  Friendly staff. Called me a few days after my first appointment to make sure my new kitten was doing okay after getting his first round of vaccinations. Inside is clean and bright. This is my kitty's vet now! :)

  We lost our furry friend Irving 2 days ago. When I called, the staff took us in right away and made our last moments with our cat as pleasant as possible! I have recently taken my 2 other cats in to have them checked and vaccinated and the gentleman and staff were very pleasant to be around! As well as very knowledgeable! Thank you again for everything your staff has done for us, and we look forward to having you help with all of our pets needs! We highly recommend your clinic to everyone!

  Knowledgeable staff, was served quickly without appointment, vet was good and confident in his knowledge and went over everything that I needed for my pet. It's a bit on the pricey side but what vet isn't really.

  Support staff are all friendly and welcoming. They help make you feel at ease even in a nerve-wracking situation. Dr. Melissa Hardy is beyond excellent. She is very warm and her love for her animal patients is palpable. I would highly recommend her and if it were only her and the support staff this would be a 5 star review. However, their other doctor is competent... but extremely rude and uncaring. I brought my cat in due to an emergency, and he yelled at me because I was upset and asked him to be gentle with my cat because he was in a lot of pain. He left the room in a tantrum. Extremely childish behaviour from a so called professional. I am glad my poor cat was sedated for most of that particular visit, because this man treated him like a sandbag. Hauled him around by the skin on his back- not the loose neck skin. If you've ever accidentally done this to a non-sedated cat then you know they would yowl in pain. Sedation is no excuse for laziness and cruelty. He took a two hour lunch break in the midst of not only my own animal's emergency, but several others as well. If a medical doctor displayed this type of behaviour to his patients they would simply be fired. This man seems to resent animals and the fact that they occasionally get sick or injured as opposed to Dr. Hardy's obvious love and care. If he happens to be working, turn around and leave unless you have absolutely no other option.

  We recently had to make the difficult decision to have our beloved bulldog euthanized. Dr. Mogavero and all the staff were wonderful and extremely patient with us. Special thanks to Aileen for your compassion and all your help over the last few weeks. And to Dr. Mogavero, thanks for making her as comfortable as possible for her last few weeks. You resolved her skin issues last August after many trips to a dermatologist which allowed her (and us) a much better few months and for that we will always be grateful.
