If i could leave a negative review I would. Our rescue pup had 3 grand mal seizures today. My family has been going to this clinic for over 30 yrs and they were turned away. Just handed my dad some pamplets and said they wouldnt see him. Dont trust your furbabies to these worthless uncaring trash heaps. I hope karma gets each and every staff member there.

Nearly impossible to get Dr. Todd to even see are dog, it's been well over a year, always something. Dr. Adams was solid and listened and worked with you. Dr. Todd is just weird and refuses to listen to your opinion or what's worked in the past and is just hard to work with. He has his front desk people Be his foot soldiers. It's either his way, which has not worked time and time again or find someone else. We're switching to someone else, don't go!

I went there to put my childhood dog down, and they were so compassionate. When I left I asked if they could be there for her when I left because I wasn't ready for her to be gone and they did just that.
