Great little animal clinic, I will say that I reached out to them originally as there aren't that many clinics that do 'Certificate of Health' for pet air travel.
Yet, I did have my dogs get a checkup/microchipped here, but ultimately I didn't use them for the certificate of health as they actually referred me to a different veterinary; a military veterinarian which ended up saving me an insane amount of money. They honestly didn't have to say anything, and could have been greedy. Yet, the fact is that they looked out for the client at the end of the day; and just did

Brought 2 dogs in, terrible experience. Do not recommend. Plenty of other amazing vets in the area. Because of the vets passiveness in treating, we lost one of our dogs a week later. Heartbroken. Take your business and pets elsewhere.

We've been going here since long before Covid and it has always been quite busy. I dread going here now. Our cat has chronic problems so we end up there a lot and they are so painfully slow. Half the time they can't answer the phone or put you on hold for 10 minutes. Then you have to wait in the parking lot when you get there- this takes forever, it is really bad. I'm talking 45 minutes just to pick up a bag of food I already paid for. I could have gone in with a mask and grabbed it in 1 minute. It's bad enough we are ready to switch vets. I hate to leave a bad review because

It took us 2.5 hours to get vaccinations done and a prescription of antibiotics. Our dog has an infected wound and they shaved around it without asking us first and then charged an extra $33 for doing so. The doctor also wrote the wrong prescription after we told him which antibiotic we wanted and we waited 45 minutes for a new one... I'm sure this clinic is fine but DONT come here during the pandemic. Total waste of time. Totally was nearly $200 and we saved $60 by filling our prescription at HyVee instead of here. Save yourself time and money at a different vet.
