Do not recommend this hospital to anyone especially to those who don't know what is needed for your fur baby. Went in for a rabies shot for my dog. a rabies shot nothing else. Never asked for a check up. Just a shot I got charged for a full check up that lasted 3min and the rabies shot! Ridiculous! And when I confronted them they were just so rude! I also made it to my appointment early and got put into a room, front desk decides to call me saying I am very much late to the appointment and it's disrespectful. while I'm literally sitting in the room. A big scam and just very rude disrespectful/unorganized facility

Took my 3 week old kitten Diamond in the same day I called them. They never once hesitated about taking her in. Also they thought they were going to have to keep her overnight, but vet looked her over twice before I was told she was aloud to come home with me. Staff is very friendly. I always take my animal children to Plumbtree's when there is an issue. They always get me in ASAP.

We are very happy with Plumtree Animal Hospital. We have been using them since August of 2012. The staff is friendly and caring. Dr. Baff and Dr. Goldstien are very thorough and always take the time to answer any questions we may have.

Would not recommend this hospital to anyone me and my wife brought our dog there and was told by the Dr at the animal hospital that he was not the right fit for our family and was very disrespectful. This animal hospital serious needs to work on their bed side manners espicially after making my wife cry with the rude comments. If I could give this horrible and disrespectful animal hospital 0 stars I would have.

I have 2 dogs and plumtrees have always taken great care of them. My youngest puppy had a bad pneumonia at 3 months old and she was not going to make if it wasn't for the Plumtrees vets.
