I had a major scare with my cat Meeko who suddenly developed acute kidney failure and almost died from sedation from previous vets. I needed to do follow up bloodwork on him after trying antibiotics but he gets incredibly anxious and feisty at the vet. This was the only place willing to attempt a blood draw without sedation or gabapentin and they did an amazing. They took him to a different room so I wouldn’t have to see or hear Meeko put up a fight and they successfully got the blood and urine they needed without any kind of drugs! Thanks to them, I was able to find out that my boys kidneys are back to normal and I still have valuable time with him. Dr L was very sweet and compassionate. It meant a lot to be presented solutions and options after listening to other doctors pressure me to put my cat down when I knew the antibiotics were working. The office itself has really great vibes as well and everyone is very friendly! Meeko has a new vet! 🎉

I have been coming to this vet for 7 years, since my two cats were kittens. They used to have a building just for cats and that is why I came here. Now they are in a building that has dogs and cats. We went last week and a dog was barking on the other side of the wall from the exam room my cats and I were waiting in. It barked for almost 20 minutes uninterrupted. I don’t understand why no one was doing anything but my cats were absolutely freaked out. It was a horrible experience for us all. On top of that our vet was late coming back from lunch and we waited for over 40 minutes, with the dog barking, my cats shaking and so scared. They tested a lump on my female cat’s abdomen and still haven’t contacted me with the results and I’m so stressed and upset. I have called many times with no answer. Anyways. Time to search for a new vet. If you have cats and want them to have a good vet experience, please think of going elsewhere.

I tried making an appointment and I told them I’d call them back due to finding out a perfect time, they hung up twice, another time when I called they said “again?” Quite disappointed in this when I was just trying to make a appointment for my cat.

The staff really cares about their patients and when we put down my cat they were so kind and never rushed us, letting us take our time with him.
