I will always remember how Dr.Jennifer & her whole staff here at UrgentPaws made me feel when bringing in my dog who was feeling sick. They are the most genuine people and it shows in not only their care for your pet, but you as well. This was my first time here and I will forever be returning when my dog needs any kind of services done. They handled my dog with extra care and honestly were just as concerned as I was for him. The whole office is so clean & the exam rooms are super comforting, because they have calming music playing which helped me relax a little bit as well as glass windows so you can see everything they are doing with your pet! I didn’t catch her name, but alongside Dr. Jennifer, another staff member who was also helping me with my dog was so kind and went out of her way to help me when she found out I had a migraine from the stress I was in with my dog! I cannot say enough great things about this place and my experience. Dr.Jennifer even called me the next day just to see how my dog was doing & get an update on his condition. This is a place you can trust with your pet and know they will be in amazing hands! Thank you again Dr.Jennifer & staff for the love shown to us, the little guy & I are so thankful!❤️

Christine and Dr. Wells were AMAZING! They quickly assessed my cat and got her feeling better in no time. Reasonable/transparent pricing and very informative during the entire process. They are open late and overall just a great team. Thanks again guys!

I can’t say enough good things about them. They took me in last minute and took care of my Chica’s anal gland rupturing. Her techs Christine and Jasmine were so kind. And Dr Warbler was patient with my very flimsy dog. They made her feel comfortable and dimmed the lights in her room. She was actually relaxing in her exam room like WHATTT. My dog has always been nervous going to the vet and at 9 y/o they somehow managed to teach her that it doesn’t have to be that scary. They were not pushy or guilt tripped me and worked with my financial limitations at the moment.I truly appreciate that they made me and my dog feel comfortable throughout the visit and will continue to recommend them! Thank you so much Christine, Jasmine and Dr. Warbler. You all are amazing.

Our beagle, Maddy got sh*t faced off an cutwater espresso last night. Besides a hangover and some booze breath she's doing well now. Chloe was our vet tech and the veterinarian on duty last night, both, were so compassionate and made us all feel safe. Also, instead of over selling us, using our anxieties for their benefit, they were very cautious about costs and unessary treatments. Lovely crew.

Dr. Martinez and his staff are angels are earth. We had experiences with both of our cats about a month apart, where in each instance, Dr. Martinez quickly identified significant health issues, walked us through all of the options, answered every question clearly, and ultimately helped us with "making the decision" (when the time came). Dr. Martinez quite literally held our hand through it all and took as much time with us as we needed in every decision. Everyone we interacted with was extremely knowledgeable, treated our cats as if they were their own, and had amazing sympathy and compassion. My gratitude far exceeds any rating system, and I will recommend Urgent Paws to anyone that will listen.

I recommend without hesitation Urgent Paws for your pet’s urgent care needs. It’s wonderful to have a facility that’s a step down in care from a full-on pet hospital - and it’s staffed by extremely dedicated people. I had returned from work to find my cat limping and Urgent Paws quickly got to the source of the injury. @grateful

I took my dog, Dior, to Urgent Paws yesterday, and I’m so glad I did! The staff took great care of her and treated her with so much kindness and attention. One of the nurses was especially attentive to Dior, which made me feel reassured throughout the visit. They regularly checked in with us to see how everything was going, and I really appreciated that they even followed up the next day to see how Dior was doing. It’s clear that the team genuinely cares about their patients and their owners. I’m very grateful for the care Dior received and would absolutely recommend Urgent Paws to anyone who needs urgent veterinary care for their dogs or cats. Thank you to the entire team for taking such good care of my girl! ❤️🐾

We took our cat, Dante, here after he went potty outside of his litter box where I discovered he had a parasite. We made an appointment for 10:00 pm. Sam helped us get settled into the exam room. She was so good with Dante. Dr. Wells saw Dante, and provided us with some treatment options and testing. (I did call my friend who is also a vet and explained to her the situation and she said everything that the Dr. Wells suggested is what she would she would suggest for treatment.) We ended up taking Dante back the next day after my boyfriend and I could not get Dante to take his pill. Dante was seen by a vet tech, Victoria, and she got him to take that pill in under 10 seconds. Dr. Wells, Sam, and Victoria all had an excellent bedside manner. All of them were so professional and caring. Dante is doing much better now. I would take my pets here anytime. 10/10.

I truly enjoyed our experience here this evening. I wasn't quite sure how it worked and never heard of this place but we gave it a go because our vet was closed until Monday. We signed in online before we got there. When we arrived there was only one other family ahead of us. We were greeted and we signed into the kiosks and began to fill out our forms. Before we could start we were directed to a room. All the rooms were very clean and mostly windows so you can see everywhere. Kelsie was our RVT and was so sweet. She took vitals and was very gentle with our dachshund. She explained how everything would go and shortly after she saw us the vet came and examined our baby. He had a double ear infection and they help clean and show us how to administer medication at home. They even allowed me to hold him and participate when we were called into the main examination room for cleansing his ears. We felt so comfortable and my weiner dog did so well. I've never been able to be with our pet when they get taken into the back for a procedure. It was a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend and go back to. It was also not overly priced for it being urgent.

The veterinarian and staff were so compassionate and patient with my dog. They truly listened to my concerns and took the time to help ease my dog’s nerves, which meant so much to me. Their kindness made a stressful visit feel much more comfortable for both of us. I’m grateful for the care we received and highly recommend this wonderful team!
