Staff and vets earn consistent praise for kindness and expertise, especially in emergency and specialty surgery cases. Recent reviews highlight rapid response times, clear explanations of treatment plans, and state-of-the-art facilities. However, some describe sticker shock from upfront deposits and high bills; one recent case noted a two-hour wait after initial check-in before being seen. Dr. Laura Vasquez and the neuro team stand out across multiple reviews for thorough diagnosis and compassionate guidance. The facility handles emergencies 24/7 and serves complex cases (spinal surgery, seizure management, acute GI issues). A small subset of older reviews raises concerns about billing transparency and upfront payment policies, though recent emergency cases report faster intake and reasonable pricing.

ASAP Vet: Veterinary Urgent Care

Walk-in urgent care with a strong track record for calming anxious pets and explaining costs upfront. Staff members are consistently praised for genuine warmth and attentiveness; multiple reviewers named Dr. Catherine, Dr. Fry, Dr. Spencer, and techs like Paige for standout kindness. Pricing runs well below typical emergency clinics (one reviewer cited $400 for a golden retriever emergency versus thousands elsewhere). Two recent one-star reviews raise concerns about missed diagnosis and optional upselling. Most recent negative review (one week ago) alleges a critical kidney disease was not immediately escalated, leading to delayed referral. The other (one month ago) objects to the total cost climbing from $800 quoted to $1400 with optional add-ons. The overwhelming majority of recent reviews (88% four/five star across the last 17) report straightforward, attentive care with clear pricing discussion beforehand.

Owners report consistently fast access to appointments, often same-day, and strong relationships with Dr. Squires over years of care. The team excels with anxious pets and senior animals nearing end-of-life, offering calm handling and emotional support that reviewers find deeply meaningful. Recent concern: one owner reported a surgical guarantee (cherry eye repair at no cost within 30 days if prolapse recurred) was not honored as understood. The clinic referred the case to an outside specialist instead, and the owner wished the agreement had been documented in writing. The broader pattern remains very positive.
