I’m disappointed in the service and lack of compassion I got for my fur baby. My pet was seizing and whining, all they offered were useless tests that had no solution but they kept racking up our bill with no plan in sight. Once 5p came around it was a “okay, we’re closing so you have to go, bye have a nice day.”…

I took my 16yo bestie for baby to have a quality of life check up, because I want able to make that call on my own. The were so compassionate and caring with both me and my fur baby. Of course it was the most difficult thing, but they offered a private room and gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye.

My first and only experience so far with MVC was when Bella needed urgent care on a Friday evening. The ENTIRE staff was so caring, not only for Bella, but for us as well. Dr Brahm was very thorough and let us know all of our options. I wish I could remember the names of the nursing staff and the kind woman at the front desk to give them a shout out as well. Unfortunately, we lost Bella early morning the following Sunday. She was a rescue that we were able to love and be loved by her for 13 years! It was helpful to have an understanding of what her body was doing. Not only explained, but having printouts available to read when less emotional. When they called to check in on Sunday afternoon, they were genuinely sorry for our loss. Grateful for these kind humans that care for all our fur babies.

Once 5p came around it was a “okay, we’re closing so you have to go, bye have a nice day.”
We went to another vet and got way more comfort and compassion. Our dog was sedated and we talked over options with a caring team.
You guys need to make changes in customer service or maybe get more compassionate doctor.

Mission Veterinary Clinic has exceeded my expectations. My dog is highly excitable and does not do well with other dogs. They understand his issues, they know how to work with him and that helps me tremendously! I highly recommend them!
