Blue Cross Animal Hospital

Our visit was «just ok» A lot of uncharges happening here, a lot of hidden prices– My dog needs a sty removed, and we were given an estimate, but when it was time for surgery, they called and said he suddenly needed extra bloodwork, and that was going to be an additional $ 75, on top of the $ 400 for the surgery and was not on the estimate… we search again for a new vet…

The Doctor’s are always pleasant and the building is very clean. Another plus is that they have always given me a cost estimate before beginning treatment. They do not «push» extras but really give you the big picture and help you make the appropriate decision. My cat was seen the same day for an urgent matter, thanks to everyone!

As a doctor myself, I consider myself to be very picky when it comes to my own doctors and my pets. Dr. Sharma did an amazing job with my dogs neuter, and they even saw him immediately when I had a little scare earlier this week. The office staff is also friendly and we welcoming. Highly recommended!

We got our cat from a shelter last year and he came with a coupon to visit a clinic. I found out this vet would do a free consultation on a first visit without the coupon which was nice. We went here and he certainly made sure he got paid for his time! My cat is a neutered male about 7 years old. A British Shorthair. He is sticky by nature but weighing in at 27 pounds he definitely had some weight to lose. The vet insisted to take a fecal sample for diabetes testing and other tests for parasites. I left the free visit paying $ 98 and they still insisted I buy some dry food for weight loss. The worst of that is that cats don’t eat dry food naturally especially carb fillers. I was also blown away when I lifted my cat to the table, and pet him to collect any loose hair (he was new for us and matted on his hind quarters since the previous owner didn’t care for him and he couldn’t groom himself due to his weight) and the vet snapped at me «don’t do that!» I felt like I was in grade school! He picked up the loosened hair as if his fingers were tweezers and he was disgusted. He grabbed a comb and manhandled my scared cat combing his fur backwards and saying «this is how it’s done» he gathered the hair in a pile and told me to do this at home later. He picked up a small hair tuff from the floor and I felt as if he was saying we’re dirtying up his office and he doesn’t have a cleaning crew! He was awful. Mind you all the test results were clear thankfully.

Stella loves going to the vet!
Very nice vet who really takes the time to get to know your pet.
Staff there is super friendly.
Sometimes it takes a while to get checked in and seen, but it’s definitely worth the wait!

Affordable, nice, caring. No problems with appointments, friendly staff. Small and basic, nothing fancy … If you want a fancier office you can certainly go elsewhere, but you’ll definitely get stuck with a bigger bill. Docs have always been nice and caring with my dog and answer all my questions.

I thought I really liked this place until my last annual checkup. I had an appointment for 6, was in a room at 6:30 the vet came in, checked my with his stethoscope in four spots, asked my how many months of trifexis I wanted, came back in showed me my bill, a tech came in pretty much had me pin my dog, ran though the shots and the nose spray and left. My dog loved this place, he left tail between his legs. Finding another place now.

I was very pleased with the help my doggies and I received today at this facility. Jean helped me by giving gr8 directions (I had to call her twice) because I was sooo lost. Their vet was thorough and very attentive. She took a lot of notes this helps me to feel like they are actively listening. I don’t like that they took them out of the room to administer shot mostly bcus I’ve heard too many horrible pet abuse stories. Lucky mine came back to me unscratched. I wish it wasn’t as far away as it is bcuz I like the staff to include the vets. Ty for a positive experience.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Dr. Sharma and the staff at Blue Cross Animal Hospital. My cat was extremely sick and we brought her to see Dr. Sharma. We had no idea what was going on with her because it happened so suddenly. He was so caring and was so thorough with his physical exam. He helped us figure out what was going on with her immediately which was so important because it was life threatening. We have taken her in for check ups since then and she is doing sooo much better. He treats our animals with such love and we are so thankful for that.
I’ve never met a more knowledgeable veterinarian. He has such a good heart and truly cares for the animals. I definitely recommend that everyone takes their animals into Blue Cross!

This vet office is fantastic! We take our kitty here for check ups and dental work usually but when we had to make an emergency appointment, they got us in within the hour. Fabulous office and staff! I’m so glad that I found this place!

We ended up going to Blue Cross because of an emergency and our other vet was not open — we haven’t looked back since!
We have a pup with severe allergies and were going to the vet at least every other month with skin, ear or stomach issues. We are always able to get an appointment here. Dr. Sharma and the other vets are very knowledgeable in treating dogs with allergies! Our dog has improved so much since starting at Blue Cross because of Dr. Sharma.

I had an extremely good experience at blue cross. The doctors were very caring and understanding of our concerns. They took care of our cat immediately. They were also very upfront about pricing and didn’t try to sell us on anything, which I’ve had trouble with in the past. Clean, caring, and positive! Will make this my regular vet for all needs. Thank you Blue Cross!

