What recent reviews say

Long-time customers praise the kindness of most staff and ease of booking appointments, but recent reviews document serious gaps: slow diagnostic turnarounds (3-4 weeks for urgent cases), hidden charges beyond estimates, and inconsistent care due to veterinarian turnover. Multiple reviews flag aggressive upselling and costs 50-200% above competing clinics without commensurate quality.

Recent shift: Deterioration over past year. Recent complaints (past 6 months) focus on diagnostic delays, poor management communication, and ethical concerns around pricing and clinical decisions. Loyal established clients (5+ years) remain positive; newer clients or those with urgent cases report escalating frustration.

Praised for
  • compassionate and caring staff
  • easy scheduling and availability
  • good with anxious pets
  • comprehensive service range
Watch-outs
  • high costs and excessive upselling
  • poor communication and delayed results
  • staff turnover and continuity of care issues
  • unprofessional veterinarian behavior

Best for: Owners seeking one-stop comprehensive care who can absorb higher costs and manage delays in non-emergencies.
Think twice if: Time-sensitive diagnostics, tight budgets, or preference for consistent provider relationships. Several reviews report 3-4 week waits on urgent cases and costs 100-300% above alternatives.

Strengths

  • AAHA accredited and Fear Free certified
  • wide range of services in-house
  • friendly, caring front desk and support staff

Worth knowing

  • Exam fees $95 for dental consultation; extraction estimate $1,000+
  • Blood work charged separately from procedure estimates, sometimes as surprise add-ons
  • Monthly Cytopoint injection mentioned at $150/month
  • Dr. Margo and Dr. Moon named in complaints about rudeness and clinical errors
  • Multiple complaints about veterinarian staffing turnover and missing medical records
  • One case documented 3.5+ weeks for lymphoma workup with multiple follow-up delays

Emergency & Urgent Care
Available but multiple reviews cite 3-4 week delays on urgent diagnostics and poor communication of results.
Surgery & Specialty Care
Routine and soft-tissue surgery offered; costs and necessity questioned in some reviews.
Low-Cost & Vaccine Clinics
No clear evidence; pricing complaints suggest standard or premium pricing, not low-cost positioning.

Montclair Animal Clinic

Long-term patients trust Montclair with complex care, from routine vaccines to surgery, praising Dr. Sharkey and the team for genuine compassion and fair value. One reviewer reported insufficient follow-up after blood work and concerns about a prescribed thyroid medication that caused illness, though the broader pattern across 645 reviews shows consistent loyalty and recommendation. The clinic's strength lies in taking time to explain options, staying calm under pressure, and building lasting relationships with owners. Staff like Autumn and the front desk earn specific praise for personal attention. Surgery, dentistry, and geriatric care feature prominently in feedback. One caveat: post-procedure communication and medication monitoring appear inconsistent in at least one case.

Founders Green Animal Hospital

Reviewers consistently report a warm, genuinely invested team across front desk, techs, and vets. Dr. Mills especially earns praise for deep listening, creativity with anxious pets, and compassionate end-of-life care. Staff call to offer earlier appointments when cases are complex, send follow-up cards, and answer questions thoroughly without pushing expensive tests first. One reviewer had a negative encounter with Dr. Maria Perez in May, describing rapid speech, rudeness, and failure to deliver scheduled treatment. The same reviewer had thriving relationships with Dr. Margolis and other staff before that visit. Overall the clinic shows strong execution in general care, anxiety management, and difficult medical conversations.

Banfield Pet Hospital

3.5(193)✓ Verified

Some long-term clients praise the wellness plans and compassionate care they've received over years. However, recent reviews reveal a troubling pattern: staff and veterinarians often label nervous or anxious pets as "aggressive" and refuse treatment unless owners consent to sedation or expensive add-ons, even for routine preventive care. Multiple reviewers report feeling pressured into unnecessary tests, medications, and procedures, and describe inconsistent communication about what's included in wellness plans. The clinic excels when providing standard preventive care and wellness exams, with several vets (Dr. Ramos, Dr. Rodriguez for certain cases, Dr. Miller) earning individual praise for thorough examinations and empathy. Yet staffing challenges, poor phone accessibility, and a documented pattern of refusing service to anxious pets without medication have eroded trust, particularly among newer clients and those needing follow-up care.
