Our appointment was overall very pleasant and informative. Dr. Lum took uses his expertise to assess the pet virtually and get to a diagnosis. Provided a rx for my senior dachshund as well as helpful tips to keep her healthy at her old age.

Wonderful to be able to meet with a veterinarian via video chat. I didn't have to stress my cat by taking her to an office. Will definitely use this service again!

I reached out to Dr. Joel to address some sudden behavioral issues in my dog. Dr. Joel provided detailed advice and reasoning/solutions to my dog's behavioral changes. I appreciate that he provided holistic solutions along with medical advice. He gave me both a short-term plan (using resources I had on hand and resources that are easily attainable) and a long-term plan!

Dr. Lum is extremely thorough and professional! He listened to everything I had to say about my cat's issues and worked with me to create a treatment plan. He provided short term and long term plans and made sure I was in agreement. My cat ended up being allergic to something in my apartment and has almost fully healed. Dr. Lum helped relieve Mitch of his temporary discomfort and reduce his over grooming. 10/10!
