Kind staff, getting a day of appointment was easy and efficient. You have a large staff, to me this implies that care > priority over cut corners. Check in, check out, tech, Dr. All efficient interactions with separate staff.

Manzano Animal Clinic

I thought I made an appointment for my dog but when I got there they told there was no appointment made. But they were kind enough to squeeze my Bootsy in. Now that's what you call service. Thank you Manzano Animal Clinic especially the veterinarian who examine my Bootsy with tender loving care. Keep up the great love for animals.
