What Our Clients Say:

Client reviews reveal mixed experiences, highlighting both positive and negative aspects of the clinic's services:

• Mixed Experience: "I have mixed feelings on the vet. Ultimately, my cat is ‘healed’ (or so we hope). We were referred here after our vet consulted with Dr. Noone after they (our current vet) misdiagnosed a leg fracture. I guess they don’t call it the “practice of medicine” for nothing. The immediate recommendation upon referral was to do a bone biopsy which felt very invasive so I asked if there was nothing we could pursue test wise first. On her initial consult day they did do bloodwork, x-rays and an ultrasound ($1600). After everything came back appearing ‘normal’ he said bone biopsy was the next step. We scheduled for 5 days later ($1100). Pathology returned that her issue was a bone infarction (basically bone death due to loss of blood supply). Advice from the vet was to take her home, rest, don’t let her run, jump, etc. which we did. It was apparently 3-4 weeks in that something was not correct so I moved up her follow on appointment and questioned the diagnosis. The vet took serious issue (based on his attitude) with me doing so, but as it turns out the diagnosis wasn’t accurate after all. Another x-ray ($400) and we find out that her leg bone had deteriorated to the point that our only option left was to amputate. We did that two weeks ago ($4800) and the entire bone was sent off for pathology. Diagnosis Round 2? Cancer. She had her stitches removed today and asked if she needed follow-on care. Feedback? None needed. We got clean margins so I guess we assume there will be no issue? Wild to me. I’ll address that with our primary vet going forward. We are thankful to still have our cat (she’s very young, 18 months) who seems to be recovered back where she’s not hiding beneath the bed because she’s in pain. But all in all, it was terrible process getting here and some of the staff at this place to include the vet could work on their customer service/empathy skills in what is a very stressful and expensive situation for their clientele. Jeremy (aka The Cat Whisperer) was nothing but professional even when i was incredibly and outwardly frustrated at some of their processes. All in all - I would probably seek vet surgical care elsewhere if I need it in the future. Hopefully, I don’t. I’m guessing they won’t miss me either."
• Positive Experience: "Dr. Noone and his team did an outstanding job performing surgery on my 12-year-old Border Collie-Lab mix. During a dental cleaning in October 2024, a rare, golf ball-sized mass was discovered growing at the back of his tongue. After a referral to another surgeon who wanted to remove half of his tongue, we went to VRSP for a consultation. Dr. Noone courageously took on the case and did an amazing job preserving my dog’s tongue, giving him the best chance at a normal quality of life. I couldn’t recommend him enough! Special shoutout to Dr. Handley, who monitored and took magnificent care of him overnight. These veterinarians are truly amazing!"
