What recent reviews say

Long-term clients praise The Vets for affordable, caring service and Dr. Sebunya's attention. Recent years have seen mounting complaints about lost follow-up communications, staff rudeness, incomplete examinations, and unclear pricing on procedures. The listing as emergency care appears misleading; the clinic refuses walk-ins and some report being turned away during urgent situations.

Recent shift: Sentiment has declined noticeably over recent years. Earlier long-term clients report satisfaction with decades of care; recent reviews from 2-12 months ago increasingly cite staff rudeness, poor communication, incomplete exams, and misrepresentation as emergency provider.

  • affordable care
  • attentive vets (especially Dr. Sebunya)
  • caring and compassionate staff
  • knowledgeable doctors
  • gentle with anxious pets
Watch-outs
  • poor follow-up communication

Long-term customers report a steep decline in service quality. When staff are present and engaged, experiences improve: one reviewer praised euthanasia care as compassionate, and boarding customers mention attentive updates. But scheduling mishaps, rude or dismissive front desk staff, incomplete grooming or nail work, hard-to-reach phone lines, and prices climbed beyond what many feel they're getting. Several multi-decade clients have left over these persistent gaps.

Staff spend time earning trust with nervous dogs, earning consistent praise for patience and gentleness.
