I was quite shaken by the event but the staff at Mission were amazing and helped calm me down. They provided frequent updates, offered me water, and explained everything well. After I left, they called to tell me I forgot a prescription. Rather than making me drive back, one of the staff offered to meet me closer to my home to give me the prescription. They also called the following day to see how my dog was doing. What a great experience for such a bad situation! Thank you!!

We'd been to mission once before - during COVID. We had to drop her off in the morning and pick her up in the late afternoon. Now we were able to wait. Makes it somewhat easier since she's not left in a kennel to wait. I'm sure it alleviates the stress a little. The staff was helpful & after the echo the vet came in and thoroughly went over the preliminary test results. Although we are in healthcare(the vet didn't know) and had a good grasp of what was going on she was informative and talked to us in basic, easy to understand terms with everyday examples to illustrate her point. This attitude is really helpful for people who are overwhelmed but medical jargon. Helpful for us and definitely for the person who doesn't understand medicalese.

Alicia heard and witnessed Breanna's rudeness and I have to admit, a staff member barging into a room (without knocking) and aggressively confronting a client (rather than going to his/her supervisor) took my breath away when I had simply asked her name. Amazing that Daniel allows this type of behavior from an employee who threatened to quit repeatedly. IF this was a "vendetta" review Daniel, I would post about Scout. Leave it.

We lost track of her…read morewhen she left Northview and started seeing Dr. Romero, then when she left Northview, we started seeing Dr. Aguirre. Through a mutual friend, I was able to find Dr. Pauly again at BCAC and am so happy with the care my dogs get from her. She's now the medical director and doesn't do a full schedule of pet exams, but always gets my dogs on her calendar when we need her. In the few instances we needed immediate care, Dr. Aguirre (who is now here too!) has stepped right in. We are so happy to have this great team of caring vets and techs taking care of our pets. Huge shout out to Ketty who is hands down my favorite tech and makes me feel less stress when I need to leave my pets for a procedure. **To fully illustrate how much I love this practice, let me just say I live on the east coast for most of the year, but I still come back for vet care (obviously we have vets in our other locations, but this is our primary). It's worth the 27 hour drive. I'm sad to hear some recent reviewers have had a less than great experience and recommend they try to get in with Dr. Aguirre and/or ask for Ketty to be their tech. It will change the whole experience, guaranteed. Also, the ratings on Google are much more recent so check those out if you want current opinions.

They led us to a good sized room that had a tiny throw rug that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years, and brought the dog in and put him on it. They had completely paralyzed him and didn't even give him any happy drugs. Then they had problems with the final drug. The only thing he could do was move his eyes and look straight into my eyes to let me know how he felt. I have to live with that memory. It comes back to me every time I think about him. Thus, why I finally decided I needed to write this review.

After calling 4 different clinics for an estimate (something my dad taught me as a young girl to get at least three estimates). Kokopelli was by far the most reasonable estimate. I was able to get in the same day as Porcupine quills can cause a lot of problems if not removed. Chase received a wellness exam, rabies vaccine and removal of the Porcupine quills all for under $145. I now consider Kokopelli Animal Clinic my new provider for both Chase and my 14-year-old dog Drake. I cannot say enougho about Kokopell Animal CLINIC and I recommend it for your fur babies.

We were shown an exam room where the veterinarian confirmed our fear. The explanation of the procedure and emphasis on Bow's comfort was highly prioritized by staff. I thought that we would leave with a $500+ bill, but this pet clinic evaluated Bow based on the history we provided, his age, weight, symptoms, and joint health without running frivolous labs or xrays. I really appreciated the time they allowed us at the end and the options we were given for his remains. I highly recommend this clinic and staff. The staff sent us a sympathy card signed by staff with a paw print of our Bow. Thank you Kokopelli for caring for pets and their himans the way you do!

When they came back with the cost $835+ for 4 X-rays read by a radiologist! They really embellish the costs when I just want to rule out pad grit vs corn. I don't know why they charge for "medical waste" when there was none. If that's what they charge with the exam they should just include it in the exam. I don't like being price-gouged for multiple X-rays when it's not necessary. And the "medical waste" which is automatically included is a joke. There was none. Be sure and tell your corporate owners about this! I will not be returning.
