Banfield Pet Hospital at a glance

Reviewers highlight the clinic's professional staff, thorough veterinary care, and fair pricing for wellness plans and routine services. Positive feedback often mentions attentive communication and compassionate handling of pets during exams and grooming. However, lower-rated reviews cite significant issues with long wait times, poor scheduling adherence, and unexpected cost increases for procedures. Some customers also reported difficulties with billing transparency and a lack of communication regarding treatment outcomes or insurance coverage.

40 minutes waiting to get in for my appointment, the girl that came in 12 minutes behind me was taken first. Absolutely beautiful day and I'm sitting in the office and no one could tell me anything with three people sitting behind the desk.

I choose Banfield of Aurora over any other pet clinic. I have experienced their professional staff for at least 4-5 years now. I feel comfortable with the clinic. My pet was in for his annual immunizations.

I know my furbabies are in the best hands with Dr. Beech. Always thorough and explain all options. She will catch things other vets don't. Pricing is always fair, and I actually have price checked bc vet bills can be a whammy.
