tube una mala experiencia en esta clínica hablo y pregunto por una limpieza de dientes de un Chihuahua, que tiene seis años cómo no se deja lavarse los dientes, pues ya había acumulado bastantito sarro Y hago una cita por teléfono donde la recepcionista me explica que son 250, y si tiene más de cinco años serían 90 más por el examen de sangre para ver qué tipo de anestesia ponerle hago la cita y mi esposa lleva el perro en la mañana, y ahí le indica de qué ya no van a hacer 380, que porque decesita un un antibiótico que cuesta 150 me habla a mi esposa y me dice que la cuenta ya subió a 625 y que si necesitaba sacarle unas muelas que iban a hacer $70 y que si necesitaba a cocimiento y iban a ser 250 adicional por lo cual yo acepté después recibí una llamada exactamente como a las tres de la tarde dónde me indica las recepcionista que la doctora le dijo que ya no va a ser la limpieza de los dientes que quisiera hacer otros exámenes de la tráquea y algo del cuerpo que sólo eso me iban a acostar como 480 a500 y que después iba a checar los exámenes, y de ahí iba determinar con la limpieza y todo, o sea que de 340 se cambió 640 después otro 500 ede otros estudios en fin, en una limpieza de dientes se convirtió en un dineral, porque pues ellos sabían que yo califiqué con la tarjeta CareCredit y a lo mejor me lo querían vaciar esta clínica no se los recomiendo tengan cuidado, mi esposa no se sintió a gusto con la doctora que lo vio un muy ruda para hablar y ve alos animalitos como fufi no le sintió confianza, ya que mi perrito es un Chihuahua de seis años noble, y todo el caso es que no acepté y fui a recoger a mi perrito que me cobraron $90 nomás por el estudio de sangre que le hicieron

Very professional staff, I was worried about my dog and I called to make an appointment ASAP, they let me in just before closing and the doctor and staff were very kind and professional.
I didn't wait at all, I change clinic because I wasn't getting the right attention in the last one plus it was very expensive.

This vet showed zero compassion and treated animals with cruelty. I strongly advise anyone reading this: do not bring your pet here.

This clinic is the worst place I have ever taken a pet. The way my animal was treated here was disturbing, careless, and inhumane. Instead of showing compassion or professionalism, the staff handled my pet roughly and made me feel like their life didn’t matter. I left traumatized by what I saw and completely heartbroken at how little care they showed.
I would never recommend this place to anyone who loves their animals. If you care about your pet’s safety and well-being, please go elsewhere. There are far better veterinarians who actually value animal lives and treat them with kindness.
