Lovely staff, great vets, they take excellent care of my pets. Recommend making an appointment, as wait times for non emergency walk in can be quite long (4-5 hours). They accept Care Credit, and can fill prescriptions on location.

Brought my new (stray) kitten in for vaccines. Waited about 2 hours as a walk in which was to be expected. Dr Ramirez was great. Exam was done in the room then my pet was taken for bloodwork and vaccines.

I absolutely love this clinic, I am so glad to have found it. Dr.Lara has been great with our pup, and I plan to bring my two cats in as well. I feel like all of staff has been super kind, and has answered any and all questions, and really put me and my husband at ease as new dog owners. An added bonus is the military discount on Tuesday!!! I would definitely recommend Dr.Lara and the clinic as a whole!
