The staff is so sweet and knowledgeable. I've been a fan of VCA and am happy they are fairly close to me.

Friendly Staff. Busy. But I was able to get an appointment within a couple days. I have two 1 year old Iguanas. Sid and Nancy. I learned a lot from my first visit on animal husbandry. I was informed about different options & choices that could or should be made. I struggled finding a veterinarian who is knowledgeable not on just reptiles. But Iguanas Specifically

We took our 4 year old Lhasa apso/shitzhu here for a free first exam. We had some questions and concerns about various ailments, potential procedures, and other inquiries that we wanted clarity on, and we wanted to bring him in for a general checkup.
The location was easily accessible and has its own parking. It was not crowded at all on a Saturday afternoon and they have tons of various treats for dogs and a fancy espresso/tea machine for humans.
Every one of the staff was incredibly attentive, caring, thorough, and knowledgeable. Vanessa; the vets assistant, and Lauren; our veterinarian did an amazing job with the checkup from explaining everything, listening to our concerns and questions, caring for our dog, and putting in a plan for the future of our dogs well being.
thank you so much! Picture is our happy Cosmo boy after the appointment.

TW: loss of pet
I brought my dog in at the beginning of the month for vaccines and to discuss what I believed to be facial seizures and hair loss on my 3 year old dog. They told me that the hair loss was consistent with allergies but did not at all address the concern that I had about her facial seizures, even though I had taken videos and showed them.
This past Monday, my best friend had her last seizure and passed away. I do not necessarily place the blame on the vet for the loss of my dog but I feel that if I had been taken seriously and my concerns had been addressed, I would’ve had at least a little more time with my best friend. She was so young, so full of life, and gone too soon.
If you bring your pets here, please advocate for them. Do not let them brush off your concerns. You know them better than anyone and if something seems off, don’t give up.

For $700 I expect to have my concern taken seriously and to have the Vet actually acknowledge my concern and answer my questions. While I do want their expertise, it is not good customer service to discard out of hand what I think is wrong with my dog. Even if I am incorrect, they should have the courtesy to look into it and explain. I’m so tired of being upsold medicine and services after a five minute tech exam. It’s not good when you feel ripped off even when you’re willing to pay and appreciative for the care.
