It doesn't look like much on the outside and it's no frills on the inside, but the veterinarian and his assistants are kind, helpful and efficient. Their prices are very affordable. I was there to get puppy shots. The only thing I was disappointed about was how dirty the scale looked. It made me feel like they aren't cleaning the floors and equipment very well. Also, Yelp's hours for this business are not correct: They don't open until 9:00 am on Saturdays.

This is a very good vet for shots to minor urgencies. The prices are affordable. The staff is friendly. I started taking my dog here because my regular vet was getting so expensive. My dog gets all the same shots and blood work she would at the other place just much cheaper. I would and have reccomend them to friends.

Yelp has still not sent me my refund after waiting period of 10 days! Makes a person wonder how legitimate the YELP refund process and purchases!?!
