What recent reviews say

Over a decade of loyal clients credit the clinic with solving complex cases others had missed, backed by in-house ultrasound and blood work that deliver answers fast. Dr. Sarhangpour and Dr. Foltz earned trust through patience with anxious animals and sophisticated care of elderly pets; one long-term customer describes the culture of compassion as top-down from leadership. Some reviewers note the cost reflects the depth of equipment and expertise, though a handful report billing surprises and frustration with slow-moving surgical recommendations when speed mattered.

What reviews say by service

General Veterinary Care
Consistently praised for thorough exams, preventive care, and long-term client relationships spanning years and multiple pets.
Surgery & Specialty Care
Highly praised for complex mass removals and tumor management; one case criticized for recommending repeated antibiotics before surgical consult.
Exotic & Avian Care
One oblique review reference ('I like otters and I think they have sum fr sale') provides insufficient evidence.
Emergency & Urgent Care
Clients in urgent situations seek second opinions and continued care here after emergency visits elsewhere, suggesting trust but not routine emergency response.

The clinic stands out for its Fear Free approach, which reviewers say genuinely calms nervous and anxious pets during visits. Dr. Tan, Dr. Ashley, Dr. Sarah, Dr. Brianna, Dr. Hilliard, and Dr. Brandt earn consistent praise for patience, attentiveness, and persistence (one owner credits Dr. Tan with getting her dog a dermatology referral quickly). Staff member Emrys is named several times for his kindness. The rooms themselves matter: separate cat and dog spaces, home-like furniture, toys, treats, and blankets make animals comfortable. Reviewers note responsive texting updates, photo check-ins after procedures, and staff who adapt when a pet needs extra time or medication. "Happy Visits" for anxious pets and willingness to coordinate dual appointments are also mentioned. One negative review offers no detail.

Dr. Aiko and several technicians (especially Yairis) earn strong praise for attentiveness, clear communication, and genuine care during appointments. Yet the clinic is hampered by systemic problems: unexplained waits, rushed treatment recommendations before the vet sees the pet, missed prescription refills, and a defensive management style that blocks follow-up questions. One reviewer had to drive to multiple locations after being misquoted on pricing; another waited 40+ minutes and received a $500+ diagnosis before any in-person exam. Staff turnover appears frequent, and after-hours follow-up is unreliable. Low-cost positioning is real (vaccines and exams are cheaper than alternatives nearby), but cost savings can evaporate when mistakes force repeat visits. The experience hinges heavily on which vet and technician you see; Dr. Aiko and Yairis inspire confidence, while office management (particularly Jenn) is consistently described as dismissive, combative, and unhelpful when problems arise.

Most visits feel calm and caring, with staff who take time to explain procedures and work with nervous animals. But some owners report being pressured into expensive dental work that a second opinion proved unnecessary, raising concerns about whether all recommendations truly serve the pet's health.
