We have been bringing our cat here since we adopted him. The staff is so friendly and so welcoming. They take really good care of our cat. He recently got sick I took him in, Ave ended up calling after our visit and the Dr called us right back. I'm so happy to have found a vet that is so close and so good.

Report
This vet was highly recommended by a neighbor. We are getting a new puppy. I called to find out when I should bring the puppy in. They said appointments are more than 4 weeks out and the puppy will need a booster shot sooner and that I should go elsewhere. No other options - just take my business somewhere else!

Report
I've been going there for over 10 years. For the last 5 years I've been getting apoquel for my dog that has severe skin allergies ($95 a month). I tried getting the meds through Petco since it was cheaper monthly. They reached out to vet multiple times with no response. When I reached out to vet they said they never got anything and were short staffed so wouldn't reach out to petco. By now I'm a week behind on my dogs meds so I order them through vet. When I ask for a hand written prescription they said they can't give me one since I'm getting the med filled.
