    I took my dog here for years. When I first started taking her there, Dr. VonLubbe was there and he was an awesome doctor. Over the years, he became less and less available for appointments and we began to see his associate Dr. Gonzalez. Dr. Gonzalez is HORRIBLE!! After a few years of severe allergy issues with my poor dog and getting no results I went to a new vet hoping for better results. It was an eye-opening experience. Every time I had asked Dr. Gonzalez for some form of supplement to give my dog to help alleviate her allergies, I was told there was none and that I just needed to bathe her weekly and given a list of dosages for OTC allergy medicines I could give. They gave her cortisone injections on occasion, which helped, but only temporarily. I went in complaining that my dog yelped when I scratched her ears and was told there was nothing wrong with her ears. You can imagine my surprise when the new vet tells me she can give the dog a cortisone injection but needs to have blood work done to verify the liver and kidneys were working properly due to her age and I tell her that they did the blood work at her last annual about a year ago because I was told my dog's liver and kidneys were functioning properly. When the new vet called to get the results of the blood work, they told her they never did anything other than heartworm tests. How was she telling me her liver and kidneys were functioning properly if she never did any tests?! Then the new vet looks in her ears and tells me she has a severe ear infection! AND, she offers me a supplement to help boost her immune system to help prevent the allergic reaction!! I am so thankful I took my dog to another place for a second opinion!! My dog is acting like a puppy again, not scratching, not yelping when I scratch her ears (although we are still treating her for the ear infection as it had to have been there for some time), and even jumping and acting interested in life again. Also, once when I took my second dog in for annual shots, I overhear Dr. Gonzalez telling the tech that this dog has "a lot of issues." Really? He does? He's about two (he was a rescue), born with vision problems and deaf, and is overweight, but she didn't know that yet as she hadn't seen him since he got fat! He doesn't have "a lot of issues"! He's barely not a puppy! I really liked Dr. VonLubbe and the remainder of the staff, other than Dr. Gonzalez, are really great with the dogs, but since Dr. Gonzalez seems to be the primary doctor for this facility and I question her aptitude, I will not be taking any pets there again. Nor would I recommend anyone else to take their pets there.

    This vet is ~~ ok and convenient to my house, but I won't go back. The office staff is friendly enough and the dr provided necessary care. However, her scrubs were dirty and she was sloppy as she walked around the exam room. Decided to give them another try based on the reviews and hope we would meet the Dr. Stefan described below. No luck and this time the place smelled more like a stale kennel than a vet.

    There is a clinic 3 blocks from house....I choose to drive 25 minutes to see Dr. Stefan. He is wonderful, his staff is great and they all know who you are and who your pets are. Besides that the price is always MUCH cheaper than other clinics! We love them and so does our American Bull Dog Lulu!

    I read the reviews on here before even considering to take my percious cat there. He has stopped eating and drinking. Just like everyone else in the world, we love our pets, but can not afford to spend a million dollars on veteranary care. I took him here because the reviews seemed good and they seemed affordable. After a full blood panel which came back fine and an x-ray, the doctor proceeded to tell me that she has "no idea" why his liver is enlarged and I either need to euthanize him or hospitalize. However, hospitalizing him isnt an option because he isn't an easy cat to care for. He isn't easy to care for because you are manhandling his fraglie body!!! The doctors appearance was extremely sloppy. She had no answers and left us with a HUGE bill. She said, see how he does over the weekend and if its not better by Monday come back. HE'S NOT EATING OR DRINKING. He will die before Monday! I'm furious. I am taking him today to another vet, so I requested copies of the X ray that I paid for. They will not release it because they say that it is property of the clinic. DO NOT GO HERE. And if you do, DO NOT SEE the woman doctor. Especially if your pet's life is on the line.

    Very great vet - my husband took our little yorkie there and they were excellent! I cannot begin to explain how difficult it is to move and find a new perfect vet - but I was so fortunate to read the reviews on this site and go over - the reviews were spot on! Great Vet, very caring and understanding! She treated my little girl as if it was her own - you don't know how much that means!