This place is awful! The desk staff took 17 minutes to even greet me. Then they spent approximately 30 seconds with my dog before coming back with a $ 217 quote for a $ 30 procedure. The vet was EXTREMELY rude and aggressive to me… he got so close to my face that I actually thought he was going to HIT ME when I questioned the obnoxious costs and unnecessary treatments of my tiny dog. He even had the audacity to comment on my baby’s care because I questioned him. He had zero alternatives then bad mouthed the Humane Society.
I now understand why they always have so many open appointments.

We are so happy we took our puppy to Blue Cross from the beginning. The staff there is absolutely wonderful. They really try to connect with the animals to make them feel more comfortable.
They have great hours and the pricing isn’t bad. We’ve compared it to other vets in the area and there was significant savings.
When our puppy had to get neutered, he had to get a special procedure done as well and some teeth pulled. The cost ways hundreds of dollars cheaper than our friends’ dog that got only neutered at a different vet.
I highly recommend Blue Cross to any one looking for a vet.

I cannot thank everyone at Blue Cross Animal Hospital enough. Everyone was extremely professional and friendly the entire time.
I took my foster dog in for kennel cough and the staff rushed us into an exam room (to prevent the spread of this crazy contagious disease) I was glad for that. Also once a contagious dog has been inside an exam room, that room is only used for that purpose. They take all precautions to keep healthy dogs healthy!!!
Also, the prices were VERY affordable. AND your first exam fee is FREE!!!
You would be crazy not to bring your pets here.

Dr. Sharma and the staff are great. They provided great care to our pit mix and were very helpful with all of our concerns. Dr. Sharma walked us through all of the services and how much it cost before doing anything. He is also flexible in terms of trying the cheaper treatment first before moving on to something more major or more expensive, one of the test was out of our price range so they put on a 6 week strict diet to rule out food allergies and gave us some great tips. He’s very good at explaining what he’s doing and what the problem is or might be. The staff was really friendly over the phone when I had to call with some questions also the first physical exam is free.

Very happy with their care. The lead vet (Dr Sharma) is like the dog whisperer to my anxious boxer. They discuss EVERY dollar BEFORE they go through with anything. They won’t just start poking and prodding your pet and give you a ridiculous bill. Very upfront, and above all great care.

I took my cat in that was in a scuffle with a dog. The cat had no injuries but the vet did find kidney issues. That might not seem like a big thing but if he didn’t tell me to get blood work we would have never found out that she had early signs if kidney failure. This would not have shown signs until it was too late. He saved my cats life for sure. Are they a little pricy and want to run tests knocking up the bill –yes. Just keep in mind most vets do that but the vet as well as the staff clearly cares so much I think it is well worth it. I live the late hours too.

I would never go to this place again. My dog had all the symptoms of a UEI so I took her there on short notice even though we had just moved to RO and were not registered with a vet, this was one good thing about these guys.
First they muzzled my poor, scared dog even though I insisted that she had never and would never show any agression. Next they guilted me into getting a spectrum of unnecessary tests when I knew it was just a UEI, I took them a urine sample which they could have just tested first! After all their tests and x-​rays! (they convinced me that it might be kidney stones despite her being really young), they diagnosed her with a UEI. What should have been a painless $ 40 vet visit turned out to be super stressful for my dog and cost over $ 200.
If you are in an emergency, it’s an OK place but if you are new to the area and need a new vet, take your time and find someone who will care for your animals.

We just went through our first major pet illness in our house. Chunk, our dog, was vomiting for almost a week and just miserable. He’s an older dog so we were really worried. After testing for several things that could be causing the vomiting, we tried a couple non-​invasive treatments, like dewormer and anti-​nausea medicine. We ended up ruling out the most common causes and decided exploratory surgery was the best option, thinking there might be a foreign object blocking his digestion. Well, we found out that the silly dog had eaten something and it had gotten stuck, so what was initially exploratory surgery ended up being fairly major. We also found something that might be cancer. Needless to say, it was a stressful and scary ordeal.
Dr. Sharma and his staff could not have been more compassionate, understanding, and flexible through the whole thing. Before you’re charged for anything, Dr. Sharma walks you through the services and charges one by one so you understand what you’re paying for and how much it costs. He is also flexible in terms of trying the cheaper treatment first before moving on to something more major or more expensive. He’s very good at explaining in laymen’s terms what he’s doing, what the problem is or might be, and what the medicines he’s giving are supposed to do.
The whole ordeal and surgery did end up being expensive, as any surgery would be, but we felt it was cheaper than we were expecting, and cheaper than it would have been at another vet.
Dr. Sharma and staff are very accommodating, even for regular visits, and can often fit you in last-​minute, which is comforting when your four-​legged best friend isn’t feeling well. I have also felt like I could call with follow-​up questions, which is nice.
Chunky is doing very well in recovery and was found to be cancer-​free, and we’re so relieved and thankful to everyone at Blue Cross!
