Dr. Sands really cares. We just happened to go to him for a second opinion when another vet misdiagnosed my cat and said nothing can be done for him. Dr. Sands kept my cat in hospital and basically brought him back to life. So thankful for this vet.

I took a pet cat there who needed prompt attention when our usual vet was not available. We were accommodated after a short wait. Dr. Sands examined the cat and I was very satisfied with his logical, straight forward diagnosis. Improvement has been excellent with the recovery.

Friendly and helpful staff, knowledgeable veterinarians and quick convenient service. Dr. Sands is a really professional guy and his staff are always welcoming — it's the only place I think about when it comes to my pets.
