What recent reviews say

Most visitors praise the team's kindness, especially during difficult moments. Dr. Perez and Dr. Osburn earn particular mention for attentiveness and patience with anxious animals. Follow-up phone calls and clear communication stand out. However, several reviewers report sudden price jumps on routine visits and confusion over advertised free exams, leaving them doubting the clinic's transparency on costs.

The clinic keeps appointments on time and offers affordable pricing, though some feel recent bills don't match past charges or industry norms. Staff handle emergencies graciously and remember pets by name. Concerns about medication choices and treatment philosophy persist for a vocal minority.

Recent shift: Pricing transparency concerns emerged in recent reviews (last 6 months), with complaints about sudden increases and promotional confusion contradicting earlier praise of affordability

Most reviewers praise Dr. Knepler, Dr. Katie, Dr. Sprague, and Dr. Dally for deep compassion during in-home euthanasia, with unhurried appointments and calm handling of anxious pets. A few owners report significant problems: undisclosed upfront fees, surprise charges appearing days later, staff inexperience during the procedure itself, and no automatic notification to the pet's regular vet. The service shines when doctors have time and experience, but pricing transparency and follow-up systems appear inconsistent. Some families found the at-home goodbye invaluable despite higher costs; others felt trapped by sudden charges and a rigid cancellation policy applied during their most vulnerable moment.

Reviewers consistently praise Dr. Lisano and the team for calm, attentive care and their ability to book same-day or next-day appointments. The Total Care Plan and flexible pricing options make routine care accessible without sticker shock; spay/neuter and surgical outcomes are noted for quality and thoughtfulness. One cat owner flagged weight measurement errors that affected medication dosing, raising concerns about tech accuracy in critical medical details.

Five-star reviews praise staff warmth and Dr. Calloway's attentiveness, noting genuine touches like handwritten cards after pet loss and willingness to help emergency walk-ins after hours. One-star complaints focus on pricing (vaccines double the cost of competitors), lack of informed consent before vaccinations, high staff turnover, and documented surgical errors from years past, with some reviewers experiencing dramatic shifts in care quality when preferred vets left. Staff kindness registers strongly across reviews, but the price-to-experience gap widens when vets rotate out. Those seeing the same doctor consistently report better outcomes; new or unfamiliar staff sometimes rush through or forget appointment context entirely.
