Pricing stands well below other clinics' quotes. The facility is clean and organized.

Most reviewers describe fast, compassionate emergency care with vets who explain options clearly and staff who show genuine kindness during crises. A smaller group reports overcharging, upselling pressure, missing records, and incomplete refunds, plus stark differences in experience between the Edgewater location and VEG's Colfax branch. The business operates 24/7 and successfully handles exotic pets (bearded dragons), surgical cases, and anxious animals. Pricing is higher than competitors, and reviewers note this is partly explained by round-the-clock availability. Named staff Dr. Lehman, Dr. Beck, tech Tucker, and employee Rayne received specific praise; one reviewer felt only Rayne seemed prepared to handle cats at the Edgewater location.

Long-time clients praise Dr. Drake and other vets for genuine care, patience with nervous animals, and a warm, at-home feel. Newer reviews reveal significant rifts: rushed diagnostics at initial visits, failure to complete or report bloodwork and fecal results, and front-desk rudeness that turned away potential clients before they entered. Since an ownership change, the clinic has split into two camps. Senior pet owners value thorough attention and follow-up calls. But recent accounts describe missed diagnoses, unnecessary surgery recommendations, and medication refill obstacles that required new appointments. One reviewer lost a senior dog to pulmonary hypertension after the clinic failed to order bloodwork at a wellness visit, then misread x-rays at the ER visit that followed.

Staff earn consistent praise for calm care with nervous pets and same-day emergency slots. Vets explain treatment options without pressure and follow up by phone. One cat owner felt her explicit instructions about nail care were ignored; another reviewer experienced a three-minute exam after a long wait and thought the heartworm test charge was steep. Most pets arrive anxious and leave calm. Dental care, vaccinations, and wellness checks form the bulk of visits. Dr. Devin is named for thorough health summaries. Techs including Lizz are called out for kindness. Fair pricing is mentioned in one review; a few flag costs as high relative to the broader market. Same-day access for sick or injured animals stands out.
