What recent reviews say

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.

Praised for
  • compassionate, caring staff
  • thorough exams and diagnostics
  • flexible scheduling and same-day appointments
  • skilled surgical care
  • prompt, attentive service
Watch-outs
  • misdiagnosis and missed serious symptoms
  • unclear billing and double-charging
  • poor phone communication during crises
  • lack of follow-up after emergency hospitalization

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.

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.
