Having lived in 4 different states with various dog breeds, I have been to veterinarian clinics across the country and I have NEVER had a better experience than I have had with the team at Small Door. After my last dog passed, I rescued a puppy for the first time and Dr. Gorman, Margarita, Lucy, and the rest of the team have been absolutely wonderful. They are so supportive. The team is extremely thorough with each visit, not to mention the atmosphere they create is warm and welcoming every single time. They make my dog and I feel like VIP. Knowing that I have access to veterinary help and care 24/7 with such phenomenal staff has been such a blessing. It is just like One Medical. The app is SO easy to use to book appointments or look up information. I can easily access all my dog's records and vaccinations, or ask general questions that are answered promptly. Also after each visit, they forward the pet insurance claims for you! Words cannot express how grateful I am for how much they have done for us so far. The team is truly fantastic. They make every visit seamless and stress free. I HIGHLY recommend to all pet parents!!!

I would give this clinic zero stars if it was possible. To…read morebegin with, I inherited a family of small mammals (8) that were going to be set loose to fend for themselves. These sweet animals are only treated by vets who treat "exotic animals," (i.e., not a cat or dog) and there aren't many of these vets. I needed to make an appointment for one of them to be seen. The immediate situation was not considered an emergency, but could turn fatal. Making an appointment for my pet was not an easy task. I was finally able to get an appointment yesterday, for today (approx 24 hours ago). As life goes, life happened. I was not going to be able to make the scheduled appointment, I found out 1.5 hrs before. I called to apologize and wanted to reschedule, my pet still REQUIRED care. I was informed that because I am a new client and need to "cancel" my appointment (I asked immediately to reschedule), that Dr. Binder has recently stopped allowing this. There is the 24 hour cancellation policy(yesterday, when they called me to make the appointment), also my appointment slot could not be "filled in time". Time for what? To recoup that lost 'new patient' fee? I asked if they would please double check with the doctor. I called back (1 hr later) to find out the answer. As the receptionist had explained earlier, the doctor said "no." I stated "this is important." The response given was "THERE ARE OTHER DOCTORS!" (rudely) It was difficult enough trying to find a vet that could treat exotic animals, let alone trying to schedule an appointment! It is obvious that they are NOT concerned with the welfare of every pet. "Compassionate care for your fur family" Straight from their webpage OBVIOUSLY that quote is questionable, if not just FALSE. Do not depend on them to do the right thing for your pet!

This place has really gone downhill and I'm no longer a customer. I've (almost) never been treated…read moreso rudely by a business where I was the customer. The staff has turned over several times since I started going there in ~2017 (never a good sign), and the current staff seems focused on reprimanding their customers. They seem nice, until you share a concern or complaint, then they turn hostile. And, to be honest, the lead vet is a bit scatterbrained, her communication all over the map, and I have difficulty getting clear on exactly what's going on with my cats and what the plan going forward will be. When people use 1000 words, I find it difficult to get the main point. The facility is old (an old house), with small rooms and no visible modern equipment. If you have a mobility disability, even a sprained ankle, don't even think of going here. To go into the front door, you must navigate about a dozen stairs going uphill. I think there's a ramp in the back but I've never seen anyone use it, and you'd have to first find a parking space in the back (only two) and then make special arrangements to enter thru the cramped back room. If I were disabled, I would not want to be singled out in this way. And now I can finally tell Sammy's story. My sweet 3-legged boy was a client here in his later years and eventually diagnosed with lymphoma. As his symptoms progressed, I brought him to this vet for a sonogram (performed by a visiting vet, as they don't have the equipment). When I brought him home, his (one) back leg was injured, perhaps sprained, and he was dragging it behind him, using his front paws to propel him forward (THIS IMAGE WILL HAUNT ME FOREVER). The worst part was the diagnosis - the vet told me he had to be euthanized THE NEXT DAY. Taking their advice, I brought him back the next day for this to be done, but wondered how it had gotten this far with nobody realizing it. When I called Dr. B. a few days later, I tried to tell her about his back leg. I suspected that someone had loaded him back into his top-loading cat carrier without taking care to let him put the back leg down solidly (as he always did, for stability) before they dropped him in. I'm sure this was unintentional, but I wanted to let them know for future 3-legged kitties that this is important. On the phone with Dr. B, she IMMEDIATELY BECAME HOSTILE and shut down my concern within 3 seconds, saying in an angry tone "Well, that wasn't our fault!" I was so devastated, I just stopped and did not share this suggestion (until now). But I have never forgiven her for failing to LISTEN. And that's the main problem with this practice. They don't listen.
