What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently praise Dr. Sarhangpour and Dr. Foltz for solving complex cases and treating senior pets expertly, often after other vets failed. The clinic's in-house labs and ultrasound get answers quickly, and staff create a calm, fear-free environment even for anxious animals.

Some patients report that Legacy recommended extended testing before surgery or missed early signs of serious illness, leading to delayed treatment elsewhere. Billing has been a sore point: estimates sometimes contain unwanted services or jump significantly between versions, frustrating owners seeking straightforward care.

Praised for
  • knowledgeable vets (especially Dr. Sarhangpour and Dr. Foltz)
  • compassionate staff and gentle approach to anxious animals
  • in-house diagnostics (ultrasound, blood work) for fast answers
  • long-term patient relationships and continuity of care
  • genuine love for animals and thorough medical attention
Watch-outs
  • missed or delayed diagnoses leading to worse outcomes
  • confusing or inflated billing practices and unclear estimates
  • pressure to undergo unnecessary tests or procedures
