What recent reviews say

Strong veterinary care from named doctors, especially Dr. Baxter and Dr. Pradhan, who earn consistent praise for compassion and follow-up. Many reviewers report warm staff and responsive communication. However, front desk interactions frequently disappoint: rudeness, condescension, and unclear policies. Several reviewers flag aggressive upselling and costs significantly higher than competitors for similar services.

Montclair Animal Clinic

4.8(644)✓ Verified

Montclair's strength lies in sustained trust: patients return for 15, 20, or more years because Dr. Sharkey and staff treat pets as individuals, explain options clearly, and charge fairly. One patient found the clinic saved their cat's life during anaphylactic shock; many praise the calm, informed care even for difficult animals like Shibas. The clinic stumbles on follow-up: one cat owner administered thyroid meds that caused sickness, was told to continue anyway, paid for bloodwork, and never heard test results or a callback. Staff seem warm but results communication and medication reassessment can falter.

Chewy Vet Care 9+Co

4.8(272)✓ Verified

Most visits leave owners impressed by the calm, thorough care and staff warmth. Dr. Johnson, Dr. Robb, and Dr. Todd consistently earn praise for explaining options and costs upfront. The team treats anxious pets with visible patience, and follow-up communication is personal and detailed. That said, several owners flag the costs as steep, and one detailed complaint raised concerns about medication warnings and delayed responses to urgent questions. The business responded to that complaint with a refund, but the pattern of slower replies unless escalated appears real. Prices seem substantial even before add-ons.

Sploot Veterinary Care - 9+CO

4.8(761)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Most visits bring relief. Reviewers encounter a team (Dr. Rachel Thresher, Dr. Ben, Dr. Livia Wieringa, tech Alexis W and Eli among them) who explain treatment plainly, respect pet anxiety, and quote prices upfront. Rare visits fall short: one cat received only weight and heart rate checks; another's concerning mass went unbiopsy'd after a two-minute exam. For the vast majority, fair fees and genuine staff attention outweigh isolated missteps. A few reviewers praise the membership cost and the clinic's calm handling of nervous dogs and cats. Punctuation and follow-up remain occasional friction points. The 4.8 rating across 761 reviews places this clinic well above the emergency-vet category average of 4.59.
