I saw the reviews before deciding to try this vet, and I'm glad I made the decision to make an appt. Wait time was normal. I did not walk away with sticker shock. The staff is wonderful and Dr. Krieger is amazing!! she is warm, compassionate and helped me with a very tough visit for my little guy. Unfortunately it was time for my pup to go to heaven. They provided wonderful mementos that were included with the service. it was nice to feel like they weren't trying to upsell during a difficult time. I recommend

Dr Krieger has been nothing but amazing for me and my dog. She is always very thorough every time we have been ensuring that she can help any way she can. Whether it is making sure we can get in for a last minute appointment, making time to be available for any questions or even ensuring quality care for a very affordable price. Very glad she is our neighborhood veterinarian

I'm so lucky to have Dr. Krieger and her staff in my neighborhood. They take such good care of my dog and by extension, me. When problems arise, they are so good at explaining them and finding solutions. And they are excellent at keeping me up to date on her vaccine schedule. Thank you Dr. Krieger and team!

My mother took our family dog to this place because we spotted small tumors in his neck, they did some blood work and x rays on him. A few days later they call back saying that they need to do some more test on him again because they need to know if his cancer is "the good one or the bad one" they kept finding excuses for us to keep on paying for more unnecessary tests on him when the first tests made were enough. Eventually we took our dog to other locations where we told them our experience and they told us "they basically were just trying to get money from us" Today our dog passed away due to his cancer not being treated on time when it was first discovered, all that time they could have treated him when his tumors were small and before it spread all over his body but instead they kept finding ways to take more money from us. AVOID THIS PLACE, THEY ARE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND WILL SCAM YOU!! DON’T TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH YOUR PETS!!! DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE DID.

If I could give this place a zero I would. On April 1st my mother alerted me that my baby boy Calcifer was undergoing a medical emergency. In a panic I told her to rush him over to this vet asap as I was trying to get home as quickly as possible. During the FaceTime call the front desk staff member asked if he had a heart condition and told me that the doctor was doing everything she can. While we were on FaceTime I begged and pleaded for the doctor to try and save him and I was sent a euthanasia consent form that I DID NOT fill out. When my mother was advised to step out of the room she came back moments later and my pet was euthanized by THE DOCTOR WITH THE BROWN HAIR AND AN ACCENT, EDUARDA KRIEGER, WITHOUT MY CONSENT. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PETS HERE!!! MY SON WAS NOT GIVEN A FAIR CHANCE TO LIVE. This vet discards life that is so very dear to all of us, and makes you pay for it. Had there been a better veterinary clinic nearby I would’ve taken him there and perhaps I’d still be here with my baby boy, even if it were just for a few moments.

I have seen Dr Krieger for years, she’s helped me through some challenging times with my two previous cats; they had some serious conditions over their 16 years, both acute and chronic. She went above and beyond to help me make the most difficult decisions about end of life care and euthanasia. She’s an amazingly compassionate and caring human being! I honestly don’t know how vets do it! I’m happy to be back in her care with my new kitty babies😻😻 The office is clean, the staff is friendly and they’re good about providing estimates prior to procedures, sometimes the estimate is a little off, but it IS an ESTIMATE. I see bad reviews about this and feel others may not understand that they may not be able to predict all costs, especially with dentals. Also, having a pet is expensive. Fur babies require annual check ups and sometimes expensive medicine or surgeries just like humans, we humans have health insurance so we don’t see the full cost of healthcare, with pets we see what the actual costs are. If you are not taking your fur baby in annually for a check up and show up out of the blue with something wrong; there’s no record of health, there could be any number of problems and it will likely require many diagnostic tests to determine what exactly is going on, this is going to cost you a lot of money! This is not the vet’s fault. Do yourself a favor and sign up for pet health insurance. You can work this fee into a monthly budget, then when something comes up like a 4K-5K surgery, which it did for both of my previous cats, you don’t have to worry about affording it. You can just do what’s best for the fur babies and not have to think about if it’s worth it, if you can afford it, etc. No one needs a large financial stress on top of the emotional stress of caring for an unwell pet. I learned this lesson too late for one of my cats, after a 5K surgery. You can’t insure them for a pre-existing condition. With one insured and one uninsured, the costs throughout their lives were similar. If I were disciplined enough to put away $200 per month in a cat savings account and not use it for anything else, I could see forgoing insurance. Whatever you do, know that there will be expenses, sometimes very large ones throughout your pets’ life. There are many helpful YouTube videos about how and what to choose pet insurance. We have to take responsibility as pet owners, vets aren’t miracle workers. Unlike doctors, who may not like people, vets love animals and want desperately to help them be well.
