What recent reviews say

Staff greet owners and animals with warmth from the moment you enter, and doctors spend genuine time explaining diagnoses, test results, and options without pressure. Dr. Roach, Dr. Lanier, and Dr. Jackson are noted repeatedly for their knowledge and follow-up care, including calls after hours and handwritten condolence notes for end-of-life cases.

The practice runs a full surgical hospital with a sophisticated operating room and handles same-day emergencies, routine exams, dentistry, and senior or hospice care. Pricing is not discounted, but recent reviews affirm that quality and compassion justify the investment. Weekend hours and the option to squeeze in urgent appointments keep the clinic accessible to working pet owners.

New and adopted pets with fear or anxiety find calm here. Staff and Dr. Heller sit on the floor, ignore scared dogs to build trust, and use private living-room-style exam rooms instead of tables. Reviewers praise their time spent explaining X-rays, consulting specialists, and treating special-needs animals with patience. One month ago, a new-dog owner called the staff phenomenal for guiding their pup toward wellness. The Fear Free certification shows across reviews consistently. The clinic offers puppy and senior care, dentistry, surgery, rehabilitation, and end-of-life comfort. Staff members Ari and Dr. Heller are named repeatedly. A single recent review flagged prices at two to three times a nearby clinic's cost. The broader pattern in recent months shows families reporting reasonable pricing and genuine attention, especially for anxious or newly adopted dogs.
