What reviewers say

55% Mixed sentiment
based on 304 reviews

This veterinary practice is widely recognized for its deeply compassionate, kind, and knowledgeable medical team, particularly during end-of-life care, euthanasia, and difficult grief support, often sending thoughtful handwritten condolence cards and paw prints. The staff and veterinarians are praised for providing thorough explanations and gentle handling of pets. However, the facility faces significant challenges regarding appointment availability, with routine and sick visits often booked months out, and a strict policy against accepting walk-ins or emergency cases. Clients frequently report frustration over long wait times, limited scheduling flexibility, and high pricing on certain services and wellness plans.
