What recent reviews say

VCA Southeast wins reviewers over with compassionate, knowledgeable veterinarians (Dr. Ryan, Dr. Crawford, Dr. Belen named) and warm staff who remember pet histories and handle difficult diagnoses with care. Several report returning despite having closer alternatives. Wait times exceed an hour even for routine visits, and two reviewers had serious friction over billing disputes and inconsistent dental diagnoses.

Most recent reviews consistently praise staff compassion, fast emergency help, and reasonable dental pricing. One older 1-star complaint from 7 years ago raised serious care concerns, though review counts suggest a fresh start since then. Limited detail from recent reviews.

Long-time clients praise Broadview for affordable routine care and knowledgeable staff, but recent reviews show serious rifts: wait times, appointment cancellations, and vet conduct. Dr. Rucker appears distracted and curt during consultations, particularly when discussing serious diagnoses or quality-of-life decisions. The clinic declined emergency bloat care. Phone system issues and front-office delays frustrate even loyal customers.
