My ten week old puppy had to have emergency surgery today the staff at this vet is so wonderful and showed so much empathy Dr. genoble( not sure how to spell) is a real vet he was really concerned about our baby he was so patient and loving with us and him.i would recommend this vet all day every day. You just don't see the passion I saw in that office anymore.the whole staff was great.

The folks at Chesdin are a truly understanding and helpful team of Veterinary professionals. I have nothing but good things to say about my experiences with them. At a time when it can be a struggle to get an appointment with a vet, their drop-in-only model is something that the community desperately needs. Their prices are also very affordable, for folks to whom cost is a concern. We are lucky to have them!

We've had nothing but good experiences here. We use the Vet and the grooming, staff has always been great and I feel like the prices are the same as anywhere or a bit better. Love the walk in hours, much better for my schedule even if it means you have to wait sometimes.

Super rude staff at this place. Had my dog scheduled to be spayed for over 2 months and then I am told the morning of her spay that they will not accept my SPCA voucher bc she is purebred. However, she is a mix and apparently they didn't believe me bc I got her from a breeder. I drove over 35 min to and from this place only to be turned down when they had originally accepted my previous voucher. I can't justify paying $400 plus for a spay when I am currently battling breast cancer. So disappointing.

I've never wrote a review before, but this experience was so inconvenient I felt like I had to. I had come here once before around the time covid started, nothing special, but no issues. Yesterday, I called to see if I needed to book an appointment for routine shots for my two cats, to which I got a response "no, you just walk right in, you don't have to do anything special". Okay, cool.

Today I arrived at noon, an hour before they close for what I guess is their lunch. The lady proceeds to ask me if I had signed in already, I told her no, I was told I could just walk in. As it turns out, you have to "sign in" no later than 11:45a to be seen before 1pm. This is all fine, but NO ONE relayed this to me when I called. She said to come back at 2:45pm to sign in as though I'm going to sit around and wait that long to be seen when I am coming from the Fort Lee area.

If I had come back at 2:45 I might have just asked them if they had some gas money for wasting my time. Both of my cats have special needs, and I'm actually glad I got turned away before being seen by any veterinarian here. To some degree, I feel like I'm not saying anything different than what some of these other reviews have said. These folks are both rude in person, and over the phone, where they sigh and try to get you off of there as fast as possible.

Like most places in a small town, I'm sure most of these good reviews come from the locals who know them personally already. Being that I work at a 1000+ room lodging facility for the military, most of whom will be PCSing to this area with their family, when asked about local vet offices for their furry family members I will make it a point to let them know about my experience here.

Rick had taken care if our 16 yr. Old Yorkie so when it was time to make a decision as what to do because he could no longer see or hear and was having seizures plus would only eat chicken. He humanely put him to rest

Great place I wouldn't take Miss Tilly to anyone else! Love Dr. Grenoble! He takes his time with and talks to you. I love the care that he shows. His father was the same way. I miss seeing him at the office. Had many conversations with Dr. Grenoble Sr. I would recommend this office to anyone looking for excellent care of their pet.

I'm not one to leave bad reviews, but I just can't anymore. I have made 3 attempts in the last week to bring my dog in and get turned away everytime because of one reason or another. This is not close to me but works great with my schedule. I understand you have one doctor but if your short a vet maybe you should take appointments until this is resolved.

The ladies who work here are very rude. When I ask a question, I get a deep sigh, as if I'm bothering them. I've been there approximately 10 times and they are rude every single time. The only reason we still go here is because it's convenient, close to home. The last time we were there my dog literally held on to me out of fear. She DID NOT want to stay.

As if that isn't bad enough, the rude ladies called the morning of an appointment and rescheduled. And that's fine, but when we had to reschedule, they charged us forty dollars. They are terrible, rude, and possibly the most nastiest attitude we have ever encountered. Seeing their nastiness towards people, how kind do you think they are towards our animals. My advice is FIND ANOTHER VET, we did and our animals and us are extremely happy.
