What recent reviews say

Most visits reflect genuine care: staff accommodate anxious pets in-room, vets explain conditions without condescension, and follow-up calls show attentiveness. A few reviewers hit cost friction-one care plan charged $68 for only 5% discounts, another faced a $400 blood test without clear consent and pricing. Communication gaps on procedure time and medication cost create frustration for a small subset.

Recent shift: No clear trend shift; positive tone consistent across timeline, though cost/communication complaints cluster in the last 5 months.

Praised for

  • emergency availability on weekends
  • gentle handling of anxious pets
  • honest pricing and no unnecessary upsells
Watch-outs

Reviewers consistently encounter a vet practice built around Fear-Free principles, where anxious and reactive dogs transform from dreading visits to actively seeking them. Staff spend time letting pets warm up at their own pace and offer free "happy visits" to build trust before procedures. The clinic's physical spaces mimic living rooms (couches, soft music, toys) rather than sterile treatment tables. Dr. German and her team spend full hours on exams, discuss holistic options alongside conventional care, handle specialized cases like wobblers and severe anxiety, and clearly explain costs upfront. Weekend appointments and sedation protocols that minimize post-procedure complications are frequently praised.
