Dr. Jensen and her assistant were so good and kind to Koda. And coming out at midnight was so touching and dedicated. Koda improved rapidly from their great care.

I took my cat in as an emergency in the early morning on a Sunday when he was throwing up all night. Dr. Jessica and staff was very patient, knowledgable, and friendly, and took great care of my cat and explaining the exam results. I would recommend this clinic for you pet, whether for regular or emergency care. Thank you!

Was just here to have our newest addition to the family checked out. The vet and technicians were great with her and tried their best to make her feel comfy while she was looked over and given some medicine.

Report
I will pay a little extra elsewhere for the peace of mind of my animals always getting the proper care. I have seen first-hand the mishaps that could have been avoided on multiple occasions directly involving my animals and the staff at S71. If new and preventable injuries are being sustained in the office and aren't handled well, I don't have full peace of mind when bigger situations in a pets life arise that require putting more faith into the veteranarians skill and knowledge.
