Here is the PROS, the facility itself is generally clean & decent. The building is air-conditioned. Here are the CONS, I don't like the idea of servers putting food on the table in advance & the food gets cold. I thought we're suppose to form a line so they can serve food right on our plates. Too bad they don't allow seconds after my first plate. It depends on how many people there.

Since my original review, I have been going back and forth via email with Sherri and Dr. Andrew…read moreCabrera, and the situation has still not been resolved. I want to be very clear based on my experience, I do not recommend this clinic. I have never met or dealt with Sherri in person during my dog's care, yet she continues to email me presenting herself in a position of authority. From what I have been able to determine, she does not appear to be the owner, which raises serious concerns about who is actually responsible for this clinic. I also have strong concerns about whether Dr. Andrew Cabrera had the appropriate experience to perform the type of surgery my dog received, as my dog is still not recovering properly and continues to be in pain. I have had to seek care from another specialist at my own expense. My experience has included: Ongoing back-and-forth emails with no resolution Difficulty obtaining complete medical records and X-rays Struggles getting medication support Lack of accountability and follow-up care In addition, I have seen other public reviews from customers reporting serious issues, including problems with refunds and lack of follow-through, which is extremely concerning. Because of everything I've experienced, I strongly urge others to avoid this clinic and proceed with extreme caution before giving them any money. If anyone has had a similar experience, you are welcome to reach out to me. What should have been a routine procedure has turned into a stressful, costly, and ongoing situation. I am continuing to take further action and will update as things progress.

Don't come here. We…read morehad been trying to get our results back for Sandy regarding a suspected UTI as well as for them to respond to our insurance company to provide additional documentation they need in order to file our claim so we can actually use our pet insurance and get some of our money back for the appointment and lab testing costs. The initial appointment was back in mid December. It is now March and we can't get through to their phone number, it doesn't even ring now. Luckily we got the lab results back but we're still needing them to respond to our insurance and they've reached out twice to them directly with us CC'd. My boyfriend Jason even went to go in person in early to mid January to see what was up and the place was closed up and he was told by someone who was coming out of the building (this was at 2pm) that the office would open back up in 6 weeks!! No calls, no emails to warn of the closure, just up and gone for 6 weeks. They're still not answering their phones as of today. I'm just so disappointed by the negligence and we may not even be able to use our pet insurance since they're failing to provide documentation on their end. We tried to see if the pet history we were able to get from their site as well as the test results would suffice and the insurance said they need documentation directly from the vet itself.

I came here after a very big trauma in April 2019. I called ahead and spoke to someone who was very…read morekind regarding my situation and they said this was the place I should be and in the beginning I loved it. It really helped regulate my nervous system And I very much appreciated. Franz and the way he helped guide beginners. What I did not appreciate was a woman who was also a beginner and craved support on an almost competitive level. She was very much attended to and a bit of a trauma dumper. I left for a while because of her, she just kept showing up in my space, but that was my choice to leave. Fast forward to the pandemic I did try to rejoin online and I was met with that same woman who I did try to extend an Olive branch to, since she was struggling and kept "showing up". She was the same trauma dumper, yet didn't remember me. But something that came to light is that I was not allowed to join the book group that she had created. As I got better, I thought about going back in spite of this woman, but then I saw that she is part of faculty Ultimately I decided that a group that would support someone with that behavior, in the way that they did is not the right group for me. I probably should have and I thought about contacting leaders in this group, but at that time, my nervous system was not in a place to defend myself and it's somehow felt small and petty. Better to let her have her way. However, six years later, I see that this is not the Buddhist way, which is the way they follow. I was not shown loving kindness in a time when I really needed it.

Most programs are donation based but they also offer fee-based retreats where you can apply for a scholarship. The facilities are clean and inviting. They serve cold and hot water for tea.

If you're looking to learn how to meditate or you already have a practice but you want to sit with other people, try one of their classes. I can't recommend this place enough.
