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.
