The vet techs and vet were all kind and kept me up to date on what needed to be done and how much it would cost. I ended up having to leave my pup overnight, but she was in good hands. The only thing I will say is that I had to call for updates since no one contacted me from the day I left her in the afternoon until the next day towards the afternoon to tell me what was going on or if she could come home that day. We didn't have a primary vet since we had recently adopted her, but they kindly got us into the sister facility (non-emergency) clinic within days of seeing her. It was quite pricey (around $3000), as emergency vets tend to be, but they were very transparent with me about that up front.

PLEASE READ before considering taking your pets here…read more We brought our puppy, Rocky, to this emergency hospital after he suddenly vomited and became lethargic. We trusted their team to find the cause and help him. After an exam, imaging, and hours of monitoring, we were told nothing abnormal was found and were advised to seek additional care elsewhere. The next morning, Rocky was still struggling to breathe, so we checked his mouth ourselves and found a 5-inch stick lodged in his throat. We removed it, and his breathing improved immediately. He has since made a full recovery. It is extremely upsetting that something causing such a serious breathing issue was missed despite the evaluation and imaging performed. We brought him there because we believed he needed emergency care, yet we ultimately found the cause ourselves. When we reached out afterward, we had to follow up multiple times before receiving a response. We were told the case was reviewed and that the care was appropriate, but no refund or resolution was offered. We are incredibly grateful Rocky is okay, but this experience left us disappointed and unable to recommend this hospital.

I have nothing good to say about this vet.  Dr. Mimnagh is a cruel man…read more We came to this practice from a referral.  After a biopsy was done, they found out that our 3 year old cat had very aggressive cancer.  After chemotherapy treatments were not improving her condition, we decided to keep her home and let her have her last few months with us in peace instead of weekly vet visits. The biopsy and chemo treatments were done by another vet at this practice and we were grateful to have them.   The day we decided to euthanize our cat, we showed up at 4:50 for our 5PM appointment.  We waited until 5:45 to be seen.  Pure agony when you know that something horrible is about to happen.  I also had my two kids with me since this was our family cat.  We were all heartbroken to lose her.  When Dr Mimnaugh came into the room - he was pushy and rushed.  He kept calling her "kitty" instead of her name.  He asked why we were here and had us go through her medical history WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE READ HIS OWN RECORDS.  While he prepped our cat, his assistant pushed us aside so we could not be near her and the assistant continued to ask us about how we were paying and asking us for our card to pay.  She did not wait or give any empathy as to the moment at hand.  Either way, the payment could have been taken at any point of the 45 minutes we were kept waiting past our appt time. The worst part - Dr. Mimnaugh did not sedate our cat.  They scruffed her, held her down and injected her with one shot.  Our cat spent her last moments screaming in pain.  SHE SUFFERED. And all of this was done in front of my kids while Dr. Mimnaugh joked that the "men of the house take these things much harder than the wife or kids".  I don't understand how this man still has a business when this is how he treats animals at their end of life.  Our pet suffered until her heart stopped and it was at the hands of Dr. Mimnaugh.

We had an appointment today to have him cleared for a dental appointment in September. Our experience was absolutely top notch! Our appointment was at 4:20pm, but we arrived a bit early so we would have time to locate the place and figure out the necessary procedures. There was a note on the door instructing patients to call to check in for the appointment from their cars. I was informed that the receptionist would return my call and let me know when a vet tech had a vacant room available. I received a call at about 4:40pm. Everything was pretty quick after that! We entered the facility and were greeted by the staff. They asked me about any concerns I had and then the doctor came in. He was so amazing with our chunk. I truly have never had such a patient-centered veterinary experience. I felt that the cost was pretty affordable and definitely much less than the old practice that we frequented. They have our business for as long as we stay in this area!
