This is our go to spot for all our pets needs. They are hands on, knowledgeable, and clean. I have 7 frenchies and they are always getting into trouble and hurt! Each time we bring them here and they are well taken care of.

Choosing this clinic was the biggest mistake of my life. I have often used it for my dog's emergencies and until now, apart from long waits for no reason, there had been no major problems. Yesterday morning I went here because my 16-year-old dog suffering from several conditions was having respiratory problems. After an hour and a half I make the payment 2,500 for a level 4 hospitalization, they tell me that I can go and come back to pick her up in the evening.
The dog came in with severe dyspnea, and the only thing they were able to do was to give her an anti nausea in two hours and half. When I left the clinic, after 10 min, while on Uber they call me to say my dog was dead. She arrived in alive, came out dead. Evidently the dog was in serious condition, why wasn't I told? Because Dr. Ocando did not do his job. Because they underestimated the critical condition of my sweet dog.
They told me I could leave, if I had known the situation was serious I would have stayed. After 16 years together, my dog died alone, without having a chance to say goodbye each other. That said, really insensitive staff. The nurse came into the room right away asking for money for cremation.

Thank god for this place. I brought my English bulldog after every other vet was closed when she began to have head tremors and cough really badly. They were completely overwhelmed when I walked in, but 2 different vet techs came to check out my baby. The wait was very long (about 3 hrs) but the vet that night (Dr. Keith I believe) was very thorough and talked me through everything in detail. He was responsive when she started tremoring again and immediately changed her recovery plan.
She stayed the night there and Dr. Vazquez was extremely helpful and diligent the next day and happily took two phone calls from me even though they were busy. Dont get me wrong, with a walk in you will probably wait for a while. The care is expensive as well (Im looking at thousands of dollars) but I do truly think shes in the best care and they ran a lot of tests on her.

I don't recommend this place at all! They care only about money, i took my cat as fell from the balcony, had to pay up front $850, i knew he had paw fracture and his mandible was twisted so i thought it was dislocated. They said he needed surgery with a specialist, and pretended me to leave my cat overnight only with the cost of $1800. The specialist appointment for the surgery was apart, only $250 and after they could give the estimate fo the surgery.
As i was not going to leave his there the night they gave him a sedative to cast his paw meanwhile, and told me they were going to do the mandible xray when he was asleep, and the answer from the doctor was he did it and no fracture. I am glad i didn't go back there for surgery, and by the way it was not true they did the xray of the mandible. So the expense for the emergency visit, the x-ray of the paw, the medicine, the sedative and the cast was $770, there was not included the blood test either. Very bad service. This emergency clinics is all about business and money, this is not good as our pets are part of our family and deserve much better. This place should be closed!!!!
