What recent reviews say

Overland earns trust through Dr. Brown, Dr. Pansiera, Dr. Kaplan and staff who listen carefully, explain options thoroughly, and treat nervous pets with patience. One client switched clinics over medication decisions made without clear advance notice or a predictable framework, though most reviewers praised the care itself.

Dental work, tooth extractions, shots, wellness exams, and surgical recovery all drew specific praise. The clinic handles both young kittens and 16-year-old dogs with the same attentiveness. Families and anxious pet owners consistently report leaving reassured.

Do the vets explain options for complex health issues?

Dr. Kathleen Brown and her team earn trust through straight talk about whether your pet truly needs treatment, avoiding unnecessary tests while offering thoughtful alternatives like probiotics and dietary adjustments when appropriate. Owners cite affordable rates, genuine affection for animals, and clear aftercare guidance as reasons they keep returning after decades; the small number of complaints center on occasional receptionist coldness and one disputed euthanasia decision.
