We have a Pug, and there are a lot of Pug lovers at this vet, so we were always confident that she'd be well cared for. She loved boarding there, and vet visits didn't upset her too much. When you board, you get a booklet with fun pictures of your animal when you pick them up. It lists their favorite activities and talks about how they did. On our last stay, they personalized the booklet for our dog, Arya (like Stark!) with Game of Thrones things and some photoshopping.

I will never go back here, for a few reasons. To begin, one of the first visits we ever made, one…read moreof the vets yelled at my husband. We were in the waiting room, with our 65lb puppy, and he was very excited and just wanted to say hello to everyone. We let him say his hellos and then he was told to sit and stay. When giving our dogs commands we use a more firm tone of voice as most people do, the vet yelled across the room telling my husband not to yell at our dog. In a room full of people this was obviously uncalled for and it embarrassed him as well. That was the first thing that ticked us off. Every time we brought our dogs in here, they load them up on goldfish, cool whip, squeeze cheese, you name it. They always come home with diarrhea. I get it, you're trying to keep them distracted, but if you're giving vaccinations properly you shouldn't need to keep a constant flow of terrible foods going to keep them distracted. And if you don't know what you're doing and you do need to distract them, use dog treats so that my dogs don't come home with upset tummies and the squirts. Another thing, this office ALWAYS quoted me at least 80-150 dollars less than the bill ended up being. I asked approximately how much my dogs neuter was going to be, everything included, and they quoted me at $300. My husband went to pick up our pup and pay the bill and it was over $500. Shouldn't you have set prices for these things? So that you can give ACCURATE quotes? Before anybody asks, "well why did you keep going?" I've read terrible reviews about nearly all of the nearby veterinary clinics, and since we started both of our dogs vaccines here I just rode it out and decided to finish their vaccines here. Now that they're finished for at least a year or so, we'll never go back there. To say the least, I wouldn't recommend this vet to anyone unless you're willing to pay more than normal, get judged by the staff, and have puppies with upset stomachs because they feed them a ton of terrible shit while they're getting vaccinated, nails clipped, ears cleaned, etc. I'd also like to add I have NEVER written a review on any app, anywhere, but that's how irritated I was with this place. I actually took time out of my day to let everyone know how much this place sucks. If you've read this far, I applaud you.

Over the years, Dr. Bender has saved my dog on multiple occasions and helped make sure he had the best life possible! Until recently, Dr. Bender has been the sole veterinarian there and works 6 days a week without a break. She is dedicated to what she does and does it well. My dog and I recently meant her new partner Dr. Kelsey and she is great as well! The entire time I have taken my dog there, Dr. Bender, Dr. Kelsey, and their AMAZING vet tech/support staff (shout out to Ashley, Lora, Hannah, Julie, Amber & Chelsea) have answered all my questions (trust me, there were many) and concerns and made sure my dog was seen whenever he needed to. I know he was not their only patient and it had to have been difficult to squeeze him in, but they never made me feel like I was wasting their time. And on one of the worst days of my life, when I had to say goodbye to my beloved pup, they went above and beyond and made sure it was a peaceful, comforting experience. I highly recommend this place!

The woman who handled my call could literally care less even though I asked if they could see him and that it was an emergency she said "we will not make an appointment without all of his records" then went onto say we don't do emergencies... wow just wow... if the person you first talk to doesn't care my guess is neither does anyone else in this facility... avoid/stay clear of this one!!! I was forced to give them one star... they do not deserve it.

I explained that I wouldn't need treatment that I was far away from home and asked again for help. I understand she didn't make the rules... but u want to address whoever DOES make the rules. Really?? $200 to check and see if I had left the tick head in her skin? I'm traveling alone and literally went to this vet facility for an extra set of helping hands to make sure my puppy wasn't ok. I've read through your reviews and apparently I'm not the only person who thinks you're in the wrong business. You don't care about animals... and I sincerely hope you lose business over your inconsiderate, less than helpful attitude. I wasn't asking for anything for free. I was willing to wait. I'm so disappointed in the response I received today when I was reaching out for help. I'm confident you'll get exactly what you deserve in time.

Returned months later with a very ill dog and was advised it would take $2,000 to conduct tests. They were nice enough to sell me $350 worth of ineffective medication. My dog soon died and I informed them of this. I was surprised to receive an email from them the following day asking me to review their service. It informed me that my pet's health is their primary concern and concluded by saying something to the effect of "have a nice day and we look forward to seeing you and your pet soon". This appears to be a very cold, disorganized clinic.

She is retiring now, and I'm sorry for everyone who never got to meet this great lady, and am likely as sad to lose such a great vet as all those who knew her.
