Most appointments deliver attentive, skilled veterinary care with staff who take time to listen and explain. Named vets like Dr. Feldman and Dr. Spiegel diagnose conditions others miss and consult specialists when needed. A minority cite pricing concerns post-relocation and report that end-of-life consultations incur exam fees that feel tone-deaf during already-difficult decisions. The facility runs on time, stays clean, and handles anxious pets gently. Exotic animal owners praise the capability and affordability relative to competitors. Dental and surgical work earn consistent praise, though quality depends partly on which vet you see; Dr. Feldman stands out but does not work full-time.

Half the reviews celebrate attentive vets and weekend scheduling, especially the puppy wellness plan. The other half report pricing confusion, staff rudeness, medication refill obstacles, and concerns that routine exams missed a serious health issue. Customers considering the wellness plan should ask detailed questions about coverage limits and cancellation terms before signing.
