Paid $1000 for 6 stitches for my rabbit. My groomer accidentally nicked my rabbit during her groom. She was left with a 3-inch open wound on her stomach. Since it was a Saturday, I called 11 vets until I could find one that would take her. Walker's Line took her within an hour which I was pleased about. After a quick exam, the vet told me that my bunny needed stitches, which I had anticipated. What I did not anticipate was being handed a $1000 vet bill for a $300 service. I expressed my concerns about the price and the only thing that was offered to me was to forgo the stitches and only pay

All the staff here are amazing! Melissa is incredibly genuine and you can tell she cares. She always takes the time to look into questions she might not know right away and always calls you back. She makes both our cats feel comfortable at every visit.

Was given a price for a bag of dog food over the phone. Came to pick up - the price was more than 40$ higher that what I was told. Wish I wouldn't be mislead.

I had to find a vet who cared for small animals as I was babysitting my daughters hamster, Beans. The Dr and the staff were so kind and took their time explaining everything to me. They took great care of Beans and even called the next day to see how she was doing. I am super impressed!! Thank you for caring about our furry children as much as we do
I highly recommend this Animal Hospital!

This is by far the the best vet clinic in the area. The doctors are great and the reception staff are just fantastic. Not only will they provide excellent care, they know me and my kitties by name, and they call after visits to follow up on my kitties health. They go above and beyond. Highly recommended.
