews on this page. Then look at the ones where there are comments made to them. You will find that they only respond the the positive reviews. This place, this quack that says he is a VMD and his robotic staff do not care about your pets. They care about their pockets. The robot staff are under qualified and I question if any… of them even graduated high school. The quack turned away caring for my dog but yet still wrote and filled a prescription for a strong sedative for him. Not to mention, my boy was a new patient there and he had never seen him before. He still

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO THIS QUACK!!! I took my dogs there on March 27 to establish care, update vaccines and for general exams. Even though I had already given them all the information in advance, they continued to ask for the same info when calling to confirm the appointments. After waiting in the parking lot for an unusual amount of time, a… tech finally came out to the car and immediately presented a bill for $971.00 and stated that I needed to pay before the dogs were seen. I ask what charges were included and explained that I did not want to have several months supply of flea and tick

If you want a place that doesn’t care about your pet and gives you an attitude when you call them out on it then this is the place for you! Also make sure you can pay up front. God forbid you are dealing with an emergency and can’t have your pet seen because you can’t pay but told them you could pay 3 days later when I bring her back for her scheduled shots. Any place that would turn an animal away when it’s an emergency and not even try to help you shouldn’t even be in the business they are in.
