What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently report that vets like Emma Gober, Ashley Curnett, and Dr. Flanigan spend real time with pets and owners, explaining care clearly. Staff greet dogs by name and remember their history. The clinic shines with anxious or fear-reactive pets, handling them gently enough that nervous animals look forward to visits. One recent complaint alleged vague diagnoses to maximize out-of-pocket charges; most other praise centers on compassion during difficult moments, quick scheduling, and the app's record access.

The facility itself is described as spotless and peaceful. Techs Angie, Megan, and Maggie are named for care and attentiveness. Reviewers value the All Access membership and virtual emergency consultations for triage. Several households with aging or injured pets report returning ten-plus times over a year and traveling an hour round-trip because of trust in this team.
