Dr. Lee has seen my dogs for years. We love him and always appreciate the care he gives. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about Dr. Paula Lee. Because of her attitude, and (some of) the staff, we won't be returning with future pets.
Price assessment: Reasonable price

I usually go here to receive treatment that my regular clinic cannot provide. My dog needed an allergy shot that she has received from this vet before. They did not tell me until i was checking out that to even book the appointment was 80 dollars. This has never happened any other time i’ve been to this place. The total came to be 200 dollars to receive a singular shot that my dog has had before. It is absolutely ridiculous to not discuss pricing and services until the last minute especially when you are going to charge me 80 dollars for simply booking an appointment when that has NEVER been charged to me before. I’m disappointed and won’t be coming back.

Dr. Lee and his staff are amazing to work with! They care about our babies and go above and beyond to help when needed. Buster and Bailey love going to see their doctor friends.

My dog was feeling bad, she had a huge bump under her eye. I was concerned and wanted her seen. My regular vet wanted to charge me a $75 emergency fee to see her, otherwise I had to wait 6 days for a appointment. I called here a was over joy that she could be see same day without extra charges. Everyone was so kind and I didn't have a long wait. These vets still care about our pets, not how much money they can take you for. The will be seeing me again.

My dog was spayed at this location. The surgery was quick and they were kind and answered all of my questions, if abruptly. They do not send a cone home with you. The procedure was around $300, and we didn’t even get a plastic cone. I had to order one because there were none available in the area. I stayed up the entire first night having to watch to make sure she couldn’t lick the stitches. Very stressful experience that could have been avoided with simple supplies. They also forgot to give us her pain medication I had to go back and ask for it.
