Staff were friendly and Dr Kumar was very knowledgeable. He took extreme care to my cat. He also gave discount and the extra food for my cat, my boy was refusing to eat and even opened his eyes but after the visit I could tell he looked more “alive” View on Google (opens in new tab)

Dr. Kumar is the best. He doesn’t do any unnecessary things for your pets and takes very good care of all of my pets. I have had my small Maltese who lived for 17 years until she passed. I feel like my vet also contributed to her long life and I have Dr. Kumar to thank for that. View on Google (opens in new tab)

This Vet means business! Here to focus on our furry loved ones. Not the glitz and the glamour. Wait times are minimal, doesn’t over charge and provides clear instructions. More vets should be like him. View on Google (opens in new tab)

We’ve been bringing our Dobermans here for the last 10 years. He’s always treated them well and has never tried to upsell us on services we don’t need. He treats them with such kindness that they love coming to see him. Prices are very fair. View on Google (opens in new tab)
