I would not bring my pets to anyone besides these guys they're great they're caring, they know what they're talking about. You know people sometimes say oh they're pricey you know what, if you love your animals they shouldn't see a price tag. They give the best care possible, they love your pets like they love their children.

Front desk staff is a little. Blunt? They aren't rude or anything, just seem like they've got a lot going on, and you're distracting them. The Veterinarian and nurses are superb. They're our primary vet from now on.

Wonderful, friendly staff and knowledge veterinarians. I've heard from other people they're expensive, but they're worth every penny when your pets care is of utmost importance. I've been going here for quite a few years. Dr. Tangari is the vet I see, but on short notice I've brought my pets to see other doctors as well and have not been let down thus far. Highly recommend!
