| - This place is good.. but just good. I highly recommend only coming here for the most routine checkups and vaccinations. There was a Dr here that I liked, she was a little blunt (especially if your dog was a little over weight) but she obviously loved the dog she was handling, and she doesn't seem to work there anymore. She was the one who told me about my dogs cancer when he first had it, she quickly returned calls if I had questions, and recommended a great specialty place. I've had Dr. Hewitt, and he was the one who told me my dogs cancer was back when I was here for a checkup. Usually I get this kind of difficult news from our dogs really sweet oncologist (so maybe I was spoiled).. but the whole scenario here was awful and awkward. I felt hurried when I was crying over my best friend, and I had to ask for a tissue (usually people just hand you one when you have snot running down your face haha). When my husband went to pick up his remains when he ultimately passed he said the girl behind the counter looked visibly uncomfortable/awkward and handed him a bag with our boy in it, it all just felt very impersonal. I know I'm being nit-picky, but I've been to other vets in the valley that go above and beyond just because they truly love what they do.
They also had an extremely hard time wrangling my cat when she needed her vaccines. I offered to help and they told me to stay back (I get it, owners can get in the way) so I had to watch them struggle with her for another 10 minutes or so before they asked if I thought I could get her. Um.. yes.. that's why I offered :). I easily scooped up my now super stressed cat and put her in this box to put her under for the rest of her vaccines (they said I could do this or bring her back another day). I was charged extra for this, which I guess I should have known, but it was pricey and no one warned me ahead of time. I think if you want mostly affordable care that's routine and short wait times, this place is good. If you have a difficult pet or a difficult situation with the health of your pet, I'd recommend elsewhere.
