What recent reviews say

Staff earn consistent praise for warmth and skill with pets, and clients who have positive experiences note fast access and clear explanations. However, a substantial minority of reviews document serious concerns: missed diagnoses that delayed life-saving care, steep pricing (upwards of $75 for exams, $300-$800 blood tests), and a hard-line stance on fees even for longtime patients. Some reviews also mention dismissive interactions, particularly around ability to pay and honoring adoption coupons.

The hospital excels at handling anxious animals and most routine care, with one vet (Dr. Riley) singled out by name. Problems cluster around high costs, inconsistent empathy in difficult cases, and a business-first approach that can undermine trust. Emergency response has also drawn criticism for rudeness during calls.

Most owners praise the clinic's compassion, affordability, and the gentleness of Dr. Forester and staff like Terri. Animals come back happy, and the practice works with families on payment plans. Two recent owners experienced significant delays in test results, poor communication when following up, and one had a dog's name misspelled on cremation paperwork with unreturned calls. Price for dental work can still be steep despite the overall reputation for affordability.
