Most visits earn praise for warm, attentive care and clear explanations, especially during routine exams and end-of-life support. Staff routinely greet pets by name and answer questions without rushing. The Thrive Plus membership offers good value for families with multiple pets or puppies needing frequent visits. Recent complaints center on waits during emergencies without updates, and a concerning practice of separating anxious cats from owners during vaccinations. One owner reported her cat came back bleeding and extremely stressed after being separated for shots. The clinic also faced criticism for redirecting an unexamined cat to emergency care, which led to a costly seven-hour visit that a different vet resolved in 30 minutes the next day.

Most appointments highlight responsive, kind staff and vets who explain options carefully and keep costs visible. However, recent visits under newer doctors show lapses: dismissive diagnoses, abrupt bedside manner, and pharmaceutical pushes that contradict earlier standards. The pattern suggests inconsistency tied to staffing changes rather than clinic-wide collapse.
