The staff are great. The Dr's are very knowledgeable and compassionate. They were able to give us a better diagnosis in an hour than our primary Vet could after 4 months of testing.

I brought my dog in for a behavioral analysis. He is a very anxious dog and sometimes that leads to less than ideal behaviors that we were worried might escalate and endanger him or others. Dr. Albright was really helpful. She spent a lot of time with him and with us, we tried different things to see what worked and what didn't. She gave us resources to continue helping him. Really, I couldn't have asked for more. And if you balk at the price, which I did, be assured you get so much more than you can imagine.

The staff was amazing. Everyone was very helpful and respectful. I brought in my 17 year old dog with a facial injury needing staples. They worked with me on the best options to get it done avoiding sedation by my request (due to his age and airway issues). My dog was comfortable and well treated. The wait time was reasonable and the price was affordable (especially for an after hours ER visit).
