Report
Highly recommend this vet. Went in for my kitty to have surgery it turned out she didn't need it. When I was expecting a bill they didn't charge me a penny. Everyone there is really nice, knowledgeable and they don't rip you off or waste your time like other vets. Thank you animal medical hospital!!
