Close to home, saw me same day for puppy paw infection. Following Dr. Orders and meds. My dog has healed 100%. Great job. Little pricey, but don't have any other veterinarian to compare too. We are happy with them

They were available for a same day appointment which was great. But getting the requested help and addressing my concerns about infection due to a loss of teeth/poor dental health, swollen lymph node just did not happen.

I asked about a prescription for simparica, didn't happen in a timely fashion waited 10 minutes before leaving in addition to the 50 minutes i had been there waiting and getting the exam, blood work drawn and nails clipped. Most of the time was spent waiting (2/3) despite their not seeming very busy beyond where to place their landline phones.

When I got a call back about my dogs blood work the vet raised a concern about the health of the pancreas and wanted to run more tests. But my regular DVM said the numbers didn't indicate that necessarily but more likely a sign of infection. The antibiotics i got from my regular DVM helped with my dogs energy levels and seemed to help with her bad breath which I assume was the infection? that I could smell in her gums. Hopefully this will get her through until her teeth cleaning/extractions appointment.

Overall they seemed ok just not very communicative or responsive to requests. Perhaps in part it was my difficulty in understanding everything that was said to me as I was having a bit of a hard time understanding everything with the doctors accent. Their receptionists/vet technicians? Were ? ?️.

I know this place has some bad reviews, but you shouldn't always believe everything you read. I've learned that you have to make your own judgements and opinions and person/place/thing. With this Said I do recommend this place. After calling one after the other in Google maps finally after10+ calls they were able to get me a same day appointment and take me in as a new patient. I had started to really get upset with every other vet telling me either they are all booked up or that they are not taking new clients. My own vet wouldn't even get me In. The vets whole crew although they do look fresh out of school are still very knowledgeable and they might lack experience but hey give them a chance so that they can. I mean I did and I don't regret it

Dr Singh is compassionate and knowledgeable. I recommend him highly. He is available almost anytime and his rates are reasonable. People tend to forget a Vet is a doctor, a surgeon, a dentist, and his clients can't tell him what's wrong. I am constantly impressed with his care of my pets.

To all the reviewers that give this place a low rating because you have a problem with the receptionist or you think some one was not nice to, just stop. You are doing a disservice to animals because you your human feelings got hurt. Vets choose veterinarian school instead of human medical school because they would rather deal with animals instead of humans. Go figure. Rate the veterinarian clinic by the results you get from your unhealthy pet.

I had a very sick puppy and she needed to see a vet asap. Due to the lower ratings, I called this place last. But they were the only vet clinic i could get i to the same day on Saturday. I admit u want in with a bit of bad attitude because of all the negative reviews. I challenged everything he told me but Im not a vet so I dont know if the expensive food and drugs drugs he was recommending was going to help. But at the end of the day, the vet has far more knowledge about animals than I do. So I bought the food and medicine. 24 hours later. My puppy is no longer crapping blood no longer looks like she is about to die. The bill was reasonable and would have paid much more to have the puppy healthy.

i wish vets who only care about money were illegal to exsist.. they wanted to charge $400 for an exam and xray and keep the dog overnight. all i came was to get her bandage off. this place gave me really bad feeling my dog was shaking like crazy when we came here for a second time. when you go to a vet you should expect the vet to do whatever is best for the dogs health, not recommend test after test until the dog cant take it anymore and dies

I wish I could give this hospital zero stars. I work at another pet hospital and had a client ask me if we could call and get her pets records sent to our hospital so we could see her pets. When I called and asked for the records to be faxed over, the DOCTOR proceeded to get EXTREMELY hostile and tell me that he had sent them before and I had already talked to him. I had personally never spoke to him or the client I was calling for, and he had the audacity to tell me I was wrong. He continued to argue with me over the fact that he had already sent them, and talked down on our hospital and acted like he knew everything about our hospital. All of this simply because I was doing my job. I finally was able to get the clients records transferred over, and somehow managed to keep my cool while being disrespected. I genuinely feel bad for any client that has to deal with him, and I worry for the pets that are under his care. He is genuinely a disgrace to the veterinary industry.

I took my pup in for a rash, and the vet techs were very patient with him since he is terrified of the vet. Once they took him in they put a muzzle on him because he can be nippy when he is upset, and they put the muzzle on WAY TO TIGHT!! He had an indentation in between his eyes because of how tight they made it for him. Besides that everything was fine (:
