What recent reviews say

Loyal clients praise Dr. Lori's depth of knowledge and her staff's gentle bedside manner with anxious pets. Many have stayed for years or decades. The tradeoff is a full schedule: new patient appointments can stretch months ahead, and the clinic cannot take walk-in emergencies despite being minutes away from injuries.

  • Dr. Lori's expertise and compassion
  • gentle handling of anxious pets

  • willingness to fit in emergencies for established patients
  • knowledgeable, thorough care

Common questions

How long is the wait for a new patient appointment?
Four months or longer. The practice is full and prioritizes established clients.
Do you handle emergencies?
No. The clinic does not operate as an emergency facility and cannot accommodate urgent walk-ins, even from nearby patients. Dr. Lori may fit in emergencies for existing clients when her schedule allows.

One recent reviewer called the staff rude with no compassion for animals; an older review praised a caring vet. With only three ratings spread across years and limited detail, this profile rests on thin evidence.

Long-term clients praise The Vets for affordability and Dr. Sebunya's attentiveness, but recent reviews show serious gaps in follow-up care and communication. Several customers report staff rudeness, missed diagnoses, and confusion about procedures and costs. The clinic appears in emergency searches despite declining calls for urgent cases.
