    2022 About five years ago my dog was enrolled a wellness pet care plan with a large corporate veterinarian retail outlet, where one of her mammary tumors was not removed; even though it was marked and discussed previously with the vet. Veterinary Referral Associates diagnosed my dog with high grade cancer (large B-cell lymphoma). Cost of chemo options was $5.000, and $8,000. My multiple phone calls asking questions were returned quickly. Non-judgmental advice given to owner on choice of chemo vs Palliative care.

    This review is on our Internist, Dr. Sindumani Manoharan. She is thorough and pleasant to interact with. Her team is all so kind and sweet and I can tell that they handle things with care.

    I felt like she was very knowledgeable and understanding as to each aspect of our cat. The prices at VRA are pricier than other vets closer to me (one is 4 mins away and another is 6 mins away and VRA is 22 mins away). However, I feel like I would definitely trust the health care of our precious cat to her and her team.

    Loved the nice touch on the board when I was waiting for the doctor.

    Came here for a Sports Medicine apt and EVERYONE from the front dest to the technician to the vet were fantastic. The rooms don't even feel like a vet clinic. They truly care about your pet! While we were in the waiting room it my dog was getting cold and the receptionist brought him a thick soft fuzzy blanket for him!! Never been somewhere this accommodating- thank you!
