Positive Experiences
Many reviewers praised the hospital's staff, describing them as friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. Several reviewers mentioned that the doctors, including Dr. Pegelow, Dr. Servito, and Dr. Sparks, were compassionate and went above and beyond to care for their pets. The staff's responsiveness, follow-up calls, and explanations of treatment options were also appreciated.
Negative Experiences
A few reviewers reported negative experiences, including poor communication, a lack of concern for their pet's well-being, and a perceived lack of expertise. One reviewer, Courtney Einhorn, shared a tragic experience where her cat died during an examination, and she criticized the hospital's handling of the situation.
Areas for Improvement
Some reviewers mentioned areas for improvement, such as the high cost of services and the need for more consistent care from all doctors. One reviewer, Yvonne Bryant, felt that her concerns were ignored, and her dog's condition worsened after visiting the hospital.
Staff Consistency
A few reviewers mentioned that they had seen different doctors and technicians each time they visited, which made it difficult to build a rapport with the staff and feel confident in their pet's care.
