Report
They took good care of my kitty when I brought him here! Our main vet cancelled our appointment due to catching covid, but we weren't able to wait since my cat was throwing up blood. We were brought straight to a room with him and he was able to be accessed and had a bunch of tests run. I didn't get a firm diagnosis on his condition, but I do have a better understanding of what's going on and can have the records transferred to my main vet for further follow ups.
Everyone working was incredibly nice! There were some long periods of waiting but that's to be expected when there's a handful of other patients being simultaneously seen. Bring a book or something to occupy yourself while waiting and you should be fine. If you have an emergency that can't wait for a weekday vet, then go here!

My first time traveling and bringing my kitty feline to this 24hr hospital facility. Very nurturing and caring animal hospital. Front desk staff was very patient, understanding and professional. I liked the nursing staff and how they came to you and gathered the appropriate notes. And appreciated how the doctor, Dr Barchard comes to you patiently and professional with the medical prognosis and preventive care.
Thanks for the next day follow-up. All positivity is true. Only warning I can offer to the next potential human--fur parent visit is do expect some medium to long wait as this hospital facility gets VERY BUSY! Bring yourself something to occupy your time while you wait on your fur-baby/buddy and to calm your nerves! Happy healing to your pet and thanks Animal Specialty and Emergency Hospital for seeing my kitty!

The staff was extremely compassionate, the female (don't have her name) at the front desk was welcoming and extremely friendly when I arrived and when I was leaving (after midnight on 5/7/22) she talked to me and seemed to really care about what was going on with my dog. The vet (Mary Rowe) took her time explaining everything to me and the vet techs (I wish I had their names but one was a younger male and a very friendly female) were amazing with my dog(older female pit bull).
I was scared the fee to bring my dog in on a Saturday night was going to be outrageous, but it wasn't too much more than what it would be at some of the regular vets office, and I paid the same amount for the tests that another vets office ran 2 years ago. After years of trying to get to the bottom of what was going on with my dog she was diagnosed with diabetes. I was sent home informed and ready to face what I needed to do for my dog that I love so much. Thank you to the staff for being amazing and caring for my dog like it was their own.

The staff was helpful when we called and coordinate with the staff on site to make sure our dog could be seen. When we arrived, we called to notify them and were quickly taken in to an exam room. The tech saw to our dog, asked us lots of questions, including medical history and issues and took him into the back. Once treated the doctor visited with us, reviewed the treatment and plan for going forward. The staff called the following day (Sunday) to check on our dog and make sure there were no later complications. A pleasure to deal with when having an urgent need.
