All our pets for over 10 years have benefit from treatment from Dr Flynn and staff. They are kind and warm. When we have to say goodbye to our fur babies, they are kind and caring and feel our pain. They comfort us thru sorrow and celebrate when we bring a new member into our family. Highly recommend this wonderful center.

I'd been bringing my beagle to Dr. Flynn for over 6 years. He's always been very honest, warm, detailed in his explanations and on top of that always incredibly compassionate and kind. I highly recommend using Dr. Flynn for your pet's care.

Not worth it, they only care about your money and sending you reminders for it, they do not truly care about your pet. If you are okay with a Walmart change of oil - this is your happy place. Not happy at all, they don't review records but they will always have a choice that will cost you. I am moving on from this place.
