What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently experience attentive, kind care from Dr. Brown, Dr. Kaplan, Dr. Pansiera, and vet techs who take time to explain options and calm anxious pets. One long-term client cited unclear communication around prescription management changes, which made planning difficult despite good underlying care.

The hospital handles general exams, vaccines, dentistry including extractions, spay and neuter, and soft tissue surgery. Staff work with reactive dogs and senior pets. Reviewers note reasonable pricing for wellness visits and shots, and appreciate how technicians come to the lobby for nervous dogs.

Staff connect with pet owners on a personal level, answer questions patiently, and accommodate same-day and weekend visits even during holidays.
