What recent reviews say

Nine years of loyal visits and zero complaints. Reviewers consistently praise the cat-only focus, the genuine care from staff named Andrea and Dr. Rognrud, and the calm environment where nervous pets relax.

Dental procedures and mass removals proceed with thorough prep, real-time updates, and patient handholding for anxious owners. One critical review flags private equity ownership bringing price pressure, inconsistent vet availability, and comparisons to lower costs elsewhere, though most reviewers call the fees fair and clearly disclosed.

Recent shift: Private equity acquisition within past 2-3 years has shifted pricing upward and varia bilized vet availability, per the 1-star review; most older reviews (5-8 years ago) describe pre-acquisition experience. One complaint about delayed bereavement response was addressed after public review.

Praised for
  • cat-focused practice
  • gentle and compassionate staff
  • knowledgeable vets

  • thorough exams
Watch-outs

  • inconsistent care between vets

Best for: Cats with anxiety around dogs, long-term owners seeking continuity, pets needing dental work or ultrasound.
Think twice if: Sensitive to higher exam costs; want same-day lab results or quick vet text responses; expect consistent personality from every vet.

Strengths

  • cat-only clinic with no dog stress
  • specialist services (EKG, ultrasound, dental)
  • named vets (Dr. Rognrud, Dr. Maybank) with distinct reputations
  • staff known by name across long-term visits

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Rognrud: same-day response, compassionate; Dr. Maybank: knowledgeable but slower response times
  • Andrea: noted for hand-holding during procedures
  • Dental surgery and mass removal with real-time updates standard
  • Online pharmacy: reviewers report wrong fills; alternative pharmacies preferred
  • Exam cost: $95 noted in 2025; first exam listed as $25 OFF on website
  • Bereavement card sent (after review complaint)

Evans East Animal Hospital

4.6(1086)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Long-standing clients describe Evans East as a genuinely caring clinic where vets spend time explaining treatment and follow up after surgery. Doctors are named repeatedly for compassion and skill, from routine exams to dental extractions and tail amputation. The clinic gets people in quickly and staff remain kind even when owners are distressed. However, two recent cases raise serious concerns. One owner reports being double-charged for an exam due to unclear billing practices and a partial refund. Another details months of missed red flags (bloody stools, vomiting) dismissed as normal, leading to emergency hospitalization for inflammatory bowel disease. The owner felt abandoned during crisis calls and after discharge, with no follow-up from the primary care clinic.

Staff genuinely bond with animals and owners alike, with most reviewers praising calm handling, fast diagnostics, and follow-up calls. Pricing sits well below market for exams and procedures. A long-term loyalist switched vets after encountering a new doctor who ordered unnecessary tests and made a serious misdiagnosis, highlighting inconsistency despite the clinic's strong track record.
