What recent reviews say

Most visits result in stress-free care and genuine staff attentiveness. Reviewers note the cat-only setting, gentle handling, and thorough explanations during procedures. Dr. Rognrud earns consistent praise for responsiveness and compassion; Dr. Maybank's availability and bedside manner draw mixed reports. One long-term client raised concerns about private equity ownership driving up costs and lab delays, though most reviewers report fair pricing and quick scheduling.

The hospital excels at dental procedures, preventive care, and making nervous cats comfortable. Staff including Andrea and Destiny are named for extra kindness. Concerns center on variability between veterinarians, pressure to order expensive tests, and slow communication outside appointments. Bereavement follow-up was a sore point for one reviewer whose cat died at home.

Long-term clients and new arrivals alike praise the vets and staff for their genuine care, thoroughness, and ability to fit people in quickly. Multiple reviewers traveled 30 minutes or more because they trust the team completely. Several named doctors (Cole, Lipkin, Trainor, Gao, Maybanks) earned individual praise for compassion and patience. However, two one-star reviews raised serious red flags: one about unannounced extra charges for annual exams on repeat visits with a voucher, and another detailing misdiagnosed symptoms (bloody stools, coughing) that escalated to a three-day emergency hospitalization. The second reviewer also noted the clinic did not follow up after hospitalization or return phone calls about post-discharge flare-ups. These point to inconsistency in diagnosis and communication when problems emerge.

Reviewers consistently praise the team for bringing care to the home, which transforms anxious pets into calm, trusting patients. Staff like Dr. Rahim and Dr. Goulet are named repeatedly for patience, knowledge, and genuine compassion, especially during difficult procedures and end-of-life care. One client found the mobile model stressful after vaccine timing caused complications, citing billing friction and defensive responses when discussing the follow-up visit required. The clinic's stated services span routine wellness, dental, surgery, and urgent care; their home-visit model is the differentiator. Scheduling is responsive, explanations are detailed, and the team shows follow-through with check-ins and specialist coordination. Travel fees and procedural decisions warrant clarification before booking.
