From my experience with this vet, I’ve learned to read all reviews and not trust an overall rating. I wish I never switched to this vet. I have taken two of my 5 animals to 3 visits for different issues. There has never been more than one other animal there, yet I wait forever before the tech even comes in. My first visit my male was referred to a neurologist immediately. I know my dog and Boxers and knew it wasn’t neurological. My gut said to find a new vet and I didn’t listen. Now I’m faced with my baby girl having cancer and surgery scheduled a few days away and them wanting $309 (for a single 6 year female boxer) just for annual shots/exam. That is on top of the $1400+ to remove her mass. My last vet was absolutely incredible and I got all possible shots, exam, heart worm test and more for the dogs for $166 each. It would be one thing if the service was worth the money and I felt comfortable with the experience of the vet. A vet with 25 years experience should be able to diagnose medical issues or have an idea what it would be. This vet displayed no knowledge was gained in 25 years. I do not feel my fur babies are in very good hands here at all. In this case, I did NOT get what I paid for. Read Less

I called on a late night and the front desk clerk (so sorry I forgot her name but she’s a sweetheart) provided me the details of a visit...and capped it off by saying they provide estimates UP FRONT! That was a relief. I noticed while I was waiting to be seen that the front desk got about 10-15 calls asking the same exact questions I asked. When I suggested they set up an automated response to alleviate high calls inquiring about the same info she went into detail about the service she offers to customers goes beyond convenience. The Pet Hospital holds their customers and their furry family members in the highest regards and can only showcase that up front by providing a human interaction...not a machine. I was thoroughly impressed and moved by the values they hold and practice every minute. After being seen, the vet was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in our circumstance and her (as well as the vet tech) helped me administer my pup’s first round of meds to show me how to administer. Truly top notch service provided was provided by this team...genuine care is hard to find these days and they nail it with incredible simplicity.

It was a Sunday and my baby wasn't feeling well. This was my first visit to Friendship Pet Hospital and I was greeted with compassion and concern. I was especially happy to see that the desk attendant actually knew us from our vet and she was familiar with our dog. She knew right away something wasn't right. Although the wait was long (of course, I was a walk-in), my boy was checked on regularly to make sure he didn't need emergency care. My overall experience was nothing short of amazing. Everyone I saw come in were treated the same as I--these people truly care about our fur-babies. Within a couple days, my boy was back to his rambunctious self. Thank you for being available for us!

The staff is nice, but I feel like every time I go it's a cash grab. Went back to our other vet for a second opinion (switched because it's further) and even they were shocked at the price we paid for bloodwork. Will stick with our old school vet who doesn't have to send everything out to be checked.
And don't hesitate to get a second opinion. Friendship just wanted to keep running more and more tests, and then send our dog to the emergency clinic. The other vet looked at the tests Friendship already ran and new right away what the problem was (which Friendship couldn't tell).
If you don't mind paying through the nose and waiting for results, Friendship is great. Read Less

My husband and I have been with Friendship Pet Hospital since Aug 2011 because they truly care about your pet and treats them like one of their own. We have a special puppy who almost died at the age of 3 due to Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and if it wasn't for the caring staff at Friendship our puppy would not be with us today!! Thanks to all their help and support she has recovered but she still has some health issues that flair up and the caring folks ALWAYS have time for us and especially for her!! She actually loves everyone there when we have to visit them, she acts like it's her day at the spa with her friends. Between Joan and Lauren who spoil her rotten to Laurel and the others who just genuinely care our puppy thinks its AWESOME to go to the vet!! So you know that speaks volumes in itself!! Dr's Stephens, Marbach and Briggs explain things in detail so you understand what is going on and they give you options so you always know what to expect. I would recommend them to anyone who wants their pet to be loved and cared for while undergoing their yearly exam or a serious incident. They are FABULOUS!! Read Less

Emergency visit as I was visiting a friend. They were able to call my other vet to verify shot records. Were through, and gentle. Gave me options about how far I could go with treatment and cost of each up front.

