Joel did an awesome job. Communicates well. Understood the issue my dog was having and prescribed a prescription that I can pick up at Costco.

We had a fantastic experience with our vet visit! We’ve got a tiny 8-pound Yorkie and a 60-pound Lab, he treated both with equal care. The appointment was super efficient, and he broke down all flea control options in easy to understand terms. He made a great recommendation that fit both our dogs. Honestly, it’s refreshing to have someone so helpful, friendly, and straight to the point. Highly recommend him if you want a knowledgeable vet who puts your pets first!
