What recent reviews say

Most visits go smoothly: Dr. Bob and staff (Dana, Natalie) build trust through attentive exams and fair pricing. But two detailed negative reviews describe critical lapses: blood work results not explained before surgery, early kidney disease warning signs missed across multiple visits, and emergency care advice limited to expensive referrals. Front desk interactions also cited as dismissive and unwelcoming.

  • thorough exams and follow-up care
  • knowledgeable and caring staff
  • affordable pricing
  • takes time with pets and owners
Watch-outs
  • poor communication about test results
  • dismissive of health concerns
  • rude front desk staff
  • high cancellation fees

Best for: Pet owners seeking affordable, experienced general care who prefer cash-based pricing and less rushed appointments.
Think twice if: Ask to review any test results with Dr. Bob before leaving; front desk interactions have been reported as unwelcoming by some clients.

Worth knowing

Dr. Jen Tucci and her team use acupuncture, manipulation, laser, and rehabilitation to help dogs and cats recover from injury and manage chronic pain. Owners report dramatic improvements in mobility and quality of life, even in cases other vets said couldn't improve. Anxious animals become calm here, and the office feels welcoming rather than clinical.

Staff and vets treat anxious and senior pets with genuine care, explaining options plainly and taking time with nervous animals. Reviewers credit Dr. Parker, Dr. Sylvia Berns, Dr. Bryan and staff like Kortnee and Allyssa for reducing pet stress and delivering felt competence. Prices often beat expectations, though phone estimates may differ sharply from in-person assessments. Their weekend and extended hours fit urgent situations. Many highlight how they detail treatment plans upfront and let you decide without pressure. Dental, surgery, and emergency visits all drew specific praise. One reviewer raised concern about a pricing gap between phone quote (600-1000 dollars) and in-office estimate (2300-4200 dollars) for tooth extraction.
