What recent reviews say

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.
