My cat Cordelia had to go in for emergency surgery on a linear foreign body. The staff here were incredibly kind and patient with me and my questions as a new cat owner, especially during this difficult time. They sent an update photo of her after she got out of surgery, and called me with updates throughout. Dr. Lehr did a great job! While I was there I saw the emergency staff helping many other pets and the overall tone was overall ideal for an emergency setting. Pricing was fair, and transparent estimates were given throughout the process. I would not hesitate to take a pet here in an emergency.

I had a great experience with QVC. I brought in my 12 year old cat, whom is very difficult to transport and handle. I was expecting the worst but the veterinarian Dr. Ognibene and her assistant were able to handle and treat my kitty even after she tried to escape.

The best vet ever. They always tried to do the best for our dogs, they are always available and everyone is very nice and professional. Prices are very reasonable. Blessings to you!

First time at your new emergency clinic with my cat last night. I have to say all the staff were great and caring in regard to my cat who had been vomiting. Did not charge me for unnecessary services as she had recently been to her regular vet.
