"I had scheduled an appointment for my dog and had spent quite a bit of time on the phone with both a receptionist and tech describing his issues and needs. Unfortunately right before my appointment I was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital where I spent several days and was unable to reach out. I was then sent home in pain prior to having surgery. When I called to let them know what it happened and apologize profusely I was first strung along by the person I spoke to first who said oh sure I understand. Let me speak with the doctor in the morning and I’ll call you first thing I never received a call. When I called later that afternoon, the woman I spoke to was so disgusting. I couldn’t believe it. I feel terrible for missing the appointment however, I did not have control over my hospitalization. She nastily said sorry we won’t be seeing your dog."

"My dog has been suffering from anxiety since last December. Long story short - my wife and I had a baby and then moved. When Seth was born, Oscar (my Beagle) didn't get the attention he was used to. Every time it thunderstorms, Oscar shakes, drools, and hyperventilates. I'd wrap a towel around him and hold him for hours. I was hopeful it would go away on its own or get better over time. I found VCA on Google based on the reviews, location, time availability, and the fact they accept Care Credit. Dr. Freedman lit up when he saw Oscar! Come to find out, he loves Beagles. Dr. Freedman was really great - he spent valuable time with Oscar, and once he checked him over, Oscar was diagnosed with anxiety. No surprise there! But based on his age and ability to get around, Oscar doesn't have anything wrong with his legs. Freedman answered all my questions and told me a few things I wasn't aware of before. He prescribed Oscar two medications for his anxiety and gave him two shots - rabies and distemper. Oscar can be a big baby, but he's always my baby. VCA accepted a $20 coupon online for first-time customers, which was really cool, and the service from the vet (Freedman) felt genuine...so I'll definitely bring Oscar back when he needs to be seen again (I just wish they were a little bit closer). Thanks, guys! :)"

"The absolute BEST veterinarians and vet techs/assistants you can find. They are always courteous and kind and a wealth of knowledge. My fur kids are always seen on time and are handled with tons of TLC. I can’t imagine taking my animals anywhere else. I have complete confidence in the care they provide. The peace of mind I have bringing my pets here has kept me returning for over 14 years. Thank you Dr. Freedman and your amazing assistants! You are appreciated beyond measure."
