They contacted me about my cat that has been missing for 5 years. It is an absolute miracle. They gave her a shower and got rid of any fleas etc and gave her a shot. I am more than happy with them.

I would not recommend this veterinary office. For over a year, my dog continued to decline under their care while I spent hundreds of dollars (they strongly prefer cash). We were reassured everything was fine, yet he was getting worse and worse. After switching vets, we were told his condition should have been handled very differently. He was started on the correct medication, and within FOUR DAYS he showed more improvement than he had in a year — his hair is even finally growing back after being sedated and shaved eight months ago. Red flags I ignored: • Told prescriptions had to be ordered through Chewy because it was “cheaper” — it wasn’t. • Never offered written scripts to fill elsewhere. • Consistently rude staff — Mona in particular. The final straw was when I referred a friend. They were given incorrect vaccine instructions, blood was drawn while the kitten screamed and continued bleeding, and they were told she didn’t have worms — which she later did. I feel awful that I didn’t seek a second opinion sooner. Please advocate for your pets and trust your gut.

I can’t say enough how wonderful the staff are there. The rooms are clean, there’s little to no wait time, and my puppy Bonnie loves it there!

Dr Hernas and her entire staff are just wonderful. They all seem to be devout animal lovers who genuinely care. I’ve been taking my 5 lb tiny, sensitive, toy poodle Dominique there since she was a puppy, now 12 years. Dr. Hernas diagnosed Dominique with Epilepsy when she was five during a very stress-filled period of difficult to describe seizures. Dr. Hernas and her staff and continue to monitor her and as a result, it’s been very controlled ever since. I’ve known Dr. Hernas before using her veterinary services and am here to tell you that her compassion for animals along with her skilled medical and surgical experience is second to no one. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
