Yes, they're expensive.  I personally think they're worth every cent.

I have found them to be totally top notch.  I've been to this facility for some very painful situations with my pets.  They've always been professional, patient and kind.  They take the time to tell you your options.  They allow you the time to think about them.  They're just really a great bunch of nice people. 

I really cannot recommend them enough.  They cut the cancer out of one of my dogs who is clear of cancer today.  They put down another of my precious dogs - with great respect and patience for us grieving and crying.  We were... really ... freaking out... but they were so kind. 

Nothing but the highest kudos for IVS!  Thank you!

My dog had to come in for some scary symptoms and to have more tests done. My appointment had gotten missed in the computer somehow, but they still got me in to see the same doctor right away. Dr. Greene was great at explaining all the options and possibilities so we could make an informed decision. I had concerns after hours with how my dog was handling sedation and call to ask some questions. The tech that I talked to was fantastic. She took the time to explain what could be wrong and helped me decide if I needed to come back in or not. She also told me to call back and ask for her if I had any additional questions.

This place needs a major overhaul or even shut down.  They only care about money.  As soon as you walk in they tell you everything has to be paid for that day.  I understand that's how they stay open, but there's no empathy and what they charge is astronomical.  I also feel with all certainty that the vet lied to me about what was wrong with my pet in an attempt to get more money out of me, which would have put my pet through more suffering for nothing.  And the whole while I was there the vet was trying to push me to get a loan through Wells Fargo or borrow money from family.  Never was there a mention that there are organizations where you can apply for assistance with emergency pet care.  In the end my pet did not survive.  And what would have cost me maybe $300 at my normal vet(Who is actually pretty pricey, but I go to them because they're actually empathetic.) cost $1,000 here.  I wish I had taken my pet ANYWHERE else.

My bill started at 800, went up to 1120, after that they told me everything was fine with my puppy and that we’d be able to go home with medication for him and his lacerations, half an hour later they came in and told us he needed a major surgery and that it would cost 4,000+ and we most definitely do not have that kind of extra money. They told us he had a deep wound that opened his abdominal wall after they told us his wound was not deep and would be stitched up.. we asked to take him home and let him pass peacefully but they didn’t remcommend that because he would’ve been in too much pain so our only choice was to put him down, our bill is 1,400 dollars and we no longer have our loving puppy with us... DO NOT GO HERE. We could still have our baby with us today...

My experience at this vet clinic when I took my cat there this past weekend was just above and beyond excellent.  They were friendly, courteous, prompt, and just everything you'd want in a vet hospital.  The big thing was that they inspire trust...which is a big thing when you need to leave your pet somewhere overnight.  Great experience and I highly recommend them for everyone.
