My cat had the sniffles, so I made an evening appointment. My regular vet closes at 5pm, so if I'm working late I can't get in. Banfield has later hours which is convenient for the 9-5 worker.
I got there a few minutes early, and might have waited 10 minutes before being taken to the exam room. When you go to the exam room, they see you RIGHT NOW. No waiting for 10 or 15 or 20 minutes. Can't beat that.
The doctor and tech checked out my cat. Very friendly and kind to my cat. After the exam, the doctor prescribed a treatment identical to what my regular vet gives her. For pretty much the same cost. And a lot less time spent waiting. Checkout very fast as well.
As a bonus, if you need pet supplies, you're right there at PetsMart.
