All of the Vets & staff are friendly and compassionate. We have 3 cats and a golden retriever & they always make us feel welcome & we know our pets are in good hands here.

I was always able to get in touch with Dr Briganti while my cat Montana was ill, and I credit her care for extending his life and quality of life by months when many thought he had just days left.

If I could give 0 I would. Place is terrible over charge you on medication. Don’t tell you when price increases go up. Brought my dog in for a sickness. Was told he was over weight and needs to diet. Came back in another day and turns out he had pneumonia. Brought my dog in for a procedure and they did the wrong procedure. Wasting multiple trips to this hospital. Dogs dew claw was broken and needed attention. Couldn’t be seen. Worst hospital I would stay far far away from this place.

I was not going to originally leave a review because I felt bad, however people deserve to know to take their precious pets to a vet that actually cares, and does a thorough job. If I could give a zero star review, I would. We brought our cat in because she had been vomiting on and off for a 1.5 weeks, and had lost 1/3 of our body weight. The vet did bloodwork and gave us anti nausea. They told us we would have the blood results by the next day. They did not, in fact, we called multiple times a day, every day, until Thursday afternoon when they called us around 6pm with the results. (We went in on a Monday, and to be gracious to them, Monday was indigenous people’s day / Columbus Day, so maybe the bloodwork place was closed, but that’s still far more days than ‘the next day’) The vet who called us with info about the bloodwork was not the same vet we saw. She told us that all the bloodwork seemed healthy and that our cat only had an elevated white blood cell count, and that she should be good. They told us to continue to monitor her and then see if we want to bring her back in, but there was no cause for concern. We decided to go to a new vet for a second opinion because it was clear that the vet over the phone was not briefed with information about our cat, as she didn’t even realize she had been vomiting for many days prior, and didn’t even bring up the weight loss. The new doctor within minutes of seeing her was alarmed by her size. We did an ultrasound right then and there, and found out she has cancer. Do not bring your pets here if you want answers.

I finally found a great vet! I work with Dr. Brigante she helped me with my cat Cali to extend her life comfortably with kidney disease. She monitored Cali with blood, ultrasounds & urine tests. Dr. Brigante set us up with a proactive drug program to manage her symptoms extending her life & keeping her symptoms at bay. Previous vets if they gave me a bad diagnosis that was it. Nothing to treat symptoms or to make the cat comfortable just a take her home. I didn't know I had any options for treatment. Dr. Brigante educated me about the disease and prescribed meds which helped me make Cali's illness and last days comfortable. I know I did all I could to not watch my baby suffer and flame out which meant the world to me. I can't sing the praises of this clinic enough. Staff is efficient & knowledgeable. They can have your medication for pick up in no time flat. Not only that, everyone is empathic, share their knowledge & experiences with their animals to help pet parents manage aftercare. They take Trupanion insurance and have a system where Trupanion at checkout receives a claim from the office and send back the amount of the bill they will cover and I paid the balance. I did not have to pay the full amount, file a claim then get reimbursed. This was very helpful with the visits, procedures and medication we needed. Knowledge, compassion and proactive medicine are what you receive at this fabulous clinic. If you love your baby check it out.
