What recent reviews say

Staff move fast and show genuine care during frightening moments. Vets explain findings clearly, run diagnostics same-day, and follow up through treatment. One serious incident where a vet's poor handling of an injection caused a kitten pain and lasting fear, though techs and front desk staff were described as warm throughout. Billing has confused a few customers, but most report fair pricing for emergency work.

Their facility lists board-certified specialists across cardiology, surgery, oncology, neurology, and other areas. Dr. Pearlman, Dr. Gale, and an unnamed cardiologist appear in reviews. Staff keep overnight patients engaged and provide detailed discharge instructions. Open 24 hours.

Common questions

Are you open after hours?
Yes, they are open 24 hours.
How long will I wait to see a doctor?
Multiple reviews report no wait time or immediate triage, though one busy night with a porcupine quill case required patience. Call ahead for real-time status.
Will the vet explain my bill before I'm charged?
One review reports being told a visit would be charged to a deposit, then a surprise full charge appeared. Ask the front desk to clarify billing structure upfront.

Goodheart Lowry earns consistent five-star reviews for a caring approach that sets them apart.

Staff greet nervous dogs with patience and treats, creating calm experiences that rival or exceed past vet visits for many reviewers. Owners praise the clean modern facility, transparent pricing, and genuine follow-up care. A welcome bottle of wine for new clients and free toys reflect an unusual attention to the human side of veterinary visits.

Rising Sun delivers caring, thorough care that most clients find worth the drive to Lowry. Reviewers regularly praise the vets (Dr. Asman, Dr. King, Dr. Miller named) for genuine attentiveness and pricing that undercuts corporate chains. However, recent complaints about conflicting vet advice, pharmacy mix-ups, and a phone system that forces 15-minute holds suggest they may be stretched thin as patient volume grows.

Home visits work well for pets that resist car travel, and reviewers praise Dr. Jasmine and Dr. Wolcott for being calm and gentle with anxious animals. Older complaints about slow responses to phone and email calls raise questions about current reliability.