They're my favorite! Best vet team I've ever known! Will cater to your needs, and look out for your pet's best interest. They are very compensating, and make you feel like they care more about your pet's wellness over trying to get every penny from your wallet. They are genuine, and giving. They have helped all 3 of my dogs. One was really sick and near death, and gave us a great quote for a surgery where another vet was going to charge thousands more. And the other two dogs I have both had random sicknesses and they carefully diagnosed and treated them, while making us feel very loved. They also helped my friend's cat who had an abscess, and completely helped her, when the cat would've probably become critical within days of that if not treated. Read Less

We had a great experience when our 10 yo healthy dog had an episode where he was clearly in pain, panting, not able to get comfortable. The receptionist was kind and helpful and the vet tech was skilled and compassionate. The vet was very thorough and seemed to care more about our dog than in selling us products or services he did not need. Prices were competitive and not more expensive after hours. Read Less

It was a Sunday and my baby wasn't feeling well. This was my first visit to Friendship Pet Hospital and I was greeted with compassion and concern. I was especially happy to see that the desk attendant actually knew us from our vet and she was familiar with our dog. She knew right away something wasn't right. Although the wait was long (of course, I was a walk-in), my boy was checked on regularly to make sure he didn't need emergency care. My overall experience was nothing short of amazing. Everyone I saw come in were treated the same as I--these people truly care about our fur-babies. Within a couple days, my boy was back to his rambunctious self. Thank you for being available for us!

The staff is nice, but I feel like every time I go it's a cash grab. Went back to our other vet for a second opinion (switched because it's further) and even they were shocked at the price we paid for bloodwork. Will stick with our old school vet who doesn't have to send everything out to be checked.
And don't hesitate to get a second opinion. Friendship just wanted to keep running more and more tests, and then send our dog to the emergency clinic. The other vet looked at the tests Friendship already ran and new right away what the problem was (which Friendship couldn't tell).
If you don't mind paying through the nose and waiting for results, Friendship is great. Read Less

My husband and I have been with Friendship Pet Hospital since Aug 2011 because they truly care about your pet and treats them like one of their own. We have a special puppy who almost died at the age of 3 due to Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and if it wasn't for the caring staff at Friendship our puppy would not be with us today!! Thanks to all their help and support she has recovered but she still has some health issues that flair up and the caring folks ALWAYS have time for us and especially for her!! She actually loves everyone there when we have to visit them, she acts like it's her day at the spa with her friends. Between Joan and Lauren who spoil her rotten to Laurel and the others who just genuinely care our puppy thinks its AWESOME to go to the vet!! So you know that speaks volumes in itself!! Dr's Stephens, Marbach and Briggs explain things in detail so you understand what is going on and they give you options so you always know what to expect. I would recommend them to anyone who wants their pet to be loved and cared for while undergoing their yearly exam or a serious incident. They are FABULOUS!! Read Less

This place is amazing. They knew who we were right when we walked in the door and greeted my puppy as if they'd known him his whole little life. I so loved that. The techs, front desk, and the doctor were all super nice and amazing. Very thorough. It's unfortunate that they are our 3rd vet in the past week and half. But they are the only ones who offer payment plans. So that being said they most definitely have our business and I will more than definitely recommend them to anyone who asks. Read Less

Emergency visit as I was visiting a friend. They were able to call my other vet to verify shot records. Were through, and gentle. Gave me options about how far I could go with treatment and cost of each up front. My only complaint would be what it is with every vet I see- the up sell on shots, and Un necessary blood work to solve the immediate issue. But they still treated us nice even when I refused. I appreciate that. The emergency visit was very reasonable, less than $100 including medicine. I would return again.Read Less

They're my favorite! Best vet team I've ever known! Will cater to your needs, and look out for your pet's best interest. They are very compensating, and make you feel like they care more about your pet's wellness over trying to get every penny from your wallet. They are genuine, and giving. They have helped all 3 of my dogs. One was really sick and near death, and gave us a great quote for a surgery where another vet was going to charge thousands more. And the other two dogs I have both had random sicknesses and they carefully diagnosed and treated them, while making us feel very loved. They also helped my friend's cat who had an abscess, and completely helped her, when the cat would've probably become critical within days of that if not treated. Read Less

I usually don't write reviews but had to when I read all the negativity here. I have never once had a bad experience with this vet! In fact, one of my dogs is extremely timid and he warmed right up to all the techs and doctors. I don't feel like they try to push or upsell at all. They make the right recommendations but if I am not ready to buy, they don't pass judgement. The pricing is fair too!
I only have two complaints: 1. I wish they had better hours. I work long days and it is hard to take off work to get the pups in, even on the weekends 2. I wish they took American Express! Read Less

This clinic is amazing and all the staff and vets are so warm and friendly. They really do care about the animals that walk through their doors and as a pet owner I really appreciate that. I feel like my animals are in good hands here and trust the staff fully with helping me make the right decisions for my pets. They have a state of the art facility equipped with digital radiology, capabilities to run blood work in house, perform surgeries, and provide laser therapy or acupuncture for animals with chronic pain.
