She listened to the symptoms, examined Mr Quill, and after observing him, called me to explain what needed to be done. He is now cough free. She also recommended he lose weight.

Vets should care about animals, and once they lose that love, they should consider getting a…read moredifferent line of work. I was going on a business trip and was concerned that my very old cat with a respiratory infection was going to worsen from stress while I was away. So I preemptively brought her in to arrange antibiotics. The vet said once she started having green discharge to have my cat sitter call in and the pharmacy could send them right away. Sure enough, on Monday this happened. Requested antibiotics through the pharmacy who would deliver. The pharmacy just needed a quick sign off online. Wednesday, no sign off. The front desk lady said they had been too busy to do it. She would write a note and make sure herself that it was done before the end of the day. Friday. Still too busy to get to it. Now the weekend is upon us and there are red flecks and green mucus. I had to make other emergency arrangements as they never got to it. It took two weeks of texting for the office manager to finally write. Not with the apology I had asked for, but to throw the pharmacy under the bus. I told her the story, still no apology. All I ever asked for was "we are so sorry, is your cat okay?". They literally couldn't care less or get around to it all week long. It's time to maybe go into another line of work.

He asked questions and explained different paths we would need to go down to treat her condition. I'm am definitely staying with Kulshan.

I need to give a huge shoutout to Dr. Burgmuller and the rest of the techs on staff who look forward to treating my pet and always take excellent care of him.

I didn't want to take her to the "other" emergency vet place because of the cost, so I called Banfield and they got her right in. Turns out she'd been attacked by another cat and needed quite a bit of fixing up. While we were waiting for the diagnosis, I checked out their pet wellness program and signed her right up - so an appointment that would have been almost $400 ended up costing just over $100! And her follow-up appointments, testing, and shots have all been cost-free. That wellness program is worth its weight in gold, I'm telling you! And it goes without saying that their staff is amazing and they clearly love animals. We've seen two docs there and both were fantastic, caring, and spent plenty of time with us and our kitty. They were happy to answer questions, and tell us what to expect. I'm officially a Banfield fan! Bonus points that they're open 7 days a week. If you're a wellness plan member you can also access your pet's records online.

Dr. Milan Milovancev is truly a godsend! He saved my dog's life. We were able to schedule an…read moreelective surgery just before it turned into an emergency thanks to his quick consultation and ability to move forward with surgery right away. Dr. Milan took the time to answer every single one of my questions, explain the details thoroughly, and develop a plan that prioritized my dog's success while also being mindful of financial constraints. He focused on the essential tests that made the surgery possible for me to afford, and it was always clear that his top priority was my pet's well-being and quality of life. He is exceptional at what he does, and I will always be grateful I found him. The techs were also fantastic; walking me through the pre- and post-op process with care and professionalism. That said, the business side of this hospital left a very different impression. The financial policies feel rigid, profit-driven, and disconnected from the compassion their medical staff provides. My dog's gallbladder surgery was around $10k and they required full upfront payment before even beginning check-in. This drastically delayed check and check out unnecessarily. They do not offer direct pay options with insurance providers and insisted this was somehow a "benefit" to me. In reality, requiring $10k cash or card upfront- and even refusing checks- puts families in heartbreaking positions during emergencies. The check-in process was stressful and impersonal. My dog wasn't even taken back until the payment fully cleared, which took about 30 minutes while I worked with my bank to lift a daily card limit. During checkout, I was immediately presented with a card machine for an additional $850 balance before they would even start preparing my dog for release. There was no warm greeting, no conversation about how my dog did- just a transaction. It made me feel like seeing my dog again was contingent on payment, which overshadowed the relief I felt knowing the surgery was successful. While the front desk is urgent and quick to demand the money- they cannot answer a single billing question from your receipt. In summary: The medical staff here, especially Dr. Milan, are outstanding and truly care about pets and their families. Unfortunately, the administrative and financial side of the clinic delivers a cold, business-first experience that undermines the incredible work being done in the operating room. If Dr. Milan were to practice elsewhere, I would follow him without hesitation. Huge tip: if you are traveling from out of town or just want an additional night right next to their 24/7 urgent care the hotel has a contract with them that provides a great discount. Edit/ post review: the surgical/medical team is just awesome. Called and helped me with post operation help.

We can't say enough good things about everyone, from the staff at the front desk, to the techs providing information, to anyone (everyone!) who took my calls post-surgery as we worked through a significant healing process. We opted for rehab services and couldn't have found a better care team!

Tracy works well with the different temperament dogs in class and gives helpful individual advice. She has helped us work through some of the struggles of having a high strung/high energy puppy that gets overstimulated and overexcited rather easily. It's worth noting that my pup absolutely loves Tracy and is always super excited to arrive to class. I wholeheartedly recommend Whispering X K9 and will continue working higher levels of obedience and sport at Tracy's school for the foreseeable future of our long-term training plan.

Briar has become a very good puppy, and will be an even better dog as she continues to learn, thanks to Tracy. We will be returning for Stage 2 this month, and we're so excited to do so (especially Briar)! We absolutely recommend Tracy's classes.
