Literally can never get in, loved the service we received when we could get in but had to go to New vet because they just never have availability and we have animals that need to be seen.

I been going to Airpark for 20 years now. The staff and doctors are very friendly. I met Dr Smith this evening, very pleasant and took her time explaining the issue my cat was having. Always have a good experience!

Report
Been going here for years. Easily spent over 3k on my dog. Went in this morning to pick up some meds. Asked for a simple tick removal tool (plastic about $.50 cents) and was told to remove ticks with my bare hands. I will be taking my dog elsewhere.

Report
I called on a Tuesday morning requesting an appointment for the following day for my dog. When asked what was wrong they told me it was an urgent matter that I needed to bring him in right away. My husband and I brought our 3 year old dog in waited for 40 minutes because they told us basically another animal was more important. Dr. And I use that term loosely Dr. Kennedy came in spent 5 minutes with my dog and said he had pink eye.
Very unprofessional. I bring my dog back two days later and was told my dog actually has acute glaucoma and is now blind. We saw a different vet who was absolutely wonderful and caring and actually was very thorough with the visit. I'll be looking for a new vet.
