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!

My female cockatiel was very sick with an egg binding infection and metal poisoning. I felt that she was on her last leg and was so distraught. The bird vet there and the staff was so understanding and really put my cockatiel Feathers first. They saved her life and only charged me for the fluids and were so positive. My Feathers is still with us today and she is going strong!!! Thank you so much! I trust all my parrots to TLC.. the title means what it says!!!

My cat has a broken jaw, I had taking him to his regular vet but they ended referring us to TLC hospital. We will switch to the new vet hospital. They’re very professional and knowledgeable

I brought my dog in because he was lethargic, had difficulty walking, loss of appetite and would no longer participate in normal activities. After the excellent staff and vet evaluated him we we told what the problem was in detail that was easy to understand. We we given medication to give at home. The next morning he actually walked out of the bedroom surprising all of us. The cost was a little high but what isn’t nowadays. I highly recommend this location.

Our cat was attacked by a dog during the night, and we called right at 8 a.m. There were no appointments left, but we were allowed to come in anyway. We waited two hours—which was perfectly fine given that we didn't have an appointment! The veterinary nurses were very nice, and the vet was truly lovely and really understood our cat. She examined him thoroughly and didn't try to push any unnecessary services on us! She also gave us tips for his anxiety and reminded us about his vaccinations. The price was absolutely reasonable! I’m glad to have found a good vet!

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.
