The reviews for The Cove veterinary practice are mixed, with some reviewers praising the kind and helpful staff, while others express disappointment and frustration with their experiences.

Emergency Services

Several reviewers have had positive experiences with The Cove's emergency services, citing the kindness and compassion of the staff. Authors Robert Miltenberger and Steven Wu both praised the staff for being "very kind and helpful" and providing detailed explanations of their options for treatment. Author Ragsofash specifically noted the importance of the veterinary staff being there for their pet during an emergent episode, stating that "they loved our boy and it was obvious."

Communication and Transparency

However, some reviewers have expressed frustration with communication and transparency issues. Author Hannah Walston felt that she was not being updated on the status of her puppy's treatment and was not informed of the cost of the treatment until after it was completed. Author Aaron Green noted that the wait times for x-ray results were "long" but appreciated the willingness of the staff to explain the diagnosis and treatment.

Cost and Value

Several reviewers have commented on the high cost of treatment at The Cove, with some authors noting that it was a significant financial burden. However, others have expressed gratitude for the level of care received and the cost was seen as a justified expense.

Comparison to Other Vets

Author Ragsofash directly compared The Cove to another emergency vet, stating that the care and attention received at The Cove was far superior. Author Hannah James noted that the team at The Cove went above and beyond to provide surgery for their pet, staying later than necessary to ensure their pet received the best care.
