Took my rabbit, no appt was needed. This is a very busy place. We had to wait but time went by fast as there were so many clients taking their pets. So you lose track of time seeing all these different pets being brought in. Big dogs, small dogs and no fighting amongst them. Animals seem to behave and have better manners than us humans, because no matter the breed they seemed to respect their space. There was plenty of room plenty of seating and very nicely divided so you don't feel crowded. Both humans and pets have their space. They were efficient in taking care of my rabbit Hope. Explained everything in human terms so I understood. Will be taking Hope back and taking ThumPeu in for a checkup as well. Thank for you to the Drs and personal for dedicating yourselves to this profession. We need people like you.

I took my dog Pancho to TLC last year for a rattlesnake bite and yesterday I had my dog Sophie spayed. They are super-kind and compassionate to animals and the vets and staff are 1st class. If you come in as a walk-in there could be a wait since they are often busy but that's understandable.

Excellent, a little expensive but worth it. Our baby Scrappy was given the best care possible with the staff and Dr. Lara and X-ray tech.

I brought my 17 year old Chihuahua "Clair" in after I accidentally stepped on her. I was incredibly worried, but Dr Lara thoroughly examined her and confirmed that nothing was broken. Even though everything looked good on the initial exam, my dog kept limping. Dr Lara recommended a course of laser therapy, which worked wonders. He stated she needed time because she was like a 90 year old lady. Kudos to Christian, Vivian, Diego, and Mario the veterinary technicians who took her back who were incredibly caring, gentle and kept her safe. Thanks to Dr Lara smart recommendations and the wonderful staff my Clair is better. If you want a vet clinic that truly cares about your pet, this is the place!!

Today I woke up to an emergency for my little kitty. I drove as fast as I could but the lights kept me from rushing. I finally made it to TLC and we ran in holding my baby who was having problems breathing. We told the staff to please help my baby and the staff rushed and took my baby to the back. I want to thank you for that. After 3 minutes we got taken into a room and Dr. Garcia came in and told us the news that no pet parent wants to hear or ever are ready to hear. She was caring and very compassionate. My daughter and I made the hardest decision but we did it out of love. We spent a small amount of time with our kitty, our baby. He was suffering that's why we didn't spend a lot of time with him. We told him how much he was loved and we said our good byes. Dr. Garcia came in and she put our baby to sleep. Thank you so much all that you did and for caring so much. Thank you to the vet tech who walked us out to the side and who also showed us that he cared and offering us comfort. Thank you all.

Dr. Priscilla Rubio performed life saving surgery on my dog last summer and he has been living his best life since then. I received the best patient care from her and her team. I am forever grateful for her knowledge and skills!
