Staff treat dogs and cats as family, answer questions patiently, and fit urgent cases in same-day. Multiple reviewers praised pricing transparency and a clean, calm environment. One detailed complaint: Dr. Amy Casali missed a significant weight gain over six months that turned out to be thyroid disease, and when told about the oversight, dismissed it; markup on in-house supplements was also cited as high. Care extends to end-of-life visits on holiday weekends and emergency situations. Dr. Vonch and Dr. Summers are named for attentiveness. Reviewers consistently report confidence in treatment plans and follow-up communication.
