What recent reviews say

Dr. Feldman, Dr. Spiegel, Dr. Waldbaum and other vets here dig deeper than typical clinics: one owner's dog with immune issues got specialist consultation instead of standard treatment, another's allergies finally diagnosed after years elsewhere. Staff move slowly and gently during exams, treat anxious pets with patience, and excel with exotic animals. Recent price increases at the newer location and mixed experiences with other vets have tested some loyalists, though the front desk and nursing team earn consistent praise.

End-of-life pricing sparked frustration in one recent review, but most experiences centre on thorough diagnostics, willingness to spend time with animals, and genuine compassion during difficult decisions. The 4.8-star rating across 542 reviews reflects this: nine in ten are five stars.

Praised for
  • skilled diagnostic vets
  • gentle, unhurried care
  • attentive to exotic animals
  • compassionate end-of-life support
  • knowledgeable staff who listen
Watch-outs
  • pricing jumped after location move
  • end-of-life exam fees felt insensitive
  • quality inconsistent across vets at new location

Best for: pet owners with complex or exotic animals who value thorough diagnosis over speed and cost
Think twice if: pricing has risen significantly since the move; some vets stand out more than others, so ask for Dr. Feldman, Dr. Spiegel or Dr. Waldbaum by name

Strengths

  • vets willing to consult specialists and research non-standard treatments
  • gentle handling of anxious and exotic pets
  • experienced with complex diagnostics
  • compassionate approach to end-of-life care

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Feldman consulted CSU veterinary specialists for a Golden Retriever with MMM instead of standard prednisone treatment
  • James (CVT) provided overnight care and detailed home nursing instructions for exotic pet (water dragon)
  • Dr. Spiegel diagnosed allergies as root cause after other vets had missed it for years
  • Dr. Waldbaum examines dogs on the floor when they cannot get on the table
  • Staff noted as 'never running behind' in one owner's year of visits
  • Facility described as clean and not crowded
