    We were referred to Dr. Bolanos for surgery on our pup. He and his staff were great and took excellent care of our dog.

    By far, the best animal Veterinarian greatest staff that any business has to offer and the most…read morewelcoming and very hidden small place, but maybe that's for the best because if everybody knew about this spot and everybody would be here, my dog Loki is in great health and I know that if there's ever a problem that they're phone call in an appointment away this place more than five stars but that's all that I can give. Thanks for being so compassionate and I appreciate your services anyone looking for a new vet this would be the place to go

    Every time I've see Dr. Hutson, she has always been kind, compassionate, and understanding. I…read moreappreciated the way she looked out for the best interest of the pet, avoided expressing judgement to clients when faced with difficult decisions regarding the best care and health of their pet, and extended sympathy. The vet techs are very helpful, knowledgeable, and skilled. However there's a sad reality in having a primary vet at a one-vet clinic who has many clients, while I have one vet I trust that knows my pet. In emergencies, Dr. Hutson's team can mostly offer squeeze-ins or next-day appointments since their day is so filled; it makes room for emergencies difficult. My cat was in a dire situation of not eating for over 24 hours and Compassionate Care offered a squeeze-in next-day appointment. Her condition worsened into not going to the bathroom and vomiting from trying; I took her elsewhere. The other clinic diagnosed her with severe Kidney Disease and had some treatment options. Friday, I called Compassionate Care at their 9 AM open to speak to Dr. H about my cat's diagnosis and treatment, but she wasn't available. I got a call at 3 PM because Dr. H had been performing surgery. The sad reality is she couldn't take on my emergency because she was facing an emergency. There was no one else I could talk to. Dr. H offered a different solution than the other vet I saw and I do trust her knowledge. However there are some concerns. Dr. H suggested more fluids, and I asked what the dangers of giving more fluids are if my cat wasn't urinating. What I didn't say is I worried that my cat wasn't absorbing the fluids she received the day before, but that's my fault. I showed up to Compassionate without my cat to further talk, pick up fluids, and an injection. Because I wasn't familiar with giving the injection, we decided to bring in my cat Saturday morning; she asked if we should wait to give her more fluids and I agreed. Saturday morning I showed up with her; we had to wait in the lobby since at least one of the rooms (the only room? unsure) had a client already. Despite what Dr. H said about more fluids, she gave her more but didn't mention that until it was done. She said my cat was in severe pain and to say goodbye in 4 hours if no change. Apparently her bladder was empty, despite the 100 mL she received Thursday. It was only strange after my mother asked me why Dr. H didn't offer pain meds to ease the suffering of her possibly last few hours. My mother had to insist that she receive pain meds; Dr. H gave her pain and anti-nausea medications that she said worked immediately and without side effects. I was relieved that this is the type she received. My cat worsened in the next few hours at home; she was lethargic, barely able to life her head, in shock, and unresponsive to her environment except when she saw me or my mom. She struggled to get up after the morning visit and her body trembled. My mother insisted we find at-home euthanasia options. We found an amazing vet that came to euthanize her. She discovered my cat had fluids in her lungs. Apparently this can happen in CKD cats by over hydration of fluids if they can't absorb them. She may not have been over hydrated but if she was, it wasn't mentioned and lungs in fluid weren't caught. Mostly my concern is that pain meds were only given after insistence from my mom. Regardless, Compassionate Care did call to check in on Sandy after they saw her; Dr. H did compassionately tell me I was doing the best I could and I do appreciate her words and willingness to see Sandy, even if it may have been limited due to other emergencies and clients, or just my cat's condition. It's just the unavoidable reality of a one-vet clinic but her quality of care has always been great.
