  • "The staff was great with taking care our dog and great with communicating me (I was a bit hysterical)."

Cons:

Cost & Pricing

Pros:

  • "Vca is very reasonable."
  • "Pricing seems on par with what I'd expect to keep my dog from dying prematurely while being seen by specialists."
  • "They try to find different financial options and go over them with you, because they know how pricey things can be."
  • "They honored my 'first free exam' coupon which was very convenient."
  • "The prices are reasonable."
  • "It was affordable as well, thought it might by too expensive bc it’s an emergency vet but it was more affordable than my regular."
  • "They brought in the treatment plan and final cost before they started, and it was extremely reasonable."

Cons:

  • "Their costs are quite a bit steeper than other vets in the area."
  • "$407 for dewormer visit of a cat they saw only a few months ago."
  • "Price gouging alive and well just like is mentioned in all the other reviews."
  • "$130 just to walk through the door??? No, I think that's taking advantage of people and states that the money is more important."
  • "$265.58 seems a bit excessive for an ear exam and a bottle of drops."
  • "They charged me almost TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS, who the hell has that kind of money."
  • "We were stunned by a bill of $930.65 which included $534.90 for an ultrasound."

Professionalism

Pros:

  • "They quickly evaluated him and because miraculously there was no major artery damage they delayed surgery an hour or two to treat a dog hit by a car."
  • "Dr. Flemming did an wonderful job and Donna was phenomenal!! Everyone is always knowledgeable and friendly."
  • "Dr.wintergrass was so helpful and sweet! It gave me great comfort knowing she was looking after Shelby!"
  • "Highly recommend Dr Smagala! She is BY FAR the best vet I’ve ever encountered."
  • "Dr. Raven and the staff took such good care of our girl."
  • "Our Visit was with VMD Abbey Earle and she was just everything that you would want your Veterinarian to be!"
  • "Dr. Tannert was so helpful and informative."

Cons:

  • "The vet was somewhat cold and did not tell us what could possibly be wrong with our dog- she just jumped right into medical options $$$."
  • "They did ultrasound which revealed nothing and tried to rush us into surgery on Wednesday to remove and biopsy lump for additional $1000."
  • "I felt like we were expected to approve 'a treatment' they weren't even clarifying for us."
  • "They will charge you, give you medication that is not needed and misdiagnose your dog."
  • "This vet has no clue what they are doing with animals, but they are good at ripping off clients."
  • "Such heartless people, take your pet somewhere else unless you want them to die for the dumbest reasons."
  • "Then they turn up with a $3000 estimate of all these tests that they want to perform with no guarantee that those test will tell us anything more than we already know."
