The emergency waitlist app is terrific, and they meant it when they said theyd be ready for my pet and me. A person was at the emergency door when we stepped out of the car, and they took my pet in as I was doing the paperwork. The place is immaculate.
Dr. Sergio was very kind and very clear about our options, and incredibly supportive of my choices. I hope I wont need to be back there for an emergency, but this is the place to go if you are worried and your pet is sick. The 24/7 hours are a Godsend.

Finding out my beloved pup has cancer has been beyond traumatic but Dr McCue was so nice. If I ever get cancer I want him to tell me
Someone at the front desk (I dont know her name) gave me the warmest hug when I walked in crying after receiving the news. We ended up getting radiation treatment in a different state so we could start 2 weeks sooner but I wont hesitate to go back to ASC for any future needs. The entire staff was so nice.

I have been to ASC 3 times now for emergencies. They are kind, helpful and considerate. The vet sat with me this time to discuss possible issues with my pet and listened. She made me feel heard and was thorough in explaining what was happening with my chihuahua. The technician who received us was amazing as well. She was so good with my dog. It was a great experience. Like all veterinarians offices it was expensive- but I understand that the work they do and what they provide has a monetary value just like everything else. Nano and I say thank you!

Susan and her rehab team were wonderful with my 9.5 year old tripod pup. My dog strained her remaining back leg and we wanted to get it back up to strength and confirm that she was in a healthy state. Susan so very clearly cared for our girl, loving her like her own. She did a detailed assessment and helped us learn how our dog was coping as a fairly new tripod. We completed 8 sessions. Our fairly shy dog was excited each time we went, which is telling of how kind Susan was. We also learned some exercises we can do at home moving forward. We're extremely grateful for Susan and her team!
