The day after we brought the kitten home, she developed diarrhea. I called to schedule an appointment, but they didn't have any "new pet" (one-hour) appointments available for over a week. I booked the earliest one, but asked if they could at least order a fecal test in the meantime. They said no. Instead, I was told to call the next morning to try for a same-day appointment, where a vet could then order the test. I called right at 7:30 am and was able to book a same-day 30-minute appointment for 10:30 am. Problem solved, or so I thought. Minutes later, they called back and canceled it. The reason: my kitten hadn't been seen before, so she required a one-hour appointment, which they didn't have available for a week!!! I explained that this was a stray kitten with active diarrhea and asked if she could at least be briefly seen, or if I could simply pay for a fecal test and treatment. They said that wasn't possible. Then they said they spoke to the vet, who would try to fit me in that same day but couldn't give a time. The vet had approved a 30-minute visit, so I rearranged my day and worked from home to wait for their call. At 10:23 am, they called back and told me they actually had no availability that day at all--and that I'd have to wait a week. Their only suggestion was to call again the next morning and try for another same-day appointment. At that point, it felt like a nightmare on repeat!

Always great! If you need same day appointments call as soon as they open. We bring of our pups…read morehere

"We treat your pets as if they were our own!"…read more Our dog is officially labeled an "escape artist." That's because she is clever and will slip her leash if you give her an opportunity. Nowadays, the staff is wise to her tricky ways. We've been coming here for years, for multiple pets. The care has always been outstanding. They can walk your dog, and also give your dog treats. The boarding also includes a free bath before you pick Fido up. Today, the staff was taking Christmas photos of the dogs. It's just like when you go with your child to visit Santa, except it's a dog instead of a child. And there's really no Santa either. But you get the idea. If you're looking for a place that is dedicated to taking good care of the fido, this is the place.

I brought my sweet kitty cat boy Ezri in after noticing signs of a possible urinary issue. Booking…read morethe appointment was incredibly easy. No phone call, no waiting on hold, just a few clicks on the website and we were set. When I arrived a little early, I figured we'd be waiting a while, but they brought us in right away. Miranda, the nurse who first saw us, was kind and gentle with Ezri, and her calm energy helped ease my nerves. Then I met Dr. Mason, who was just as kind. She listened carefully, addressed all of my concerns, and explained everything in a clear and respectful way. I never felt rushed or talked down to, which is something I really appreciate. Some tests were run, and once the results were ready, Dr. Mason personally called to go over them with me. She was just as thoughtful and patient over the phone, making sure I understood everything and felt confident in the next steps. I'm extremely satisfied with the care we received. Everyone was compassionate, professional, and genuinely seemed to care about my boy. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here or recommend them to anyone who loves their pet like family.

I've been waiting to do this review for a long time. It's been a year since my dog passed. And…read moreit's been very difficult to cope with. I didn't have the emotional strength to relive my experience. I still mourn him. Before his first assessment for treatment, knew my dog had a heart murmur. But because he was fine and showed no serious symptoms, I prolonged taking him to the vet. The time I decided to do so, i would travel one hour to this vet because I wanted him to have the best care and so I thought. On his first visit, they kept him for a few hours to do tests. When I got him back he was not the same. He all of a sudden to started to have fainting symptoms daily. He would collapse to the floor. I would rush him outside for first aid and sometimes give him mouth to mouth. It was scary. From that day forward his health went progressively down as he grew weaker and weaker. And the bills just got bigger and bigger. ImI was expected to take him every six months for sonogram (different location), x ray and bloodwork. I would joke and say I'm going to rename him Louie because that's what he's costing me. A LV bag every time. I love my dog dearly and wanted to do whatever I could to keep him going. But I couldn't help to think, did they do something to my dog sicker for profits? I know I can't make that claim unless I have proof. All I know is how sick he got after that first visit. On my last assessment, I told them I can't afford another x ray and sonogram (VEG). Just the bloodwork. So they did what they did and sent him out. There was no consultation of the findings which I thought was weird. I traveled an hour to bring him to this place, have spent thousands of dollars and that's it? He died two months later. I have to write this in case anyone has had the same experience. I don't want to be told you should have did this or that. Or maybe this and that. It's too late. I just wanted to share my experience in case someone has had the same. That's all.

