What reviewers say
The teaching hospital delivers advanced specialty medicine, 24-hour emergency intervention, and exotic animal care supported by a collaborative team of veterinary students, residents, and board-certified clinicians. Families consistently highlight the profound empathy, thorough diagnostic breakdowns, and gentle handling provided during critical treatments, surgeries, and end-of-life farewells. While specialized departments offer life-saving outcomes for complex trauma, oncology, and neurology cases, visitors frequently encounter extended wait times, high service costs, occasional communication lapses, and strict procedural policies regarding patient sedation.
