What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently praise Dr. Lori and Dr. Scott's expertise and kindness over years of loyalty. Pets relax during exams, and staff treat owners and animals like family. The trade-off is a long wait: new patient slots fill months out, and the clinic cannot absorb walk-in emergencies.

For small animals, expect calm, thorough care from a solo practitioner with a full schedule. Large animal owners benefit from Dr. Scott's direct equine experience. Families and seniors with established pets thrive here; those needing prompt appointments or emergency admission elsewhere.

One reviewer called the vet caring; another reported rude staff with no compassion for animals. Limited review evidence makes experience hard to predict.

Staff take time with nervous animals, earning their trust over repeat visits rather than rushing appointments. Veterinarians explain care thoughtfully and use fear-free practices. Pricing is clear and often lower than other clinics, with payment plan options available.

4.1(330)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Loyal customers praise the clinic's affordability and Dr. Sebunya's attentiveness, with some reporting 15+ years of care. However, recent reviews reveal serious gaps: delayed test result communication that allowed a cat's kidney failure to go undiagnosed, unclear consent for costly second anesthesia rounds, and staff accessibility issues. The 4.1 rating masks a stark split between five-star veterans and one-star recent patients citing miscommunication and changed service quality.
