I have never reviewed bc I just find it unnecessary but I’m finally fed up. My pets growing up have always gone to Fischer VCA and seen Dr Danowitz who’s the most caring knowledgeable vet I’ve ever met but as of the past couple of years I have been nothing but disappointment and drained of money. I have been bringing my cat Ember to this location since I got her almost 5 years ago every year for her annual exam and rabies as well as anything else due. For whatever reason the costs of the visit and vaccines has gone up almost 100 dollars every year. Not affordable by any means. The drs I have gotten the past couple years are very unfriendly, rush you through the appointment, and relay very little info unless you ask yourself. The final straw for me was at my last visit this month. My cat was super nervous n shaking and ended up peeing in her carrier at the end of the appointment. I was super stressed and was fumbling around trying to figure out what to do and how to clean the mess. The front desk receptionist just handed me paper towels and didn’t help whatsoever just looked insanely bothered so I felt kinda stuck not knowing what to do with my soaked cat. Just wanted to say that because it wasn’t a great experience in that moment. I’d really appreciate more support in situations like this. Because of this and many other issues I will no longer be taking my cat to this or any VCA locations in the future. Such a shame since they used to be so friendly and reliable and supportive but that is clearly not the case anymore.

We recently moved to the area and had not found a practice for our two dogs. My 14 year old Staffordshire was in failing health during the blizzard and we were not able to get him seen. I called Fischer Animal hospital the following Morgan’s was able to get him in. We knew he would be leaving us. The staff was so compassionate and caring, gently explained the process and helped us through. They were very comforting during a very traumatic time. We are very grateful to Dr. Erica and all the staff.
