We had a great visit with Dr. Lopez and Tracy for our ill cat. Booked online, we were in and out. The rest of the staff were so nice. That kind of atmosphere makes the angst of these pet visits much easier to get through. The practice is clean and up to date. We can’t say enough except thank you.

I followed Dr. Lopez here from another practice and i am so happy I did. The staff is so wonderful and the techs are gentle with my cats who tend to freak out at the vets. They are easy to schedule with and always follow up in a timely manner. I Love this place and Love Dr. Lopez! Thank you for being so amazing!

Everyone is very pleasant and answered all questions and were very patient. I thought my kittens would “ freak out” but they were handled with such care they were good little boys. Great staff and Dr Lopez was so kind and informative.
