Enjoyed working with Dr. McBride and her team. They were very interested in caring for my dog and understanding his personality which is what they labeled as "ultra spicy"

Love this place! Back in July, I brought in a sick puppy I rescued and they took us in right away! They called and kept checking in on us. Went back in just last week for a nail trim and they remembered him! Bressi has the sweetest staff and vets! We bring all our pets here now and recommend this pet hospital to our family and friends

took great care of our dog Leo
- Price assessment: Great price
This place is amazing! Specially if you have a reactive dog. The staff here is very professional, kind and well equipped to handle dog behaviors. I have been super impressed by how they have handled my little girl. She can certainly be a handful.

They are great!
We had the best experience with Dr. Lax! He is extremely knowledgeable, direct, and caring. Our corgi had an urgent issue this week, and they were able to see her right away. The entire team took great care of her and made us feel like she was in good hands. We would highly recommend Dr. Lax and his team!
- Price assessment: Reasonable price
