If you want just a super fast check up this place is probably fine for you but not as a permanent vet choice. This is my first puppy and I went there with a handful of questions for raising her. I was given very short exasperated answers. My puppy also didn't receive some things that I was later told are normally part of a routine check up. They probably have so many animals in and out that they feel they don't have the time of day for everyone. Maybe the office ladies don't get treated very well and they carry it down onto their patrons? Whatever the reason I would rather find a vet who takes

Got in very quickly for a first time vet appt. Everyone was amazing I can't say enough good things about them. My pup was having seizures and I was a very worried mommy and they took the time to explain everything to me and reassure my anxiety. My girl was very well taken care of
