I do not understand how a profession built around caring for animals can justify refusing care to a…read morevisibly uncomfortable puppy. Multiple practices--including this one--turned us away simply because they were not accepting new patients, without regard to the animal's condition. Searching for a vet was very similar to the health care conditions in our country and a real eye opener. It's hard to reconcile that reality with the purpose of veterinary medicine. If helping animals is the reason for the work, outright refusal of care--especially for a young puppy--is difficult to understand and disappointing. I rated this location with 1star because of the information previously stated.

He was actively unable to move his limbs, had loss of appetite, swollen limbs, and was in pain. They did not text him further to see if his number for Lyme went up. Instead I was offered X-rays and a general blood panel. The day he left I asked for antibiotics that I did not get. He had an infected hot spot after they shaved it and I had to call back again two days later requesting antibiotics. It took twelve hours of calling to get a response from a vet for the antibiotics I asked for in the first place. I paid over $900 to get no answers on what was wrong with my pet. In one visit with another vet I paid a fraction of the cost to get an actual diagnosis

This vet is scared of shepherds.

The staff is friendly and caring, but in more than one of my experiences here has made issues appear more dire than they are. I ended up spending $700 dollars on tests that were presented as needed, when just one $50 test was all that was necessary to reveal the most likely culprit before moving on to the further testing. I understand them wanting to do what is deemed best for a pet but not everyone's in a position to afford large bills. My cat would have been just fine if they waited to see what initial essential testing revealed before doing additional tests.

While no one wants to take their pet to the emergency vet, sometimes you have no choice…read more Unfortunately, that is what happened to us this past Thursday. Our dog suddenly went limp, labored breathing and white gums. We tried to take her to West Park, and they turned us away because they were at capacity. We didn't realize that MedVet was 5 min further away, but we were directed there. We called while we were on our way, and they were waiting for us when we arrived. She was rushed back, where they did an initial exam and got her stable. It was very helpful to have the monitors up to show where our pet was in the line of order to be seen. While we're waiting, a few more critical patients came in, and the staff was so on top of it. It turns out our girl suffered anaphylactic shock from something, perhaps a bug bite. She ended up staying two nights, and we visited her each day for about an hour. The staff was so incredible, I don't think I could ever work in an environment. As expected, it was pricier, but the staff went above and beyond for us. We never worried about Luna while she was in their care. On the second day, the doctor called me and spent 20 min walking through her chart, results and next steps with me. I really appreciated it. Hopefully we will never need to go back, but if we do, we know where to go.

I was looking for a new vet for my American Domestic Gremlin and went with RRAH because they were a…read morewell regarded fear-free practice. They were able to take a new patient fairly quickly, and while Kora recognized the "vet office smell" she was pretty chill during the appointment. They don't take the animal out of the room or out of your sight at all, the vet took his time getting to know her, and he talked to me quite a while. They're pretty easy about prescriptions, and everyone was super friendly. I will say, it can be hard to actually get someone on the phone - they don't seem to have enough staff in reception to answer the phones, and the call back time has been ~3 days each time I've tried. As long as you don't need something urgently, it's not too bad.

We ended up shifting to Dr. Madden due to the addition of a pet who prefers women and have seen Dr. Garcia for urgent visits. Everyone there treats our pups like family, but especially Dr. Madden who is so incredibly patient with their nerves and antics (and my seemingly endless questions and details). Over the years they've adapted to a more casual, playful and food/reward based appointment style and it's made all of the difference in my anxious dogs' experiences. I feel confident that my boys are in safe hands that treat them as they would their own pets. It's such a relief to have providers you trust for your health, but it's even more impactful to have that confidence and care for those you love most.

They've been at least more than double what I was paying at our last vet for pretty basic services (routine exam fees and blood pressure checks, specifically). No transparency about cost before it's time to hand over the credit card. On top of that, nearly every time I call to ask a question or request an appointment, the front desk staff is incredibly rude and treats me like an inconvenience instead of a concerned pet parent and paying customer. The two times this happened recently, I spoke with Laura, she is just flat out rude! I try to give the benefit of the doubt and grace, and I have never been anything but kind and respectful to them, but wow. It's like an inconvenience to the staff when I call with questions or concerns. Starting to really regret our choice of VCA.

The vet said she didn't feel anything concerning, likely an upper respiratory infection that he'd fight off himself. I asked if we should do an X-ray or more testing, but she said it wasn't necessary and instead had me purchase lysine treats. My cat hated them, but I tried my best. Yesterday, he died suddenly in my arms. The emergency vet confirmed he hadn't choked, but couldn't say what caused it. I have spent a lot of time taking him to appointments here over the past year, and each time I was sent home without much clarity. I'm heartbroken and just wish more care had been taken when I asked for it.
