This place is still curb side assistance. Really! All other vet business aren't anymore. No need to be. Unless they plan on making you wait a extremely long time and over charge you. There's no need to keep us apart from our pets anymore. Read the room, Blue Cross Pet hops.

Honestly this clinic is EXTREMELY RIDICULOUS FOR THE WAIT IN CAR! Especially here in The Valley! It's hot! And our pets and us don't got time to wait! Especially right now Gas to expensive to just have car running with AC. I feel it's common sense if we are okay paying the bill we should be getting The GREATEST AND FAST SERVICE! Anything other then the wait in the car to process just a checking in. their find I guess, haven't been inside with my pet and the vet to seee how vet really treats my pet.

I've been coming here for my dog for three years because of their proximity to my home, but the care they provide is bad enough to force me elsewhere. They appear to be massively over-subscribed for the amount of work they put in, and I've found it almost impossible to talk to an actual vet about my dog's care. Wait times on the phone and "in person" (i.e. in their parking lot) are extreme. And for all this, their price structures can be absurd (~$500 for routine blood work needed to renew a prescription, and a huge markup over online pharmacies when actually filling subscriptions). They've also botched the writing of prescriptions, requiring extended back-and-forths between a pharmacy and their badly understaffed clinic. It's hard to imagine that one couldn't do much better.

A waste of time. I was told to wait in the parking lot for curbside pickup and someone would contact me. I ended up waiting close to an hour before I got the attention of one of the vet techs going in and out of the parking lot. I noticed online that the close time was 2pm (it was currently 1:20pm) and I was concerned if there would be sufficient time to get my dog looked at. The vet tech informed me closing time was only ten minutes away (1:30pm) I called the receptionist and was told that "they had tried calling me." I checked my phone and I had received no call. Worse case they outright lied about calling me, best case they called some other number. I am leaning towards the former since a) my phone history didn't record a call and b) f they were truly trying to contact me, why wouldn't they just check the parking lot?

Inefficient. Clearly trying to up-sell. Poor communication. Very disorganized. Was told to arrive early for my 2:15 appointment so I arrived at 2:05. Didn't get the paperwork to fill out until 2:35. They did not have any information we provided them before we arrived. Dog taken by tech at 2:50. Vet finally called at 4:15. He didn't have the dog's full information. Waited for another call back, which came at 4:50. Had to be put on hold because their records and mine didn't match.
And we find out there that they wouldn't do the blood work we came for. Still waiting at 5:05. Essentially they charged us $110 and made me lose 3.5 hours of my life for a rabies shot. We'll be trying a different vet after this.
