The clinic’s ownership (independent vs corporate group) isn’t stated in the information provided. Owners describe practical, anxiety-reducing handling choices—such as not lifting a dog onto the exam table when it wasn’t necessary—and clear explanations of injuries and recovery.

There is also a conflicting account from an older 1‑star review describing “very bad advice” leading to an expensive referral experience elsewhere.
