What recent reviews say

Most clients describe Indian Tree as caring and thorough, with staff who take time to explain care and costs. Dr. Carrie Wang and the team are praised for calming anxious pets and avoiding unnecessary procedures. One significant complaint alleges misleading dental recommendations and pressure toward costly treatment that a second opinion found unnecessary.

Recent shift: One recent 1-star complaint about overdiagnosis of dental issues and pressure toward expensive treatment (a month ago) stands in stark contrast to the overwhelmingly 5-star pattern. This suggests possible inconsistency in dental assessment or sales approach, though most recent reviews (within weeks) remain very positive.

Legacy Veterinary Clinic

4.5(379)✓ Verified

Legacy earns strong loyalty from families managing long-term or complex pet health problems. Reviewers consistently praise the vets (especially Dr. Sarhangpour and Dr. Foltz) for expertise in senior care, rare diagnoses, and behavioral sensitivity. In-house blood work and ultrasound cut wait times from days to minutes. A minority report delayed treatment decisions and billing surprises that cost them hundreds or more. The clinic lists eight services across general, surgical, dental, and holistic categories, with staff who stay with owners through difficult diagnoses. Long-term clients emphasize the culture of kindness shapes quality. Cost runs higher than competitors, but reviewers who stayed value the thoroughness. Those burned by miscommunication on estimates or initial misdiagnosis have not returned.

Care Animal Hospital

4.8(805)✓ Verified

Staff and multiple named vets (Dr. Gilbert, Dr. Fox, Dr. Alberg) earn consistent praise for gentleness with pets, thorough explanations, and unhurried care, especially during difficult end-of-life decisions. Recent low ratings flag concerns over management changes, refusal of emergency wound treatment, rushed bedside manner during euthanasia consults, and poor communication during day boarding-complaints that undercut the practice's otherwise strong reputation.
