I highly recommend Dr. Boctor and his amazing team, especially Jay!
I’m so grateful for all the help and support they gave me with my dog Romeo’s international travel paperwork, from the U.S. to Egypt and then back from Egypt to the U.S.
I was especially worried about being able to bring Romeo safely back to America. While I was in Egypt, I reached out to Dr. Boctor because I was very concerned and didn’t know what to do.

I want to share my experience as a Deaf POC, since many of the reviews I saw before coming here felt very critical of the staff. Personally, I had a good experience. Some reviews seemed more like “policing” the employees’ actions or attitudes, but from what I’ve seen, many of the problems actually come from pet owners. For example, I’ve witnessed owners dragging their dogs by the leash — that’s not on the employees.
When I brought in my 3–4 month old kitten for an exam, the staff treated me well. The vet I saw (a male doctor) was kind and respectful. The price was on the higher side, but honestly reasonable compared to other vet clinics.
I have been to this place twice and my experience was good the staff are very helpful when you call them if you have any questions. And the waiting time is shorter than other places I love that they get things done quickly. I highly recommend for shots! Teddy has no issue after his shots.
