Took my guinea pigs here yesterday, they gave us medicine…they are now dead. They were perfectly fine until we gave them that medicine. Other people I know brought their animals there, 3 dogs almost died because of the medicine this vet gave them and another dog went in because of a limp and couldn’t walk or hold her pee when she came back home. Don’t take your pets here. My babies are now gone.

Great practice. Caring staff and attentive care. The facility is wonderful. They have a tough job dealing with people and pets in very stressful situations, with emotions running high, and they do it well. And yes, it will be a bit more expensive than your regular 9-5 vet practice. Being staffed 24/7 requires those prices, much like an ER for humans. Keep that in mind when writing your reviews complaining about the costs. Not many areas of our size have a 24/7 emergency clinic for pets, and I am thankful we have one.

I cannot say enough good things about the doctors and staff here. I had to bring Enzo in in the middle of the night on Sunday for what turned out to be pneumonia. He was taken back right away to get examined. The staff explained everything they were going to do and the pricing was very transparent. I was so nervous about leaving him there because he gets so stressed out but after watching the staff interact with him and the other animals, I was put immediately at ease. I appreciated the phone calls from the doctors every morning and evening and the staff answered my questions over the phone and let us visit with him. I had questions after he was discharged too and they were so kind and helpful.

We recently had a wonderful experience here. Staff was kind, thorough, and pretty quick. Facilities were very clean and modern. Our vet recommended we come here and I’m so glad we did. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!
