Decent vet but DO NOT get your prescriptions filled by them. They charged me $50+ for meds that would’ve cost me <$10 elsewhere. $1.40 and $2.25 per pill for meds that are 17¢ and 12¢ per pill through chewy View on Google (opens in new tab)

Stay away from this clinic if you care about your pet or your wallet. They seem to only care about racking up your bill and very little about your pet’s wellbeing.

I made an appointment. As I was literally parking my car they called and asked me to reschedule. What is the point of an appointment? Completely unacceptable. They couldn't call me any sooner? I was literally in the parking lot! Do not recommend. View on Google (opens in new tab)

Did not provide thorough enough care to help my sick cat, ran unnecessary tests to charge more and pricing is significantly higher than average vet to get people to sign up for their monthly care services.