When the time comes to say goodbye to a beloved pet, it's one of the hardest decisions you'll ever…read morehave to make. Our sweet girl's health declined very suddenly...she couldn't sleep, was struggling to breathe, and her heart was failing. We were faced with the difficult choice of going to a vet clinic or finding an in-home euthanasia service. We found Heaven from Home and reached out to Dr. Wensing. Although she was initially fully booked, she took the time to speak with us and even recommended other in-home services to try. Unfortunately, none had availability, and we were preparing ourselves for a traditional vet visit...something we knew would cause our already fragile girl a lot of anxiety. Then, Dr. Wensing called back. She had a cancellation and could come that same day. It truly felt like a blessing. She arrived with such compassion and calm presence, and because of her, our girl was able to pass peacefully in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by her family. It meant everything to us to give her that kind of goodbye. We could not have asked for a more caring, professional, and humane experience during one of the most heartbreaking moments of our lives. If you are facing a similar situation, I cannot recommend Dr. Wensing and Heaven from Home enough. We are forever grateful for the kindness and dignity she gave our beloved companion in her final moments.

I would give her 1000 stars if I could…read more I have never lost a pet before, and had no idea what to expect. I'm used to medical/veterinary staff being hurried and brusque, but Dr. Wensing was anything but. She's set the bar so stratospherically high here I don't think anyone will ever come close. She responded within a few minutes, was able to come out on a weekend, same day short notice, and offered multiple times to find what would work best. It was important to me that we were able to find a time where everyone could be present. My girls Kaylee and Gabby liked her immediately. She clearly has a gift with animals. She walked us through what the process would be like, answered all of our questions, and made us feel confident that we were doing what was best. She was gentle, calming, and patient, and made sure we knew what was happening every step of the way, giving us as much time as we needed when we needed it. When it was time for her to leave, she left us with the kindest words and warm hugs, as though she were a long-time friend. She clearly has a gift with people, too. On one of my worst days of my life, she brought such compassion, consideration, professionalism, care, warmth, and peace into my home that it seemed superhuman. I don't believe in angels, but if I did, she'd be one of them. Kaylee's sister Gabby is still with us, and I hope she still has a good number of years ahead, but Dr. Wensing will be the first person I call when the time comes. I'm not sure I can give a higher recommendation than that.

We love it here! It's in a shopping center with a big parking lot, so there's ample of parking. Even has a Tesla Super Charge in the parking lot, so I was able to charge while my dog had her visit. Hazel, my golden doodle, just got done with her annual visit with Dr. Keri Smyrni and she's the best veterinarian ever! She's so personable and knowledgeable. She does a nice thorough exam on Hazel each year. I enjoy talking to her a lot. I can just tell she's a good person! I remember last year when hazel had a dew claw problem, Dr. Keri was very attentive and answered all my worrisome questions. The receptionists are always so pleasant. The two vet techs or nurses? that gave Hazel all her annual shots were so loving today. Giving Hazel extra pets and love. I think their names were Jenny and Nicole? Every time we come here, each staff has been very professional and kind.

I am a foster for 21 years and it's still very hard when I have a kitten that suddenly declines rapidly.

His practice partner, Dr Meredith, who is super sharp and kind, updated me on Mia's results and steps moving forward. Mia has recovered well from her UTI. I have MetLife pet insurance, and Dr Venkhat's office has always provided me prompt copies of the documents I need to submit for insurance reimbursement. They aren't in network directly with any outside pet insurance, but they do have some of their own plans, including a wellness plan that looks like it actually is a better deal than MetLife's.

The office staff always coddles and spoils my fur baby, and Dr Venkhat's expert skills as a vet make me reassured that Mia is in good hands when she's not feeling well!
