What recent reviews say

Dr. Hammond's expertise in eye surgery, especially tumor removal and glaucoma care, earns consistent praise for saving pets' vision and lives. Staff are described as compassionate and communicative. A significant shift to equine-only practice has left small animal owners unable to access services they previously relied on, and past scheduling mix-ups frustrated some.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: Business transitioned from small animal and specialty eye care to equine ophthalmology only; this shift has left former small animal clients without access.

Helping Paws Animal Hospital

4.9(57)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Staff stay late, listen closely, and make pets feel at home-not like routine cases. Their prices (mass removal at $300 instead of $1,800-$2,400 elsewhere; dental cleanings around $800 instead of $1,600) are the clearest sign of how they differ: flat-fee, no hidden charges, and owners can be present during surgery. Multiple reviews name Dr. Kappel, Dr. Mack, Jade, and Stevie as standouts who comfort anxious pets and keep people informed. Surgical work is their strength, from emergency intestinal blockages to routine dental extractions and spay/neuter. They text post-op updates and answer endless questions. The sole complaint is that they're not truly 24-hour emergency (one owner couldn't reach them when their cat was hit by a car), so don't expect round-the-clock availability.

Second Chances Veterinary Care

4.6(411)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Many reviewers praise Second Chances for genuinely affordable surgical and dental care, coupled with staff who handle anxious or grieving owners with real compassion. However, recent visits reveal hidden fees (test charges, prescription fees) that contradict upfront price quotes, and at least one complaint that staff dismissed a patient's diagnostic requests based on cost assumptions. The business excels at dental cleaning outcomes and emergency euthanasia care; Dr. Mausbach leads a team that communicates well before and after appointments. Whether pricing truly remains "low-cost" depends on the procedure and what fees the front desk discloses when you call ahead.
