I have a new puppy, and wanted to select a vet that had a hospital attached, onsite boarding available & if possible, several locations. I currently have a dog & cats & had been looking for a new vet that checked all those boxes. I called & booked an appt. for first puppy shots. 2 days before the appt. she developed conjunctivitis. I called at 8:00am, explained the problem & that she had an appt. in 2 days. Even though I was not technically a client yet, they said come in at 9am that day. I did, they gave me cream & the problem was resolved. We pushed back the shot appt. to the following week to make sure the eye was healed.Then I came home & read the yelp reviews. I was pretty surprised, and not very happy. I debated contacting a new vet, but decided to keep my appt., go for the eye follow up & shot visit & decide after that.The shot visit (Schnecksville-closer for me) went great-I did wait close to 20 minutes, but the vet tech & Dr. gave me great service. Puppy did not feel a thing. He also gave me some training advice & answered all my puppy questions.Last night I went for her 2nd shot visit, (3rd visit total) to the Kessler road location. I was shown to the patient room within 5 minutes & the Dr. arrived almost immediately. He reviewed the previous 2 visits with me, (different Dr.) asked me some questions & also answered a few more questions regarding rabies vaccines, 1 year versus 3 year.3 shots, microchip & office visit total was $136.85. The first shot visit for 2 shots was $73.46. Both close to the amount I was expecting to pay based on quotes from several places.The best thing was when I left, the waiting room was full of people picking up & dropping off their pets for boarding, and regular office visits. I hung around and talked for a bit (everyone loves a puppy), and everyone there also seemed to be having a positive experience. I am happy that I now have a new vet that checks all my boxes, & I've learned a valuable lesson, Do Not let other reviews decide for me, check it out myself & then form my opinion. Read Less
