This facility is top notch and goes above and beyond for their patients and clients. My dog was treated extremely well and they were extremely patient with her by giving her time to get comfortable with them prior to her exam. This enabled her to have a thorough exam without… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)

Absolutely wasted our time and money. Their total focus is money. Upselling from the moment you walk in the door. Have a monopoly on the region for canine dental.

I brought my Chihuahua Gizmo here, I knew she would need a few extractions and she had periodontal disease.
