I’m extremely disappointed with this clinic’s lack of urgency and compassion. Having been going here for over 20 years with my dogs. When I called about getting my dog seen for an emergency first thing Saturday at 8am when they opened, I was told there were no openings and only 1 doctor on and they close at 12:00 and the soonest they could see my dog they said is Tuesday. No real effort was made to accommodate or even triage the situation. I was told to call a different Veterinary office if I didn’t want to wait til Tuesday. Pets are family, and refusing to even try to work in a potentially sick patient sends a troubling message about priorities. Find a vet that prioritizes your animals health versus getting out on time in an emergency!!

Exceptional service. Not rushed. Got the answers we needed to all of the many questions we had. Very reasonable cost.

Over about 5 years, we discovered this office is marketing "premium" high-cost foods rather than attending to the health of our cat(s). They also up-sell diagnostic tests that are clearly not required for strictly indoor cats. I've had 7 cats over my adult lifetime and never struggled with vets this much to get them focused on overall health. I still take my cat here, but must prepare myself to say no to a lot of unnecessary recommendations. Educate yourself if you plan on using these folks.
