Veterinary Emergency Care Lowry

Most visits result in fast triage, honest cost explanations, and staff who treat anxious owners as carefully as their pets. Dr. Pearlman and others earn trust through detailed diagnostics, follow-up updates throughout treatment, and genuine affection for animals in their care. One documented visit involved a vet's dismissive attitude and a poorly diluted injection that caused the kitten pain, though other staff expressed concern. Billing has occasionally confused customers, though most report reasonable pricing for emergency care.

Montclair Animal Clinic

Montclair Animal Clinic

4.8(645)✓ Verified

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.
