What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently experience calm, attentive care from named doctors (Leka, Iguchi, Jovanovic) who explain procedures step-by-step and respect pet owners' wishes on treatment. Surgeries span amputation, tumor removal, and dental extraction. Staff send follow-up texts personally, offer free consultations and telemedicine, and adjust pricing for financial strain, distinguishing this practice from clinics reviewers felt rushed or overpriced at.

What stands out across posts: owners describe calling late at night and reaching doctors directly, waiting under two days for urgent appointments, and recovering pets with minimal complications. A 17-year-old dog's colopexy cost $2800 here versus $6K–$8K quoted elsewhere. One reviewer noted Dr. Iguchi caught lung spots another clinic missed one week prior, changing long-term care plans.

  • compassionate and personable doctors
  • transparent pricing and fair costs

Most families experience deeply attentive, patient care during one of life's hardest moments. Dr. Knepler, Dr. Katie, Dr. Sprague, and the team excel at home visits, same-day scheduling, and walking owners through the process without rushing. They offer memorial candles and online tributes. However, several recent users discovered large unexpected charges (surcharges for after-hours, travel, and services not clearly listed upfront) only minutes before or after their pet's death. Two customers report frustration with cancellation policies, slow memorial page uploads, and the company not automatically notifying the regular veterinarian of the pet's passing as competitors do.

Pet owners consistently report feeling heard and seeing their anxious dogs relax during visits. Staff greet animals by name, sit on the floor, offer treats, and call back days later to check in. Parking is tight and visit costs have climbed toward $95 for routine appointments. One early adopter noted service has drifted since opening, with higher turnover and less attention to detail, though experiences remain positive overall.
