Pros: They are the cheapest vet I've ever been to, and they will do pretty much any test that you specifically ask for. So if you have done your own research and know exactly what you want done, or if your animal needs something pricey done and you can't afford to go to your regular vet, this is a good bet. Also, the staff (except the vet) are very friendly and accommodating. Cons: Dr. Kumar is a bad doctor, and doesn't seem to try very hard to diagnose problems. We had gone there a few times for blood work and teeth cleaning (pretty basic stuff) a few years ago, and I can't recall having any specific problems (other than a serious lack of bedside manner). But we went with our dog last month to try to figure out why he's gotten so skinny and has growths on his body, and Dr. Kumar came in, said hello, put the dog on the table, listened to his heart (I think), and said "I can do blood tests, it will be $100. Do you want to do that?" We said yes and he left. That was the whole exam. He didn't feel the growths, didn't ask any questions or offer any opinions, didn't do an actual exam. And we didn't realize until later that he never said what type of blood test he wanted to do, or what he was checking for. The call with the results came the next day, and all the receptionist said was "The tests were all normal." When I asked what that might mean, what else we could do, she just said "I don't know. The tests were normal." I would have given them 1 star based on this visit alone, except that they are very cheap, and will perform whatever tests or procedures you ask for. If saving money is crucial and you don't need a diagnosis, they will do. As long as you don't expect the doctor to talk to you at all.
My overall experience was positive. Cat had UTI, they took me as a walk-in on a Fri. Vet and staff were nice.
I just started taking my 2 sphynx rescue cats here and after only 1 visit I am very impressed with the care the staff took with my pets. My cat has had really bad digestion issues for a long time and I took him here for another opinion. I liked the vet techs because for one, the woman did not scruff my cat. At the previous vet, he was scruffed so hard he bled (because he is hairless) but this woman was careful with him and gentle. I didn't even have to ask her to be and I really appreciated that. Dr. Kumar spent almost 45 minutes talking to me about my cat and what his condition could potentially be and was very honest and straight forward with what he was able to do for him there and if I should go further to a specialist. The vet tech Wendy was so kind and gave me her phone number to text her if I had issues with Smeagol "at any hour." As for my other kitty, his ears get dirty very fast. Dr. Kumar said as long as I brought him consistently every 2 weeks they could clean his ears for me as an outpatient service without charging me an office visit fee. As someone who used to work as a vet assistant and has rescued animals my whole life, I could already tell this facility was very caring and not out for making profit but giving good medical care. I thoroughly appreciate the time they took to care about my cats and I will be a loyal client to them from here forward and have already recommended them to my friends!
The best vet I have ever been too, They don't try to push you into a bunch of unneeded tests. Dr Kumar and his staff is absolutely wonderful. On top of all that, the prices are also the best I've seen.
Our mini-eskimo, german shephard, golden retriever & two kitties are our babies. We want ONLY the BEST care for them. Dr. Kumar & his entire staff (Polly, Wendy & all the lovely caregivers) ARE the BEST! Not only do they have a heart for their patients, but they also are AMAZING with their patients' parents!!! We wholeheartedly recommend this WONDERFUL vet to anyone looking for the OPTIMUM care for your furry loved ones!
