Basically, this place is about making money, not about helping sick animals. I spent a fortune even though I got nowhere. It is like a walk-in clinic, you get a band-aid fix, and you pay through the nose. I guess it is good in the middle of the night if you need some help, but the animal emergency clinic down the street is just little better. However, both tried to make as much money off me as possible when, looking back, my cat would not have survived anyway. Sad how there are no caring Vets anymore. All I can say from my experience is buy pet insurance and don't feed your cat commercial

They then told us we need a specialist to look at the x-rays to give us a proper diagnosis for another $300!!! Then after waiting for 2 hours, they come back and tell us there's no signs of this, and that there still isn't a firm reading and said we need to do an CT Scan,
