What recent reviews say

Most people report fast appointments, honest pricing, and staff who genuinely comfort worried pets and their owners. Dr. Adaska and Dr. Kelly lead a team that listens during emergencies, stays late, and texts updates. The facility itself reduces stress with warm lighting and a calm aesthetic.

However, two serious reviews flag surgical safety concerns: one kitten suffered cardiac complications and improper anesthesia protocols; another owner felt pressured to spend everything before being sent elsewhere. These stand apart from the overwhelming majority's experience, but warrant careful consideration for surgical procedures.

  • clear communication and price transparency
  • kind, patient staff
  • same-day appointments and emergency response
  • caring follow-up beyond the visit
Watch-outs
  • anesthesia protocol error during surgery
  • insensitive financial pressure during crisis care
  • lack of follow-up after complications

Strengths

  • same-day emergency appointments
  • staff trained in fear-free handling with calm facility design
  • clear price breakdowns before procedures
  • named vets (Dr. Adaska, Dr. Kelly, Dr. Allison) with strong repeat client loyalty

Worth knowing

  • Fear-Free certified environment with warm-toned exam rooms and reduced fluorescent lighting
  • Staff stayed after closing hours for Saturday emergency splint change
  • One kitten suffered cardiac arrest and improper anesthesia dosing during spay (dexdomitor used as induction); new vet review called protocols 'dangerous'
  • One dog received $60 IV fluid and food supplement, then was sent to low-cost clinic same day during pregnancy crisis

Common questions

Can I get a same-day appointment?
Yes. Multiple reviews mention being seen the same day for acute concerns, and staff took a Saturday emergency after hours.
Do they explain costs upfront?
Reviewers report receiving a price breakdown before services. One owner was quoted $400 for a spay with complications and $500 if redone.
Are they good with anxious pets?
Yes. Multiple owners noted their rescue and anxious dogs were visibly more relaxed here than elsewhere. The clinic uses fear-free protocols with warm lighting and low fluorescent overhead.

Staff and veterinarians at this location earn strong trust through careful listening and clear explanations during appointments. Reviewers consistently report that vets catch what others miss, stay patient with anxious animals, and openly discuss cost options. Two significant warnings: one customer was charged for an unnecessary repeat rabies vaccine without clear records review, and another faced hidden fees that contradicted phone quotes. Pricing clarity and internal oversight appear to be ongoing weak points despite the warmth of day-to-day care. The team takes time to know individual pets, build comfort for nervous cats, and offer resources for affordability. Named staff including Dr. Lexie, Dr. Liv, Dr. Z, Dr. Sran, Dr. Kan, and technician Lexie feature prominently in positive accounts. Wait times are reported as reasonable (same-day urgent visits available). The business claims to offer emergency care, dental, surgery, dermatology, and behavior consults across a low-cost model, and review evidence supports reliable urgent access and cost-conscious recommendations.

Urban Vet Care

4.7(856)✓ Verified

Long-term clients praise the vets for genuine compassion and skill, especially Dr. Barone and Dr. Mott, who excel with anxious and complex cases. The clinic coordinates well with specialists and offers acupuncture and advanced diagnostics in-house. Several newer visitors report bait-and-switch pricing and rushed care, while a handful cite staff inconsistency and missed communication on medical follow-ups. Urban Vet Care serves families with challenging pets and those seeking detailed explanations, though pricing accuracy and appointment pacing vary by visit. The 4.7 rating reflects strong long-term loyalty but recent friction over estimates, staff turnover, and care intensity expectations.
