Why do you need an appointment?

Time is one of the most important elements to a person – so by scheduling an appointment, it helps cut down your wait time and your appointment time.

It also tends to be less expensive if you call and schedule an appointment – as instead of a $85 exam fee, there is a $135 exam fee for walk-ins/urgent care/emergencies. Walk-ins, urgent care cases, and/or emergencies are taken as our schedule allows. We are not an urgent care clinic or an emergency room.

Appointments are always a good idea, especially when it comes to the availability of our veterinarians. If the veterinarian is out of the office and you tried walking in, you now have wasted time traveling to the clinic – when you could have called ahead. We also perform surgeries on Mondays through Thursdays, where often times our veterinarians are in surgery from 9am to 5pm – where they are unable to see any appointments. It is also not guaranteed how many doctors we have on staff at a time.

Appointments are designed with you in mind. By scheduling an appointment, we know we have time set aside to see you and your pet (please keep in mind – emergencies happen, life happens, which can sometimes cause things to run a little behind.)
