Great veterinary service. We just switched our 2 yorkies to this office. We were clients to the previous vet for over 40 years and we had an emergency situation with one of our dogs and they wouldn't squeeze us in . We called Veterinary wellness center and they said bring her right over and they will take care of her. I can't say enough good things about this place everyone is very kind, friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family.

The wellness center has been my cat, Iris’, primary vet for some time now. Between the places i've been to for her, no one will be better than this clinic. Iris is very fear aggressive and the staff are ultimately amazing with her. They have incredible patience, and with this area a lot of hospitals are money over care. I will always talk highly of the staff here who genuinely care for the animals and have incredible patience. Special thanks to Legend, she is the technician who saw her first and has left the greatest impact for me. She was amazing with my girl despite how hissy and scared she was. The patience with this clinic is their greatest strength in my opinion, and I highly recommend anyone looked for an affordable and worthwhile vet comes here. I can assure you will not regret it. Thank you for giving Iris the best! 💕
