First time visit the day before Memorial Day since my old pup decided to injure herself. Was turned away from several other emergency clinics that morning (I get it, it was -of course- a holiday weekend and the veterinary field is in crisis), but AMH not only got me in, they were able to slide me into an actual appointment slot while doing non-stop appointments with other clients the whole time I was there. The building was clean and staff was lovely, quick and efficient. The prices were definitely not as bad as I was expecting. Would highly recommend to other pet owners for medical care!

My wife said everyone was nice and professional. But Pre-diagnosis - I don't know X-rays only - $800 Conclusion - I don't know, but you may need to return tomorrow for us to do the same thing again. That seems like a lot of money without any answers. Is this normal? Proceed with caution, unless money isn't an issue. UPDATE: In other notes, I have requested a copy of the X-rays in case of emergency and to share with my home vet.
I received them 48 hours later. They told me that they had not been able to access them since BEFORE my dog received his X-rays. I now have further concerns on how my $800 was spent. I received no answers to my dog's health except shoulder shrugs and my X-Rays may not have even been monitored. Is this why they were inconclusive? I feel taken advantage of I am fortunate that my dog's health didn't continue to decline.

Cannot say enough great things about this animal hospital! We brought our pup here for an emergency hospitalization after she failed to get better with treatment from our regular vet. They did a thorough workup and addressed all of our worries and concerns throughout the process. Dr. Mikes and Dr. Allers were both wonderful and made sure to call and update us. Our girl is feeling so much better after her overnight stay and we can't thank the staff enough for taking such good care of her!

My dog and I have been here twice now due to sickness when our regular vet couldn't fit us in. They've taken excellent care of us both times. The wait times get pretty long if you're there during/after close of regular hours, but that's understandable with a smaller staff. All of the staff we've met have been wonderful. We will absolutely continue to use them.

Our dog had a severe, dangerous intestinal block and may not have survived without the comprehensive, thoughtful intervention she received at AMH. The entire staff was compassionate and professional. We were kept well informed at every point in the long ordeal, with accurate cost estimates. The fact they were open and ready to do complicated procedures even on New Year's weekend is remarkable and the price was still very reasonable. Cannot thank or recommend them highly enough. Oh and also, dog owners reading this: please don't ever give your dog cooked ham bones. :
