I came here with my dog, I wanted to get her checked to see if she was pregnant. They clearly told me she wasn't and that 3 doctors checked to see to confirm she wasn't. She is pregnant. I'm not prepared for her to have these babies because these doctors didn't do there job right. She's going to have about 3 or 4 babies. It's frustrating and a lot of money was spent for that appointment. Money thrown to the trash.

No more again, very disappointed. In general, the vet was good, the office (staff and management) is bad. the only thing that the office/management cares about is their price and profit. The treatment price is not transparent and only tell you when you at your appointment that the price went up from $575 to $725. and the $575 estimate was mistaken so they could not honor it, and sorry nothing they will do!
They blamed on the vet gave wrong estimation but management couldn't take the responsibility, and wouldn't give you breakdown until you ask for it, then it shows there is another $90 for consultation that was not included in the estimation. sigh~ I had missed a week timing to treat my senior dog, and one week is a long time for the little poor thing! Never give them the third chance!

Very unprofessional staff on the phone. I will never bring my pet here. She was speaking to me as if I was a child and not answering my questions, her only concern was for me to pay for the first visit. My aunt called also to find out about the neutering of my puppy, and this same staff was so unprofessional that mentioned that somebody else had called about this procedure too. She didn't know if we were related? really? very unprofessional.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO SEE DR. HARBIN HERE IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR FOLLOW UP ANSWERS TO YOUR DOG HEALTH CONCERNS! THIS PLACE IS INSENSITIVE OF PET OWNERS WORRIED ABOUT THEIR PETS HEALTH AND IS ONLY INTERESTED IN MONEY. My dog was seen for a sick visit by Dr. Harbin and prescribed medication. I became concerned because my dog was not reacting well to the medication and called the vet to speak with Dr. Harbin.
I was informed Dr. Harbin was working that day and would call me back shortly. After hours passed by I called back to follow up. I was told that Dr. Harbin left for the day and would maybe call me back on Monday. AND if I was concerned I could spend an additional $85 and return to ask any questions.

I specifically told them not to damage the hair while removing stiches/cup. They removed the stiches from my dogs ears and blood was coming up from her ears! Blood! Lets forgot about the hair no hair left and all bloody and they wrapped it just to charge me more! Vet seems like doesn't know anything except putting unnecessary charges for u! Worth to mention the vet tech and the receptionist were understanding! I have the pictures how bloody it looked, if u couldnt do it the way i asked just dont f do it. I couldn't have done the same thing at home! Never coming back untill u guys get a real vet!

This is the second review I am leaving because I feel so strongly about this amazing place. I first wound up there in an emergency situation but when the Vet noticed dental work that needed to be done, I left my current vet and brought my cat back to this place! I was so impressed with the itemized invoice with an estimate about how much the procedure would cost, but even more impressed when the final bill came out to be less money.
When does that happen with a vet? Never for me. I'd like to thank Erin the Tech who went above and beyond, even going back inside to print out pics of the x-rays to show me what had been done with my cat's teeth. And thank you to Dr. Eppinger who did a great job and called afterward to discuss all that she did. I love this place and now can't take my cat anywhere else.
