Always coming with the best advice, kindest staff, and quick but thorough appointments. My little guy loves going to the vet and seeing all of his friends, they treat him so well.

We take our guide dog here and have had wonderful experiences. Everyone is friendly and we've had zero issues with getting medications, checkups, whatever. I also get to see other people's pets here sometimes, so 5 stars from me!

We've been bringing our kitties here for nearly 20 years. One passed several years ago and I called recently as her 19 year old sister was refusing wet food (an unusual circumstance). After explaining the situation and my concern, the receptionist told me in an affectless voice rheir next opening for an appointment was approximately 6 weeks out. No opportunities for an emergency visit in the next 24-48 hours? "Nope." Beyond done with this bureaucratic, uncaring place.

This is a great vet. They have great availability, kind staff and affordable care. We took our dog in for a visit for stomach problems about a month before he needed his vaccines. When we came back to get his vaccines they didn't charge us for the exam fee, only the shots. My dog can also be fear reactive and they also always make sure to go slow with him and have plenty of treats to make him feel comfortable. So happy I found this place!

I love this place and always had good service. But the last time I was there the reception person ignored me both on entering and leaving (while she was socializing at length with other customers). It's a job, maam, not a place to hang with your "friends".

We recently rescued a dog. The process to get the appointment set up was quick and simple. We had to wait a couple weeks, but that's not a problem. On the day of our appointment, the staff were warm and friendly. Everyone was thorough and willing to answer questions. Both myself and my dog felt comfortable the entire time; he was happy to score a few treats while we were there. Overall, had a wonderful experience.
