I realized I never reviewed them at the time, but understandable considering the circumstances. One of the worst veterinary clinics in the north shore area. Keep your pets away. Staff is incredibly unsympathetic and cold.

This is the best vet in the area!! My partner and I have been taking our fur baby (cat) here, the staff is super friendly and kind, Dr. Dunn is amazing and super knowledgeable. They have affordable rates as well, we super recommend them! We'd like to continue coming here but we moved away and the distance is a bit challenging at the moment. We recommend them 100%!!

I would give a zero! I took my boy there in 2021. He had arthritis and had his shots updated. Then it closed. At the end of last year I called to make an appointment to have a growth removed, I was told that they wouldn't take him back. I received a phone saying he can come back. I made the appointment. Then I received an email cancelling the appointment. They wouldn't see him because they're only seeing patients that has had surgery there. I was told they are overwhelmed. My boy has never needed surgery before. They should've stayed closed.Not the patients fault that they are overwhelmed. Get more help in there.

I love this vet. I’ve come here for years with other pets also through a recommendation from my neighbor. Dr. Dunn is really nice and has a great sense of humor. He truly loves what he does (it shows) and always goes the extra mile. I brought my pup in for a routine exam and I mentioned the knots behind his ear (I have a long haired chihuahua). Dr. Dunn said he would clip the knots behind his ears and took him in the back to do so. Small acts of kindness like this, and the feeling of never being rushed or stressed is appreciated. I work in healthcare so I know good healthcare workers. Anybody who dedicates their lives to caring for animals automatically gets points! :) I also like how the office calls and texts to confirm the appointments so that we do not forget; the friendly reminder is always helpful in today’s busy world. I would highly recommend this vet!
