Amazing Support!
Dr. Tejpaul Bhatia the most compassionate, excellent genuine concern for my pet's well-being. Dr. Tejpaul Bhatia took the time to explain everything clearly above and beyond. best experience I ever had with a veterinary team. 10 Stars every question explained I love this Veterinary clinic Sincerely
Sam
Absolutely Superb!
The new owners of this clinic are top notch! I’ve never had a bunny before but a wild one adopted me so I took her to the vet. Dr. Martinez was amazing he brought in grass for her and was patient and kind with me and cookie he explained how bunnies are in depth. Sent me home with information on care. It didn’t feel like a vet appointment it felt like a great conversation with a couple of old friends. Him and the tech made jokes (about poop) so I felt these are my people. I will be taking my sweet cookie here always!

Amazing Service!
My cat went peacefully in my arm today with the help from Dr Bhatia and his assistant. Both of them are very caring and compassionate. The procedure was done professionally. It went smoothly . My cat was very calm and relax. We were very scared before they came but Dr Bhatia and his assistance delivered it peacefully. It does bring closure to my family. We would like to say thank you to Dr Bhatia and the lady who came with him.

I'm not technologically proficient, so this is the only way I can find to add a new review for the Francis Petcare Hospital, to tack it on to my last review for the clinic in its previous life as Catcare Veterinary Clinic:
Margaret Gibbs
Absolutely Superb!
Our journey with Cat Care started 4 years ago when our cat was peeing uncontrollably around the house. Karen took the appointment immediately and discovered our cat had diabetes. Karen has been so helpful. Our last visit was pretty serious and she gave us her cell phone number to text her at anytime with questions or concerns. This morning our other cat was having some issues and she got us in right away. Her compassion and care for our cats is amazing. I would recommend Cat Care to anyone who has a cat. Thank you Karen. We appreciate you.
Helen Aure
Amazing Service!
Awesome veterinarian! Thanks to Dr. Karen my cat is alive and well after a brutal attack by 2 raccoons. When I board my cat at Catcare they take great care of her and I never have to worry about her. I would highly recommend this clinic.

Amazing Service!
Karen was the best vet, she saved my kitten now he is 3 going to 4. Karen is a great vet she always remembers my cats. Too bad she retired because I fully trusted her 😭 for all my cats
Julianna Leung
Amazing Support!
We were adopted by Hunter 5 years ago 😺 After interviewing several clinics in the area we are so thankful we chose Catcare. Never having had a cat, it was important for us to find a clinic that not only cared for Hunter but also provided us with knowledge and education.
