The people there were fantastic! Good hearted Vet with caring techs that took good care of their patients! They have affordable plans in which you pay a nominal fee every month and they carry out all they responsible diagnostics that animals need throughout the course of their life. Trust me on this place. I've had pets all my life and this is the best place to get everything necessary your pet will need.

My yorkie was ill and they got her in quickly. They explained the course of treatment and the cost of it. They took xrays and the vet and I went over them together. I felt my yorkie was in good hands.

Came here after Viscaya Prado went to heck. I am so impressed with the staff, and the vets. Everyone is wonderful, and truly has your pets' best interests at heart. They are very upfront with the pricing as well. Appointments are usually available same day or next day. They always call to follow up after appointments to make sure everything is going well. The techs are really great, and always make sure you're in a room promptly, and not waiting past your appointment time. The vet also comes in very quickly as well, and I'm always impressed with how quickly I'm in and out!

Been here several times now and always leave feeling uncomfortable. They write notes under the wrong dog and then argue with me when I try to tell them the information was about my other dog. Even then the next person will walk in trying to treat the wrong dog. Even worse they talk to me in condescending ways apparently thinking this is my first rodeo. I've had dogs my whole life. One vet had the nerve to tell me most dogs aren't nervous at all going into the vet and actually like it. Basically she was implying my dogs are psychos. I've never had an experience like this with any other vets in
