I just wanna say how grateful I am to all the staff and especially Dr Dixon for taking such good care of my girl over the years . He helped take such amazing care of my girl especially in her last moments , I will never forget it . It’s indescribable how empathetic and loving and gentle he was with her as well as the love and empathy he had for me and my mom . He is truly meant to be where he is . Thank you so much Dr Dixon and staff for caring for Kitty .

ZERO stars- don't allow their "free visit" fool you they are getting the cost of the visit and then some. First they tried selling me on test to have skin from pet analyzed under a microscope when they had already diagnosed my pets condition, only they had not shared it with me yet, I declined. The reason I know this is because when the doctor walked in she told me my dog had a bacterial infection before she even looked at him which tells me the assistant that tried to sell me on the unnecessary test had already diagnosed my pets condition. Then after going over the treatment plan and cost the assistant came back and after explaining prescription she informed me they added a couple meds and said the price increased by $40. She then said" is that ok?" No that's not ok it's shady business practice at the very least driven by greed. Clearly this business uses add-ons and strategic manipulation to increase prices for services and medications. I do not recommend this business to anyone. Shame on you VCA SHELDON AND YOU DR. ELISE KNIGHTON

Today was our first visit to this vet and we brought our new kitten Jackdaw. I was a bit nervous at first to try a new vet but everyone we met there were truly some of the kindest and most patient people I've ever met. Dr. Knighton, Alexis, Jade and the kind lady working the front desk (Im so sorry I didnt catch her name!) were all so nice and treated Jackdaw like they're own. They explained everything in great detail, answered all our questions, made sure we understoond all of our options, and made sure Jackdaw and his comfort came first. We couldnt be more thankful for them!
