In all honesty this place was horrible my pet which was as part of our family was token there for pet care after being attacked by another dog the carelessness this staff showed to my daughters was horrible they put in his in a cage and basically let her die as my daughter sat there crying so sad😒😒 I would never recommit his place to anyone nor will I go back my pet died yes died the trauma and psychological effect on my children will not be forgotten the saddness and empty hole that it feels will never be replaced. The next day I went to get my money back and noone even cared to ask about my pet dog so I let them have by saying "Incase you guys were wondering she died" the ugly side of some people tends to be noticeable and their money hungry faces are shown. AT LEAST SHOW YOU CARE EVEN IF YOU FAKE IT AT THE LEAST MAKE US FEEL AS IF YOU HAVE A HEART!! WILL NEVER COME BACK. Read Less

It was alright as far as price $35 for an exam. I went to get my dog checked if she was in heat but rather I left really heartbroken when the vetenarian kept telling me that I was wasting my money on my paralyzed dog. My dog got hit by a car and can't walk and I have decided to keep her. I bought her own wheelchair where she can get around. He kept saying it was better to euthanize her because I was always going to keep "wasting my money" on her. I told him I have decided to keep her and I don't care to pay for her when I see she still gets happy she eats she plays, and plus I wasn't going for that reason, she was in heat and I just wanted to know if she could get spayed. I didn't go in for his personal opinion. I cried alot because he made me feel I had to kill her due to her condition, but I know im not going to something I know it's not right when I see her and she gets happy playing and living a normal life. I feel like I wasted $35 just to get judged and I didnt even get what I paid for. The receptionist was nice. Read Less

Don't risk being your pet to this "animal hospital" if you truly love your pet, don't bring them here. Also don't be cheap and only bring your pet here because it's affordable.

My dog went in having bronchitis, doctor gave him medicine saying he'd get better with in weeks. My dog was getting worse, he wouldn't eat, sleep, play, or walk. He wasn't the same anymore. We took my dog to see this doctor multiple times. A week after he has neumonia, my dog could barely breath. Doctor gave him multiple shots, and medicines, he even showed us X-rays and guaranteed my god would be healthy. My poor little dog died. I was promised that my dog would return to being the happy dog he was before, my family and I wouldn't hesitate to pay the medical bills, we didn't care the amount we spent as long as he would get better. My dog died in my own arms. My childhood, my best friend, my little one. For those who need a vet and read this, know this clinic is the worst, it's all business. They don't care for your pets, they only do this for money. If you love your pet, don't make the mistake of bringing it to this clinic. Screw this "animal clinic". Read Less

They killed my 5 year old. They didn't have any permission to put him to sleep to perform x-rays. When I have any of my pet that have not been put under, I always have them tested to make sure they don't have any bad reaction that could lead to death. This @SS decided to do it without my permission and my cat OD just to take x-Rays? The staff has 2, one doc and one nurse! Take your pet to a vet that has a full staff so proper care and not laziness which ends in deaths. They even charged up front so I couldn't even get a refund. Lesson learned, never go to a vet that wants money up front, and that doesn't have a staff of 5 or more. I'm sure many "death accidents" happen here. Didn't even have the heart to sue cause I'm so emotional. Read Less
