It was very well laid out. I hate having my dogs in the waiting room and being crowded by another person's animals. You can't be sure they are friendly or contagious. Please use a leash on your dog. They will loan you one in a pinch, but you should have your dog under full control inside their facility.
I have not used their emergency services since they stopped their overnight coverage. Talking to others that have gone for an emergency during the day, they have been happy with the service.
The staff take the information and have you in an exam room pretty quickly. Lab results are done in a timely manner, and you often get a call with the results to go over any possible issues and answer questions. I have not experienced any delays between recommendation for a test or lab and their ability to conduct it. Blood work, x-ray, were straightforward. My dogs aren't afraid when with the vet tech and don't fuss or pull away.
I do miss them being able to hold a dog overnight during an emergency. Having to move an injured or sick dog is upsetting for both humans and dogs.
I feel all my animals have received great care at this facility. Other than when I see the price of prescriptions, I have always been glad during and after a visit.

Arrived 10 minutes before the appointment. Quickly checked in, got the weight of my dog. Doctor had finished a bit early so I and my dogs went into a room a bit early. Tech took Extra and pulled two stiches. My dog came back and she was ready to go. As this visit was part of the original quote, so no charge. Easy Peezy Lemon Squeezy

My senior dog has been going here since he was a puppy. He loves them and we were always happy.
Unfortunately they no longer do medical procedures here.

Spoon decided to get some abscess infections that opened nasty looking wounds on their belly. Needed to get them checked just because. Was very lucky to get an appointment on a Saturday. Antibiotics, cleaning, and a collar to prevent licking. Good to go. Reasonably priced and up front about cost.
