I've been reluctant to write this review since I am no longer a patron of this facility but after seeing what looks like paid for reviews- including some of the 5 Star reviews that are EXACTLY the same- I've decided to take the time and write down my thoughts on the facility.
This is one of the cheapest vets around for routine checkups and vaccinations, but not for accidents, surgeries, or emergencies and provided you have a small dog.
Dr. Daniels is afraid of large dogs (anything over 40lbs) and will muzzle your dog or have other staff examine or provide care. I've had several large dogs (pits, Rottweiler, lab, great dane) over the years, all with good temperaments, that Dr. Daniels has been afraid to take temperatures, give shots, and examine unless they were muzzled. The rest of the staff doesn't have this same problem and when I've taken them to other vets they've never requested any of them be muzzled. This issue isn't isolated to my pups alone as a neighbor of mine experienced this as well when taking their dog in for shots. For years I ignored this issue solely for the fact that it was once a year and I was saving decent amount of money, but after Dr. Daniels suggested one of my dogs was aggressive and needed to be put down I decided no amount of money was worth the subpar care. This comment was said to another staff member IN FRONT OF ME while she was washing her hands, as my dog was lying ( a very aggressive action) in a corner after a routine exam. I honestly thought she was joking at first, given my dogs current position, which was alone a red flag, but once I realized she was serious I was completely disgusted. When she left the room and the staff member apologized to me.
As for emergency care, they will examine your pet and then tell you they don't have 24 hr care and that your pet needs to be transferred elsewhere- but they won't tell you this until after you've paid. They should refer you elsewhere from the start, given they can't truly provide this type of care. Read Less
