I have not found a preferred vet since moving to Kansas City. This is the second I have tried…read more Walking in there is a large fish tank, high ceilings and although the furnishings are old, the facility is well maintained and does not smell of animals. The front desk staff was welcoming upon entry and the wait time was not too long. Scheduling the appointment online was an easy process and there were many available openings. We saw Dr. Nickell. I chose her because I thought she would be the most familiar with Frenchies, as she has a boxer. It was apparent that Dr. Nickell had reviewed the uploaded records prior to meeting with us so that was a plus. We went in for a annual wellness exam and updated heartworm and flea preventative prescriptions. I did not like that I did not see any portion of an exam being conducted. Dr. Nickell felt my dog' abdomen, but then took him to the back for his weight and a heartworm test. I did not see her assess his ears, eyes or teeth and she did not comment on anything besides his weight for prescriptions. He had been on a lower dosage, but would have to be moved up as his weight increased a couple pounds. He needed a heartworm test prior to the new prescription. It was $80, which is on the higher end for a heartworm test. I was told I could wait in the waiting room and someone world come out to tell me the results, but no one did. I asked reception on my own. Overall, Dr. Nickell was not very personable and I did not like that I paid for a wellness exam that I did not see and was not discussed.

In my opinion and observation…read more.. So disappointed. After years of loyal patronage, it's painfully obvious this place sold its soul the moment it changed hands. The guy who sold it is now cruising around in his shiny new McLaren, while the rest of us get to enjoy "premium" flea and tick meds with one price in Riverside and a suspiciously cheaper one in Tiffany Springs. Because nothing builds customer trust like location-based price gouging. Prices keep climbing well above market rate, proving they're not in the business of pet care anymore -- just maximum profit extraction. Dr. Sparks should be ashamed. Congrats on helping your predecessor upgrade to supercar status while the clients get the bill. Time to find a vet that hasn't forgotten what integrity looks like. Never again.

This would a charge on top of any exam or grooming fee. With a 3 week lead time, I would hate to have a pet that needed urgent care. They probably won't try to work you in, even though you're an established patient. Yes, there may be 24/7 vet facilities but when you have an established relationship with a vet who knows your pets, that's where you want to go first.

When my…read morebeloved 13.5 yo Cavalier reached his time to cross the Bridge, I called the clinic, explained the circumstances and asked for a home euthanasia referral. In the heartbreaking days following his death, I heard nothing from the clinic. No word, no email, no card, no sympathy, no acknowledgment of his death whatsoever. Even when the clinic contacted me to let me know his ashes were ready to be picked up, there was not a single offer of condolence or even a simple, "I'm sorry." Nothing. Literally with his ashes! The absence of even the most basic expression of sympathy was hurtful and frankly shameful. I would never have expected such indifference from a veterinary clinic, especially one that had cared for my pets for decades. As awful as the indifference to my pet's end of life was, Dr. Benschoter has always been exceptional in caring for my Cavaliers, as have Dr. Tate and Dr. Sam. Makes my experience even more bewildering.

After a stressful and scary weekend where he had bloody diarrhea and vomiting along with continued hives, we finally saw a great vet in an ER who gave us IM steroid and Benadryl to break the cycle and a steroid taper. He said he never gives just Benadryl for hives like what our dog got. In addition, there is no after hours number to call at this clinic- you're completely on your own. We spent $600 to take care of the reaction from a $20 vaccine since this clinic did not have the appropriate knowledge to treat a common reaction.

Then Dr. Tucker picked her up and do believe it might have been love at first sight. He got close to her face, not it the least scared she would bite and talked to her. He told us what needed to be done and got to work. I do believe that we have found us a new vet!!! Wish there were more stars because 5 stars just doesn't seem to be enough.

Recently I even called them last minute on a Friday, and said they could see my dog on Monday. Yet, when I started to describe the symptoms they penciled me in Saturday; which is amazing, especially when I didn't even pursue/demand them immediately seeing my dog. My only thing that I have a hangup on, is with their extreme COVID-19 protocols. You have to sit in your car, while someone comes and gets your dog and they examine them out of your eyesight. Would you let your child be examined by their doctor while you hung out in the car? Other than that, they have treated my pups well. I can't imagine that will change when I'm finally able to get in the door.
