Report
I needed an exotic animal vet for my bearded dragon and Sunset Animal Clinic was advertised as such. They fit me in short notice. The staff were very kind and showed genuine care and concern for my pet. The doctor was really fantastic, explained everything to me, provided practical advice. Have medication and treatment instructions, go back in a few weeks. I am confident in the the doctor's diagnosis. They see all types of animals, I will bring my cat there too.

Hands down the best experience I've ever had at a veterinarians office. They were able to work my dog in with no appointment and were just sincerely nice and patient with my nervous dog. I left there feeling good about what I was told and didn't feel unsure. I'm so very grateful. I definitely recommend them!

They are one of the few places that will see exotics including guinea pigs and rabbits. However, i always wait longer than an hour and a half for a scheduled appointment and others who arrive after are seen prior. To wait as a scheduled appointment that long is unacceptable-would be understandable as a walk in or work in. Vet care is just okay. Not very professional. Our dogs have a wonderful, compassionate, knowledgeable vet and appointments seen on time. Unfortunately he does not do guinea pigs or rabbits or our small animals would go there as well!

Dr. Brown and his staff are wonderful. They are so good with the animals. Dr. Brown takes excellent care of my two fur babies. I have been recommending him to my close friends.
