I wish this place had zero stars. They did not care for the better well being of my puppy every 15 min they called us back into the room to tell us how much more a freaking x ray would cost. Needless to say they can't even read their own x rays they have to send them out to someone else. I left paying almost 1,000 in bills for absolutely nothing. And then they have the audacity to say we can do the surgery here? After reading all these reviews which I should have done before going I was terrified in the waiting room. I refused to let my puppy get surgery at this place. I will be getting a second opinion.

Absolutely amazing staff. We brought in our 14 year old rescue named Dylan, who became ill after our vet had closed for the night. The staff was very professional, welcoming, and caring. The vet who examined Dylan walked us through all of our options, and in the end helped us move him on to a better place (we did not want to put him through the agonizing paying of surgery). They even helped us set up the cremation services. Today we received a personalized condolence card in the mail, and I cannot thank them enough for their kindness and thoughtfulness. We have three other pets in our house (another dog and two cats), and we will definitely be returning for emergency service in the future if need be.

I really wanted to give a good review here as my first impression was very positive.  Professional intake interview by a competent receptionist, engaged veterinary assistants.  My confidence faded, however, after we were told we'd have to pay an emergency fee of $125 prior to seeing a vet, then were left to wait (with what we suspected was a cat experiencing poisoning) for another hour.

After explaining our previously perfectly healthy 5-year old cat's decline into vomiting, drooling, head-bobbing, non-responsiveness, dilated pupils, strained breathing within a period of a few hours to the vet, and that we suspected that he was experiencing some kind of poisoning, she told us that she suspected congestive heart failure due to a thickened heart muscle instead and suggested x-rays, MRI, clinic stay and other expensive procedures to simply confirm her diagnosis at prohibitive expenses for our budget ($1,000 - 2,000 before any actual treatment which would have to last throughout the cat's remaining life span).  We described the symptoms and their sudden onset over and over again and eventually got her to provide an anti-nausea shot and an expectorant to expel fluid from our cat's lungs and got to sign a waiver that we were taking the cat home at our own risk.  The treating vet made it clear that we should not expect our cat to live through the night.

Needless to say, he not only lived through the night but made a 100% turnaround within the next 24 hours.  I then put a call in to the vet confirming that he was probably poisoned due to our neighbors spraying weed killer, and should I still worry about the fluid in his lungs though?  I finally received a call-back from a different vet at the clinic over a day later, stating that I should no longer worry about the lungs due to the expectorant provided , but definitely should bring the cat back for a variety of tests to determine for sure what caused his illness in the first place.  Say what???

We are currently bringing our 2 English Bulldogs. Princess our senior sees Dr Carver and the Rehab staff for PT and acupuncture. Mike her PT has done wonders for her Artthritis and hip dysplasia. At 14 they have given her back a quality of life she had lost. She's happier, walking, playing with her toys again but most of all she has relief from the pain and aches she was feeling. She also sees Dr Wethers the Dermatologist for her chronic ear issues and she has greatly improved!!! Our younger Bulldog, Howard also sees Dr Wethers for allergy issues and they are very patient and understanding of the breed. 
From the minute you walk in you are greeted with a smile and put at ease that you have arrived at a place who puts your animals needs 1st and foremost. I can not say enough good things!!!! They are Pawsome!

It's a shame I have to give this place one star just so I can write this review, but out of genuine concern for animals coming to this place it seems necessary. This is the furthest thing from a Vets office/hospital. This is a disgraceful, money-hungry "business" full of corrupt, unprofessional staff who claim to care for the animals that people bring to them. My father and I brought a kitten to this vet that was found lying in street, clearly in distress and potentially injured. Shortly after the kitten was brought in, we were told very briefly from the vet that the cat had low blood sugar (hypoglycemic) and its body temperature was low, so to help it they were giving it IV fluid of sugar water and keeping it warm with a heating pad, which is great and raised our hopes that this kitten would survive. Shortly after this, all this vet could offer now to continue to help this distressed cat was slapping down a nice bill, depending on how much we really cared for the cat and how much we were willing to spend, ranging from $800-$1400, which is a disgrace when you take into consideration that she was a stray cat and we were just trying to help it as much as we could. From now on, the bill was the only thing discussed by the vet and staff at this place. Not what was further wrong with this kitten or what we could do further to help it, but how much we were willing to pay for their "service" to us. After refusing to pay an absurd amount of money, which was originally brought in out of the goodness of our hearts, we quickly realized that this place was all about the money and nothing else. After we told them we were going to take the kitten home so we could take it somewhere else to get checked, the vet quickly changed her tune about the stability of this cat. As we were handed the cat, we were then told that she had blood in her eyes and it appeared to them that she wasn't going to make it. Now both our heads are spinning because just 15 minutes ago, we were told by this same exact vet that this kitten was going to be okay with constant monitoring, food, and warmth. Ah, finally, the story makes sense. They wanted to string us on for the next day, get our money, when they already knew that the cat was going to pass. They merely just wanted to keep her "stable" for the next 24 hours with our $1400. We took the kitten home and shortly after arriving she passed away peacefully in our care. I hope after reading this you all think twice about bringing your beloved pets here.
