Description "Each VCA hospital has health and safety protocols in place based on health care best practices as well as state and local guidance and regulations."
They said they were capable of dental caps on the phone, so I took off work and drove 6 hours to visit. Turns out they don't, so that was a waste of time and money. I don't need to pay a doctor to tell me my dogs teeth don't need to be pulled, I need an assessment to see if she could benefit from caps. 🤦 Otherwise they seem like a nice establishment, up to West Hollywood standards.
Honestly just had the best vet experience of my dogs life to date with this place! The entire staff is warm, kind, and welcoming- and helped my dog who is anxious about vets. Doctor Nunez was incredible and was able to successfully give my dog his shots when his last vet visit at a different hospital was unsuccessful and gave up due to his anxieties. This place is incredible and I am so excited to have such an amazing vet now where I feel so confident in the staff and hospital. Two very enthusiastic paws up
Horrible clinic!!! Never!!! Never visit them. They only want your money and nothing more!!!! One day they charge me 97$ for 2 vaccinations and exam. Next time for same vaccinations they charge me almost 200$ !!!! How it is possible?!!!! They told me after, it is not vaccinations day 🤦♀️! How I supposed to know that if nobody told me that!!! Be careful!!!! And yes, they “suggest ” me do for puppy DHPP vaccinations 5 times 🤦♀️.
The vets are wonderful here, however the wait times are absurd. My appointment was at 4pm today with a vet tech for a blood draw. The tech came out at 4:26pm and told me it’d be an additional 30 minutes of my cat waiting in the back to have her blood drawn because they’re busy. I understand staffing shortages are affecting many businesses, but there needs to be transparency with the front staff assuring owners waiting that they’ll be seen shortly, and take a look at how patients are being scheduled to find a solution. My previous appointment was my two cats’ yearly checkup. It was a blood draw on both plus a rabies vaccine and an upper respiratory vaccine. In total that appointment took 1.5 hours from start to finish. It’s frustrating because basic checkups shouldn’t take this amount of time to complete. Please fix this, and train the front staff to show awareness and concern for people waiting on the bench long past their appointment times. We love our vet here, but are seriously considering switching since our time isn’t being respected.
The hospital is extremely busy and unfortunately that makes the experience very difficult and unpleasant. Just to refill a prescription be ready to call multiple times , put on hold with a long wait and wait another 24-48 hours to get the refill , they have an app that supposedly you can order a refill and they would tell you to use it but when you try it tells you to call! great doctors but they need more stuff at the front !
The front desk was neither professional nor polite enough. Last time I made appointment for my two cats through the phone, but when I arrived they said I only have one cat on the record and they couldn’t accept the other cat if I didn’t schedule before. I argued with them and they accepted both cats, but the experience was really frustrating! They also wrote down the wrong name for one of my pets when I came there the first time, and wrote my name wrongly the second time! The atmosphere was not friendly as well. It was so annoying. They never apologized. Definitely not gonna visit there again.
