I've never been to this veterinarian but I felt the need to comment given a few of the reviews that are pretty negative.
When an animal has histopathology performed the results normally take 10-14 days and in some cases 21 days.
Most general practice vet clinics are NOT EMERGENCY or URGENT CARE equipped. While some can perform basic urgent issues, most cannot. Staffing, training, equipment are not adequate at a general practice. Your normal doctor that you see annually doesn't take emergency visits or urgent care visits, why do people constantly expect that of their vet clinics?
When the pandemic hit, people got bored and bought lots of dogs and cats. This influx of pandemic animals has caused a severe deficiency in the ability to get everyone scheduled in a previously timely manner. Truth be told, there just aren't enough staff at clinics. This is due to low pay, over worked, underappreciated employees.
This brings me to my next point. There is not a single vet clinic or hospital in it for the money. They don't make any money. The average technician makes roughly $17/hr in a general practice - and that's being optimistic. DVMs maybe average 90k annually. Factor in schooling costs for a vet - roughly $200k and for tech schooling - roughly $30k... Believe me when I say they most definitely aren't in it for the money. They don't make money from recommending food or prescription medications. There is little to no profit in animal medicine.
I've been a vet tech for 8 years - graduated 70k in debt and my first tech job started at $15/hr. The final tech job I was at ended at $22. I left the field because of lack of pay and the complete lack of humanity most clients put on the vet staff. We understand that your animal means the world to you, we do. We do not try and blow you off or disregard the urgency you feel is necessary for your animal. Be kind to your vet staff - they are doing everything they possibly can to see the animals that need to be seen. Your wellness exam can wait. Schedule knowing it may be months until you can get in. If your cat is not urinating - that's an emergency. Your dog vomited once? Monitor. Your animal isn't able to keep anything down, water included? Emergency. Liquid diarrhea started? Schedule an appointment for 3-4 days past the onset of symptoms and be prepared to go to ER if it worsens (bloody, anorexia, lethargy, listlessness).
Be kind to the staff and recognize that they are doing everything in their power to do what they can for everyone. There aren't enough hours in the day. The suicide rate in the veterinary community is ridiculously high. Please remember this the next time you're screaming at the receptionist because they can't get you in for a nail trim.
They took great care for our family despite our tough situation... Our cat Xena couldn't overcome her illness and they went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of after she past away... We felt like they actually cared about our feelings which meant a lot to us. Thank you all pets.
This vet has been very beneficial to my savannah kitties. My silver boy is special needs. Very caring & communicative.
They were able to get my dog in right away for an injured paw when his usual vet was booked out for weeks. I was nervous because it was a vet that we had never met or had never met our hyper dog. They gave me time to explain not only what was bothering my dog at the moment but they gave me time to tell them about my dogs personality. He's normally very hyper and hates his paws being touched, even in his sleep. They showed compassion for my dog and most of all, understood him. I will definitely be going back for any future items that my fur friend will need. He did have a broken toe which must be very painful, they were wonderful with him. Highly recommend this caring place!
