2nd UPDATE: The vet is regularly late to his morning appointments. I recommend making an apt around noon if you want to be seen at your actual apt time. Also, the visit price has gone up to $75 now. They also only offer 1 year rabies vaccines so you HAVE to visit annually. Also, my brother moved in with his cat he began taking him here. His cat has had lots of health issues & was very old… he began having some seizures & negative changes in behavior… so I tried to have the “end of life” talk with the vet. Just talking to learn more about options - but the vet said he was just fine (with meds) & brushed it off. He died 3 months later in a very hard way for my brother… I wish the vet had listened to me and actually talked through options. ———————————— UPDATE: They are still a good practice… but they do take a while to see you. Takes about 2+ hours per visit… ———————————— This place is pretty good! I have 2 cats and had previously been seeing another vet -- 1 of my cats was breaking out in scabs and I had been told it was allergies. The original vet would not continue to prescribe my cat's medication without an allergy test and only referred me to 1 place where it would cost about $1,000 and I'd have to wait a couple months... So I tried this place -- thank god!! They were able to give her an allergy test here AND see her / do it within the month! It ended up being $465. Also, this vet FINALLY explained why the other vets were hesitant to give my cat the allergy pills -- because they were suppressing her immune system. I really appreciate that this vet has communicated clearly with me and takes good care of my cats! Although I will admit, he can be a bit curt with me and does seem to move fairly quickly through the appointment... he takes care of my cats! & For just the regular / annual office visit, they charge just $56 per each cat. Very happy with that! Other people have made comments about their prices being high, but I've found them to be better than most other places!

Have been coming here since having my Cavapoo in 2023. The attention they give my dog is always excellent and the doctor is always very detailed and extremely caring. We love it here.

My puppy had parvovirus and he stayed 3 days in this clinic, they did a great job! My puppy was unrecognizable, happy joyful and healed! They trimmed his nails, showered him, he smelled so good. Staff were nice and polite and answered all my questions! Thank you so much!

Dr. Goldenberg is knowledgeable, doesn't pressure for procedures you don't need, and will try to give you the information you need to make a decision. Friendly staff. Have been bringing our two cats here for a few years. They obviously care about the animals they see. Being just him and a small staff they can run late, but the Dr still will spend time to answer questions. The pricing isn't cheap, but it's reasonable compared to other clinics around and definitely lower than the big chains like Bond.
