We have been taking our cats there for several years, maybe even many years. They provide excellent service, full inoculations, suggestions, etc. We take our cats usually for a yearly check up. Luckily we haven’t had any accidents or other events that required an emergency visit. They are a helpful, professional staff. They are not cheap. For instance, our last “well baby“ check up was $570. This is for an eight-year-old cat that was in good health and needed it shots plus a fecal analysis to see if she had any parasites. She’s happy, she’s healthy, we love her and what the hell, it’s just money.

I hate giving a poor review, so I will start with this. Routine care is adequate and there are many things they do reasonably well. But, I have been repeatedly surprised by the difficulty of getting a call back regarding a pet health need (vaccine reaction, etc.), getting sound medical advice, and walking out without feeling the need to fact check the vet's advice. Because of this practice, I have spent way too many hours in the last year or so reading up on numerous health conditions and repeatedly joked about becoming a vet for my pet's sake. I hate to say it, but we will be changing vets.

The long-time owner of the practice retired and sold it to a different person. I don't have the same level of confidence in Dr. Malella's knowledge, skills and suggestions as I had with the previous owner. He is willing to speak with me by phone and to consult with other specialists concerning my cat's health and I do appreciate that.
