Maybe try them after the pandemic. I got to my appointment early, checked in, Then 15 mins after the appointment time, had to call again to get seen. They came out, took my dog in, called to charge my cc $400, then gave my dog back. No call from the doctor, no apology for being late, no explanation about how my dog is doing.

I have just started with this clinic. All of the staff were responsive, and Denisha and Dr. Gustavson took great care of my dog Amato on this first visit, giving him two shots and eyedrops, holding him firmly on the table. I am glad to have joined this animal hospital!
