I have only had wonderful experiences, it's completely devastating when you lose a pet and have to have it put down, in the past 2 years I've had to put two of my elderly pets down and they have handled it with such care, compassion and in a peaceful way for the pet and for me. The staff is amazing and really cared during these difficult times.

Brought my dog in as critical emergency (according to them). Never once called me with updates and when I called was told they would call me back amd never did. Took them 12 hours to even start my dogs surgery (yes they were paid beforehand). Then used the excuse theyre the only er available. Id be really satisfied if the hometown vets were given back their er positions. Say what you may but 12 hours to start a surgery to repair a dogs esophagus and windpipe is ridiculous and thats only because I was calling complaining. My dog still isn't done nor have they called one time. But was more then helpful

My family brought a rescue cat into our home, and wanted to make sure she was treated properly. This place was unhelpful with our attempts to make her healthy again. They completely gave up on her and us. This was completely wrong, and when she got ring worm form their establishment, they did not even want to treat her for it. They are completely disgusting and horrific. Do not take your pet here if you want them to get the best help possible.

If you can actually get in to have them see your pet, they are typically wonderful and knowledgable. That is why I’m being kind and giving two stars instead of one. However getting an appointment with them, even if your animal is in deep need of seeing the vet, is near impossible. Our previous pets probably started being patients thirty years. My cat that needed to be seen recently was a patient for over a decade. This isn’t the first time they blew off when my cat needed to be seen. A couple of years ago we tried to make an appointment for him too, and they instead said, “we’re booked

Unbelievable. I've been taking my pup here for over 10 years. He has not been eating right for over 2 weeks and now yelps when I pick him up. I explain this to the receptionist and her reply... "Sounds like something that should be taken care of sooner rather than later. Sorry, we're booked out until September so..." This is how they treat their most loyal customers. My advice, go somewhere else.

Very kind and intelligent staff. Dr. Faber took his time explaining and answering all of our questions. We never felt rushed and our bulldog didn't even know he was at the vet with their Fear Free program. He received many treats and pets and positive reinforcement. They played calming music and took their time letting him adjust and adapt at his own pace instead of rushing through the exam.
