What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently report strong veterinary care from named doctors (Dr. Toth, Dr. Amy, Dr. Jill, Dr. Simmons) who listen carefully and explain treatment options. The practice has earned loyalty over decades: many clients have returned 10+ years, and staff turnover is low, creating a family-like atmosphere.

Recent visits show staff actively following up after appointments, managing complex diagnoses (Addison's disease, bowel obstructions) with speed, and staying accessible even during emergencies. Some longtime clients report frustration with what they perceive as increased upselling, particularly around dental procedures and diagnostics, though other reviews praise Dr. Amy for flexibility on costs.

  • compassionate, dedicated veterinarians
  • thorough diagnosis and treatment planning
  • welcoming staff with long tenure
  • willingness to work within budgets
  • attentive follow-up care

Most visits feel personal: staff greet returning pets by name, vets explain care clearly, and techs like Brandon and Kelly make nervous animals comfortable. Yet pricing for routine vaccines and annual exams runs double or triple what low-cost clinics charge, and customers who miss CareClub payments report threats of collections rather than flexible follow-up. The clinic moved to a new building recently and remains strong on general care, wellness visits, and handling anxious pets. Dr. Lucia, Dr. Wood, and Dr. Jennette earn repeated praise for gentleness and patience. Board-certified emergency vets work on-site, though the distinction between emergency capacity and general-practice speed is not clear from recent reviews alone.

Patients whose surgeries go forward consistently report excellent outcomes: dogs heal fast, move pain-free, and the cost is often half what competitors charge. Dr. Lewis performs well, and team members like LeeAnn build trust and handle aftercare smoothly. However, two recent callers encountered dismissive and confrontational front desk behavior when arranging surgery, particularly when they brought their own financing. One caller was flatly refused service; another chose not to proceed after being told technicians, not the surgeon, would do the initial evaluation and that she would meet the veterinarian only after surgery. The surgery itself is priced transparently and includes physical therapy and follow-up appointments. Wait times run 4-8 weeks. For patients who navigate the booking phase successfully, the experience is warm and supported. The tension appears to centre on financing terms and the pre-surgery process.
