What recent reviews say

Five-star reviews consistently praise Dr. Sarhangpour and the team for solving complex cases others missed, handling anxious pets with care, and running in-house diagnostics that deliver fast answers. The staff treats senior and special-needs animals with real expertise, and reviewers report feeling heard and respected.

One-star reviews center on misdiagnosis, billing surprises (estimates ballooning without explanation), and a case where delayed surgery for a suspected UTI surgery led to ongoing behavior problems. A long-term client values the practice highly but notes the cost is premium and not a fit for everyone.

Praised for
  • knowledgeable and caring vets
  • compassionate staff
  • in-house diagnostics and pharmacy
  • fear-free handling and calm environment
  • resolves complex cases others missed
Watch-outs
  • misdiagnosis leading to delayed treatment
  • upselling and billing confusion
  • lack of urgency in complex cases

  • In-house blood work and ultrasound mentioned as major advantage
  • International Veterinary Senior Care Society (IVSCS) membership noted for Dr. Sarhangpour
  • One reviewer has used practice for 10 years; another for over a decade

Senior care and complex conditions (kidney disease, cancer, IBD) handled expertly; used as second-opinion clinic.

Common questions

Do they have in-house lab and imaging?
Yes. They perform blood work and ultrasounds in-house, which reviewers note gives answers in minutes instead of days.
Are they good for anxious or sensitive pets?
Yes. Multiple reviewers report anxious dogs arriving calm and relaxed; the staff uses a fear-free approach.
What happens if I need care after hours?
They are open 7 days a week according to Google hours. For emergencies outside those hours, one long-term client takes dogs to an emergency ER and then returns to Legacy for follow-up.

Most pets visibly relax the moment they walk through the door, thanks to Fear Free design and staff trained to notice anxiety signals. Dr. Tan, Dr. Ashley, Dr. Sarah, Dr. Brandt, and Dr. Hilliard earn consistent praise for persistence with complex cases, working with reactive dogs, and treating families rather than just pets. Emrys (vet tech) and the broader team adapt quickly to individual needs, send recovery photos, and follow up by text after visits. Exam rooms feature couches, rugs, toys, and treats instead of sterile tables. One 1-star review cited unspecified poor service but left no actionable detail. Reviewers mention affordable care for a specialty practice and appreciated first-visit discounts.

Most reviewers praise the team's warmth and their ability to calm nervous animals; staff take time to explain costs and options without pressure. Concerns centre on pricing, prepayment mechanics, and allegations that some dental recommendations were unnecessary even after second opinions.

Most reviewers praise named vets (Gilbert, Fox, Alberg) for patience, kindness, and thorough explanations. Many highlight calm, stress-free visits and compassionate care for aging pets. Recent one-star reviews criticize rushed end-of-life handling, poor communication during procedures, and new policies felt as unfriendly; one complaint centered on a dog kept longer than promised with no updates.
