We took our two cats to see Dr. B on the recommendation of a friend. When we got there, the staff had just had their breakfast delivered and we sat for 15 minutes after our appt. while they sat there and ate. The place was filthy. A dog pottied in the waiting room and it took 10 minutes for someone to come clean it. Even then, it was just absorbed with a towel. No cleaner or disinfectant was used. We were happy w/ Dr. Bs treatment of our animals. They just had routine check ups and shots. We used a coupon we received in the mail for a free exam. The bill was still $600!! We left in shock, but we were truly mortified when one of our cats developed a respiratory infection a few days later. We have indoor cats who had never, ever been ill. We didnt think it was a coincidence that our cat got a respiratory infection from this dirty place. When I took the sick cat back, we were put into a room that was filthy and had a puddle of urine on the floor. I took pictures with my camera, it was just so bad! That visit was almost $200. After going, we have spoken with many people who used to go there, but left when it became part of VCA.

Also not sure what those other people were talking about. Im sorry one also seemed a bit crazy too lol. My first experience there was me bringing my pet Rat to be put down. I was amazed at the price! Most exotic vets would charge triple what they did. Also Dr. Thode was really nice. When my pigeon needed a check up I took her there too. Once again Dr. Thode amazed me with her patience. She didnt even give me a hard time about not having her wings clipped. Since she also treats cats I then brought my cat there. I thought she just had bad allergies to fleas like I had been told before. Even when treated for fleas the problem wouldnt go away. I also noticed a lump in her stomach. I found out she had lymphoma. Dr. Thode was very helpful and honest with me. Shes always ready to answer any questions. I also find all of there overall prices to be very reasonable. I recommend this vet to everyone I know. Ive heard wonderful things about Dr. Bystry as well. I will continue to bring my pets here :)

I do not take my cats to the vet regularly as they are indoor cats. When I do need to take them in, Sunrise Vet could not be more accommodating. I do not have to wait long when I arrive and have been happy with the all the doctors and staff throughout the years. They LOVE animals. As far as expense, I do not have pet insurance which may help, but I know it will cost a few hundred dollars. Veterinary care is just pricey no matter where you go as they are expensive businesses to run with skilled professionals (a veterinary doctor goes to school 7 years!!), expensive equipment and salaries. Do I wish it would be less expensive when I have to go? Sure, but I am realistic and understand whey it is what it is.

I take my pets and my rescues to Dr. Bystry. Dr. Bystry and his entire staff are amazing. You can feel immediately that they truly care for the well being of your pet. They are all about doing what needs to be done to get your pet healthy. They do not rape you by running unnecessary test, etc. just to take in more money. They do everything the right way. Ive even seen their staff in tears over the death of one of their patients when its their time to cross Rainbow Bridge. I recommend Dr. Bystry and his staff 1000%!!!

Everyone here is so great. I take a bit of a drive out and its well worth it. I see Dr. Barbara Thode for my pets. She truly cares for animals and is such a sweet lady. My pets are more calm seeing her than when Ive gone to previous vets. Its always a pleasant experience and they even ask if I need help bringing my cage to my car when my hands are full.

My family has been using this vet for 20 years and never had a problem. Many of our dogs were brought here at the end of their life and the Dr. and staff were always so kind to them and us. Their staff has always been helpful and accommodating for our dogs. Dr. B is great and the building is always clean. I recommend them to anyone who needs a vet!

Great Vet! I wanted to add that Dr Thode is truly the best vet I have ever had the pleasure to help me in my time of need with both of our ferrets, She was kind, informative and extremely caring. I will soon bring my pup in for a visit as well. Keep up the great work! Thank You very much!

I have taken my pets here for years. The staff is very caring and empathetic. They are willing to go above and beyond. I have worked with Dr Thode and Dr Bystry and they are both wonderful! I will continue to bring my pets here, as well as recommend this facility to others.

I dont know what these other reviewers are complaining about. Dr Bystry is the best vet Ive ever been to. My pets have been going to Sunrise for 15 years and I love it. I trust my animals lives with them.
