I took my dog because he had a lot of pain in his ear. The vet explained everything to me thoroughly and was very gentle with my dog. All the prices that they told me before hand on the phone were also accurate. I was very pleased with the experience.Thanks Dr Nguyen.

Dr. Johnny Nguyen is by far the best veterinarian I have come in contact with. He is thorough with his examinations and takes his time with you to ensure he has answered all your questions. We are so grateful to have him as our family vet. Thank you, Dr. Nguyen!

I adopted two kittens a month ago. Unfortunately they came with fleas which I didn't catch for a few days. I quickly researched about 10 vets in the area. Choose Friendly to be their vet, made appointment, paid $300 hundred for first shots, deworming and flea medication. Got home a didn't see the flea medication on them. One just had a fluffed neck, like it was rubbed in hair and the other had it running down the side of its right front leg licking it. Anyone that has dealt with pet fleas knows the medication has to contact the pets skin to work. I took pics but they didn't come out well and contacted them back immediately. They disregarded what I said, assured me it was done, properly and said it could take 30-60 days to start working..., WHAT!! That's crazy! I disagreed. We debated back and forth because you can't reapply treatment for 30 days. I took there word for it. Needless to say, it was a mistake. it's been 3weeks now. I've never vacuumed, laundered, sprayed, powered carpet and flea combed more in my entire life!! My house still got infested, I have pest control coming to correct the problem tomorrow and my babies still aren't protected I have one more week to go before I can apply the medication myself, safely. So because they couldn't consider that their new employee made a mistake that I noticed immediately and could've easily been fixed. My life has been a nightmare these last serval weeks and the forest fire of fleas that I'm dealing with are all because my babies are (confined the last 10 days), walking host to these insects. Friendly just blew me off telling me to basically find another vet if I don't like their services. I went to them bc I have two babies and they were the cheapest. Well it's cost me a lot more in collateral damage. I've never felt so hopeless, defeated and stuck. I would NOT recommend this place just bc they have one of the cheapest visit fees. They racket up real quick once you're there. . Best of luck to everyone.

I took my dog to get his ears cleaned 3 days ago. When I picked him up one ear seemed very itchy. The next day I saw that one of his ears was irritated and bleeding. When I looked closer I saw that they cut my dogs ear on the inside. I called to see if they could see him and maybe get some kind of medication. They said they couldn’t see him until the following week. The front desk was not helpful at all and said that It wasn’t their fault and there was nothing they can do. The people that I talked to didn’t care at all. Please do not take furry babies here because they clearly only care about the money and not about our pets.

They listed their spays as $200, however, after examination, they added a ton of additional charges, totaling over $500 (the same price as any other Vet that charges a lot)

Eg: $20 for a plastic cone (which is crazy), blood work, an additional $200 since my cat gave birth 6 weeks prior, etc

So it seems like this vet lists themselves as a low cost neuter vet to attract more people to come here, which is shady. I would not recommend this place.

Took my dog here to visit Dr. Nguyen after he came highly recommended. He was so kind, gentle, and thorough with his exam on my pup. Unlike at big brand name pet hospitals that treat you like a number and constantly upsell products/services, Dr Nguyen took his time to explain all the different possibilities and options. We will be coming here again for his care.

my son brought our small dog shivering, they told him theyre gonna give medications and needs to stay for observation. after staying from 1100 am to 400 pm, they called and said he can go home. THEY CHARGE US FEE FOR BOARDING AND ENDED UP PAYING MORE THAN A THOSAND DOLLARS FOR ANBIOTICS AND BOARDING!!! Dont go to this dog clinic, unless you want to waste your money. they will steal your money, their no good at all!!!!! I WOULD GIVE THEM NEGATIVE STAR IF THERE IS A CHOICE FOR NEGATIVE STARS!!!!!

I've been to many bad animal hospitals, but this is by far the worst coordinated vet clinic I have ever been to. I needed an international health certificate for my dog to travel. I called in advance to confirm that their USDA accredited vet can help with submitting the health certificate electronically. The first time I went there, they said no problems, and the vet could do that, so we got started with a general health exam and the required vaccinations. Then, I scheduled another appointment to discuss the details of the certificate. The second time I arrived, they wanted to examine my dog one more time, but I was okay with. Later, they told me that the vet was not able to submit it for me. I was already very close in to my departure date, and I was deeply disappointed that the clinic didn't notify me earlier about their inability to submit it. They are irresponsible for notifying their clients ahead of time and caused lots of inconvenience for me. I absolutely do not recommend this place.
