Cons:

  • "Be careful what you ask for with some of these vets, because you can be taken advantage of."
  • "Turns out I did make a mistake in having these vaccines administered (all at once) because my dog already has what he needs according to my other vet and they don't over vaccinate or over medicate."
  • "This place is about making money and NOT about the care of your animal."
  • "I was NOT sent to an emergency vet I was sent home to find a reproductive specialist with the Doctors main concern being GI."
  • "I suppose if you want to blow $200-$300 per year on 'well visits' this may be an appropriate vet, however, if you expect people who actually care about the life and death of your pet, go elsewhere."
