Yesterday I had to put my hamster Bartholomew to sleep. And I cannot possibly praise this staff enough for how compassionate and amazing they were. Talk about going beyond. I’m currently a vet med student myself and felt so comfortable and seen by everyone. Cannot thank them enough. I miss my baby so much. But I can see how well he was treated in his last moments and that meant the world to me.+0Posted on Google![]()

When it was our pups time, Greenlight Pet ER was exceptional in their care and kindness. Their staff was compassionate and made the process as calm and stress free as they could. We were given time to prepare and grieve. These moments are never easy but the staff eased us through the process.Posted on Google![]()

I was really concerned after my pitbull snagged my son‘s seafood broil, including the corn cobs, and started vomiting. Greenlight was there to explain all of my options, took great care of him during his treatments, and helped our boy recover wonderfully. I’ll always be thankful to the team for the care they provided when we needed it most.Posted on Google![]()

We had an amazing experience at Greenlight Pet ER! We brought in our bearded dragon, Axel, with a very swollen and painful eye, and the entire team was kind, compassionate, and attentive from the moment we arrived. Dr. Ana Maymone was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to carefully evaluate Axel, clearly explain the possible causes and treatment options, and answer all of our questions. We felt genuinely heard and reassured throughout the entire visit. It can be difficult to find excellent emergency care for an exotic pet, and we are incredibly grateful for Dr. Maymone and the Greenlight team. I highly recommend them!Posted on Google![]()

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot thank Green Light Pet Doctor and their entire staff enough for how amazing they were to me and my baby. From the moment we walked in, everyone was so kind, caring, and compassionate. They took the time to explain everything to me in a way that was comforting and easy to understand, which meant so much to me during such a stressful and scary time. They treated my pet with so much love and care, and they also made sure that I was okay throughout the entire process. I truly felt like they cared about both of us and not just about getting us in and out. Every staff member we interacted with was patient, understanding, and supportive. Thank you to the entire Green Light Pet Doctor team for taking such good care of my baby and for giving me comfort when I needed it most. I am so grateful for each and every one of you! ❤️🐾Posted on Google![]()
