Reviewers consistently praise Dr. Cheng, Dr. Liu, and Dr. Hart for unhurried care, genuine warmth, and follow-up contact after appointments. The practice is notably cheaper than nearby competitors and excels at calming anxious animals. However, serious diagnostic failures haunt the clinic's reputation. One reviewer reported a misread mammary cancer diagnosis, another described a traumatic blood draw with four failed attempts while the cat was visibly distressed, and multiple reviewers cite missed or delayed serious conditions. Some say fees feel inflated despite the "affordable" label, and the website lists services staff say they do not provide.

Most visits feel smooth and staff are genuinely kind, with weekend availability and quick results. But recent reviews flag surprise fees (urgent care surcharges, fluid charges), hidden charges appearing only at checkout, and concerning incidents with euthanasia care and unnecessary diagnostics that left some clients questioning whether the business prioritizes revenue over animal welfare.
