I cannot overstate how much I love everyone at AEC. Their gentleness, care, and genuine love for my dog, and their endless kindness and patience for me as her parent mean the world to me. They have risen above and beyond my wildest expectations and dreams at every turn, and especially today for an urgent visit. I am filled with gratitude that they exist and if I could give them more stars I would - 5 seems way too low for the level of service and care they provide.

I was very impressed with their ability to handle my strong, agile and resistant cat, followed up by their assessment, diagnosis, and recommendations for treatment. The treatment seems to be working. They are also very flexible in making appointments quickly. Dr. Rodriguez and the medical staff were all excellent.

I brought my cat, Scallions, in for an eye consult due to persistent irritation. I got an appointment less than a week after calling and they found an entroption. They were able to get him in for surgery 2 days later. Everyone was nice, helpful, and answered any questions I had. They charged me a very fair price for all of the services they provided.

Dr. Rajotte was amazing! She took such good care of our pup! She talked us through every single step and provided much needed reassurance! She and her team are awesome!

I have a rescue that developed a tumor in her eye, and AEC was amazing at diagnosing it a year ago and telling us what to expect as it progressed. We monitored it for a year, and scheduling appointments was easy and they get you in quickly for a thorough exam and explanation of what they are seeing. We eventually had to have the eye removed and they did a great job educating us about the whole process, from pre-surgical instructions to post. Her recovery has been smooth and comfortable, and I appreciate everything they’ve done for her.

Very thorough and nice staff. Cannot thank them enough for being so patient with my cat, who has never done well with vet visits. Also loved the write up of notes that are given at the end of each appointment, as it helps with understanding everything that was discussed at the appt that we may be forgetful of afterwards. Thank you all so much!

Our Oscar got into a fight with the cat and damaged his eye. We were not able to save it. Animal Eye Care performed an emergency eye removal, and our Oscar is doing great, already back to his old self just 2 days after surgery.
They took wonderful care of my Smokey! Absolutely amazing people!!!
