Overview: I was sent to see a Board Certified Surgeon and to the best I can find I saw a vet whose last job was an associate vet who was completely inept. I was sent to see Dr. Samson but had to go through the ER Vet at the practice. This was not my first time at an ER Vet or… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

The Doctors: ALL are wonderful! Over the course of my dog's recent illness, we saw many doctors, and others kept me informed by phone. The first doctor we met, Dr. H. Daniel, is a good communicator and very thorough. I am happy he did the needful testing while figuring out… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

We spent 10 hours at AVC and were required to prepay $1,828.70 before our cat was treated. The final bill was $1,306.80, but two weeks later our $521.90 overpayment has not been refunded. We also paid $830 for an after-hours mobile ultrasound and were promised the final report… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

Our dog has been dealing with intestinal issues for 4 months until we saw Dr. Cosgrove and Dr. Patel. Over the course of 2 weeks they gave our King Charles his life back. We are eternally grateful. View on Google (opens in new tab)
The staff was very friendly and the Vets here were more knowledgeable and attentive than my primary vet. We really appreciated our vet who was handling everything with our cat before he passed. View on Google (opens in new tab)

My cat Eva had x-rays that revealed concerns about a mass in her GI tract. Our primary vet didn’t have an ultrasound onsite, so they referred us to AVC for the procedure, along with stem cell testing to determine the type of cancer Eva had. Upon arrival, the front desk… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
I had an interaction with Dr. Christine Cassidy regarding a prescription over the phone. During our phone conversation, I felt that her tone was very harsh and came across as dismissive and unprofessional. It made it difficult to communicate effectively and left me feeling… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

Very efficient and kind-hearted staff! The few times that we've gone for an emergency, our cats were immediately given a room and seen right away. The veterinarians that we've seen have been so kind and empathetic, and the girls that sit in front are very on top of things. The… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
There are truly no words to express how grateful we are to the team at Advanced Veterinary Care. After a very difficult experience elsewhere, we brought our 13-year-old dog, Sir Nicholas, to Advanced Veterinary Care. Looking back, I genuinely believe they saved his life.
