    This business has terrible reviews on Google, and from those reviews alone, has cost animal's lives. Luckily my experience wasn't as bad. They wouldn't let me go into the building with my pet, kept me in a parking lot alone at night for three hours, didn't even examine my cat, and tried to force me to pay at minimum a thousand dollars for medication and antibiotics for something they haven't even tested her for. If I had listened to them, I would have given my cat medication that would have killed her or made her even more sick, because they wanted to medicate her for disease when she was just constipated. There was only one person staffing the entire building, and I didn't see the vet at all. At the beginning of the 'appointment' they took my drivers license and credit card and wouldn't give them back to me until I demanded that I have them returned along with my cat. They also made me wait an hour to get my cat back when I was there alone.
