We waited 30 minutes past our appointment time and no one came in to even do her initial vitals and weight. I understand emergencies happen, and people run behind, but my frustration came from the lack of communication. If someone simply let me know there would be a wait, or something was delaying the tech and doctor, I would have understood. After 30 minutes of waiting with no explanation, I told the front desk employee I would be leaving with my cat so she did not have to sit in the cage any longer. She apologized, but did not offer any explanation, or let me know that anyone would be in soon. It is frustrating to book an appointment and not have the service provider show up on time, especially when a pet is stressed about being there.

Excitement takes over the moment we pull up; my little boy actually leaps out of the car and races for the front door, eager for the warm attention he always receives.

Luca genuinely thinks it is playtime while Dr. Katie expertly examines him through interaction and play.

Over the course of my lifetime, spanning seven beloved dogs over the past 30 years, I struggled to find the perfect veterinarian--moving from practice to practice until, over 20 years ago, I was lucky that I found Dr. Hambright and his practice. Dr. Hambright has far exceeded every expectation I ever had for "the perfect veterinarian." His unparalleled knowledge and compassionate bedside manner have been a source of comfort and trust for both me and my pets. It is difficult to imagine finding another veterinarian who matches his expertise, earns my trust so completely, and whose practice embodies such excellence. While I wish Dr. Hambright a well-deserved and joyful retirement, his absence will be deeply felt by all who have had the privilege of knowing and relying on him. He is truly a gem in his field, and his friendly demeanor and exceptional care will be sorely missed. Thank you, Dr. Hambright, for over two decades of outstanding service and dedication. Your impact on the lives of so many--both human and canine--has been immeasurable. I am forever grateful. Enjoy your retirement with good fortune, happiness, and good health.

This clinic can't give a rough estimate for what a spay/neuter costs…read more.. Vets are starting to feel like mechanic shops. I've started calling around to get an idea for what the average or 'range' of either procedure is. When talking to the clinic rep, they said the vet 'prefers' developing a closer relationship with the animals first (paraphrasing) before they can tell me what it might cost. So they'd need a check-up despite having gotten one the week before. Really? A healthy young cat in need of spay/neuter is between 5-12 lbs. depending on the sex. You'd think after doing a few hundred--or a few thousand--such procedures that a vet clinic would get a 'feel' for what the average cost is. A previous vet elsewhere charged me $150 to do a check-up on my cats--basically weigh them and stick a thermometer in their rectums--before his assistant could tell me it was upwards of $480 for a boy and $920 for a girl. How do I as a customer trust this vet or any other when they can't give an average? Btw, anyone wonder why there are so many strays and litters of puppies and kittens in need of a good home? Look no further.

Best 24-hour animal hospital I've found so far…read more The front desk staff were excellent, especially when you're arriving in a panic during the middle of the night. My mom and I rushed in with her cat after she thought he might have had a stroke. The staff quickly spoke with us at check-in and explained the process: they would take him to the back exam area first to evaluate him. If he was stable, they said the wait time to see the doctor would likely be around three hours. We were taken to a room shortly after arriving and ended up waiting about three hours before seeing the doctor. Since we were waiting that long, we assumed he had been determined to be stable, which helped ease our minds a bit. The staff did offer us something to drink, and the front entrance being locked at night definitely makes the place feel safer during late hours. One small improvement I would suggest is checking in periodically with people waiting in rooms, especially during longer waits like ours. Even a quick update after an hour or two would go a long way in helping anxious pet owners feel reassured. Another tip for visitors: keep your exam room door closed if possible. We left ours open because we were seated right across from the exam area, but we could hear several emotional moments from other pet owners, which made an already stressful situation feel even heavier. While waiting, I looked up some of our cat's symptoms and saw that they could align with feline vestibular syndrome (cat vertigo), especially since he had received flea medication about a month earlier. Reading about that possibility helped calm us down while we waited. When the doctor came in after about the three-hour mark, they diagnosed him with cat vertigo, which was a huge relief compared to what we initially feared. They also mentioned hearing a possible heart murmur and recommended a dental cleaning along with follow-ups with a feline cardiologist and neurologist for additional peace of mind. They offered a head scan for about $1200, but because of the potential heart murmur they explained it might not be ideal to do under anesthesia and could produce limited results. We ultimately declined the additional treatments and paid the diagnostic exam fee for $200 something and took him home. The next day, my mom followed up with her regular vet, who didn't detect a heart murmur. They hypothesized it may have been stress from the situation. Overall, despite the long wait, we were happy with the visit and grateful they were there when we needed emergency care. Finding a reliable 24-hour animal hospital can be difficult, and this one handled a stressful situation with professionalism and compassion.
