i felt compelled to write this because other reviews about this vet were harsh and scary. i had an emergency and this was the only vet with a neurology appointment the same day. others wanted me to bring my pet in as an emergency service and the onsite neurologist would only consult--- which means they would charge me considerably more money. this vet gave me a direct appointment with a neurologist no extra fee. the place is clean, the staff is friendly and extremely helpful and compassionate. the dr was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to answer all of my questions. the same dr performed the mri and the surgery which means that she was with my dog every step of the way. she checked up on him numerous times daily and she was the one who called me each time as well instead of having a staff member do it. my dog had an mri on site that day and surgery immediately after so he didn't need to be knocked out twice. i was called after the mri, and post surgery with updates. i was then called twice a day with updates during my dog's stay for recovery. they have visiting hours from 4-8 with your pet!!!!! you can bring treats and toys etc. they have the option for an onsite application and approval for a credit card if necessary for you to pay your bill. The prices were considerably lower than others suggested online for the same services and surgery which was a relief. they even kept my dog a few days beyond his release date for free until i could get someone to help me lift him in and out of the car and crate when we got home. a truly wonderful experience, and i couldn't have asked for a better dr. do not hesitate to bring your pet in for help.
