I had my first visit with my cat this week & I was very pleased with the service. From the receptionist playing reggeaton, to the tech Eddie helping me out to Dr. Kelly. Everyone was great. My cat is usually really shy & he takes some time to warm up to new people, but he felt very comfortable around Eddie & Dr. Kelly. Thank you for helping us out!

Dr. Polk made me feel very comfortable with Luna's treatment and diagnosis. She was very informative and answered all of my questions.

I definitely recommend this facility.
