Had to take my tort in for an emergency visit. There was a slight wait list, and the receptionist said that it could take until the next day to get him seen, but they called me back a little more than an hour later and were able to see him. The vet and vet techs were all very nice and took care of my boy and taught me how to give him his meds so I could take him home same day. They even had suggestions for good products to help prevent a repeat of the issue.

Great service! They came out with the gurney for my dog got him in right away when he ingested something he shouldn't have, and I was in a very comfortable room. They gave me updates. The only downside was the cost. 700 bucks later. 300 of which was just for one week's worth of medicine!

When my cat needed the service of a veterinarian Falls Road was the right place to bring him for treatment. His problem was treated, and the visit returned him me in good health. I found the staff and vets very friendly and knowledgeable. I love the way they interact with the animals. If I could have given 10 stars as a rating, I would have given them a10!

My lab cut his paw pad in the early evening after his regular vet had closed for the day. After a few hours of unsuccessful attempts to stop the bleeding on my own I called several other emergency vets local to me to try and get him seen. Falls Road was the only place who took his active bleeding seriously and had me bring him in right away. Dr. Hayward was very informative and kind to answer all of my questions.
She stitched up my guy, and I was able to bring him home with clear instructions on how to keep him comfortable and the area clean. Wait time for the procedure was normal, especially when this is an emergency after hours hospital where people are bringing their critical pets in for care. Thank you Dr. Hayward and staff for taking care of my boy!

I have been a loyal customer for over 25 years. I've had several dogs and ALWAYS took them to Falls Road over the years. I had heard from others that the quality of customer service had deteriorated but I had not experienced much of a change. until now. I cannot get an appointment until mid April and if I walk-in willing to wait until there is a no-show or lull in the emergencies, I will be charged extra?
How ridiculous. How insensitive to folks where there is an issue or their pets need to be seen. Consequently, no ability to get shots. I cannot board my little guy. Spoiled. Falls Road was so friendly and like a family. Falls Road made you feel like you were leaving your dog with family. They used to send reminder postcards when shots were due! Things have change and perhaps i need to change where i do business.

With the exception of requiring useless face diapers to be worn, the care and follow up to my recent panicked emergency visit at 12:30AM for my cat was handled very well. Even if the end result had not been positive, Falls Rd handled everything from my initial distressed telephone call to my arrival and taking the pet carrier instantly to ICU, to allowing me to wait in an exam room, to explaining events in simple terms to the happy reunion after my cat spent the night under the vet's care and observation indicate both professionalism and compassion by the whole team on duty that night and the team into the following afternoon.
