Our cat is usually not a happy camper when she realizes we have her carrier out to take her to the vet. Naturally, this makes us very nervous about these experiences too.
Despite this, we had a very pleasant experience on our visit here. They had a beautiful dog and a napping cat hanging around the clinic when we got in which was really nice and put us at ease. Like a previous reviewer mentioned, there were a couple of other people in the checkup room in addition to the doctor. However, this worked out for us as they were all very attentive to our questions and very good at keeping our kitty calm. If you think this might make your pet jittery, it might help to mention it to them when you are scheduling. Having a couple of extra hands on deck also made for an efficient visit. As the doctor reviewed our cat's files, one person took her temperature and another answered some of our questions. All in all, we were in and out in about 20 minutes.
The doctor was pleasant and very clear in answering questions and concerns we had. They also did not try to upsell us on products or other things we really did not need, which unfortunately has been our experience at other vets. Overall, for 2 different shots that she was due for and a checkup we paid $90 which seems in line with costs in the area.
