Dr. Marcus, Kim, Claudia, Nicole and all her staff are wonderful! They have treated our cats like their own. I appreciate that they can run so many tests in house and get results quickly. One of the things I like best is that Dr. Marcus takes time to educate us on a condition and on the options for treatment and possible outcomes. However, ultimately, she lets us decide the best course of action -- I never feel pressured. Regarding costs, Ive done the homework and they are comparable to others in the area and one has to consider that an x-ray or diagnostic costs the same whether working on a human or animal; it’s just that humans are often insulated by insurance. If money is a problem, be honest about it -- look into pet insurance and if you simply want to know costs up front, just ask -- the staff is very forthcoming. Most of all, I appreciate that Dr. Marcus has come to our home each time it has been time to say goodbye to one of our beloved kitties at the end of their long (18, 19 and 21 year olds) happy, and delightful spoiled lives. She has helped us to recognize the signs of their being ready to move on before they begin suffering. You want a vet that wont take advantage of your fragile emotions at this time and prescribe further treatment that makes them live a few days longer even as they may begin to suffer while your vet makes make a few extra dollars. Dr. Marcus can look at your cat and help you know when its time to say when. (For that matter, our cats were experts at letting us know as well -- they face death so much more calmly than we do.) While I miss each of our babies so much, I feel so at good that they died in our home and in our arms so peacefully and with dignity. Purrfurably Cats helps you take great care of your cats from kittenhood to grave.

Dr. Marcus was our fourth try for a vet to diagnose my cat that was ripping her fur out, causing sores and general skin problems all over her body. Three vets had brushed off my concerns as "helicopter parenting" and told me that she just had general anxiety. None of the meds they prescribed helped. Dr. Marcus took one look at my girl and said "Allergies, obviously." She prescribed us new meds to deal with the allergies and my cat is covered in FUR again. Shes back to playing, eating, and talking constantly- all things this unbearable itchiness had stolen from her. We went from discussing the unimaginable: poor quality of life, what can we do? To budgeting for her monthly meds. Its a trade Id make any day. Thanks to all the staff at Purrfurably that helped me get my girl back.

The doctor and the staff are great and knowledgeable. I have a lot of cats and kittens and I can always get a fast appointment if I need it and theyre caring and helpful. Most important is that they dont take my kitty away to do tests and scare them. I can stay with my kitty in the exam room and they bring the necessary stuff and tell me what theyre doing and explain the options.

The staff and vet were extremely friendly. From the moment that I called to the moment that I arrived they were very helpful. Every person there was very knowledgeable and were able to care for my cat like no other. They really went that extra mile for my cat. God bless them. All arround they are an A+

My cat is difficult (to say the least) and Dr. Marcus and her wonderful staff always handled every situation quickly and professionally. Hands down the best Vet Clinic Ive been with. Clean clinic, expert knowledge, and reasonable prices- overall I recommend this clinic for all cat parents.

The vets are great here. The techs are also wonderful and seem to really care about the animals. They do good work on kittens and adults (I have both). Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Always take my cats here.

Very disappointed. Dr. Marcus is a veterinary hypochondriacs dream come true. She over-diagnoses and over-treats which means youll be overcharged. Save your money and your cat... stay away.
