  • "VV didn't want to see us, they didn't even agree for us to sit outside the practice until 8pm so that they can see her quickly between other pets at least to see if there is anything broken."
  • "They kept on and on at me until I; they talked me into getting my kitten spayed... My cat was really ill afterwards obviously and had to wear a head/neck collar so she didn't scratch open the stitches."

  • "Have been calling them everyday for a week for my dogs heart medicine prescription and have been ignored."
