    Horrible experience in so many ways. My 3 year old cat had a blocked bladder they immediately told me it was going to cost $1800 without even examining him. After 2 days I was told he was okay to pick up and that he was urinating properly. They were all pushy sales type people towards buying their pet food product before examining my cat. When I went to pick him upon they continued to push the food product until I had to be forward and tell them no. Two days after picking up my cat he was not doing very well so I called them to inquire what to do. They told me to bring him in right away. When I got there they took him into the room and squeezed his stomach area until a little urine leaked out and said he was fine to take home with more prescriptions. I left again after paying an additional $150. My cat is not getting any better and I will have to find an actual capable vet or worse wait for him to work through it or pass away. Finally what made me write this review was that I just received a call from them telling em they forgot to charge me for blood/culture work and they would not tell me anything until I paid them. STAY AWAY FROM HERE!!! If have to use a 24 hour vet service drive farther for your pets sake!

    Took my pup here as it was the only place that was open on a Sunday. They scheduled me in on an appointment when I called. Upon arrival, we sat down and my pup was acting in pain, the receptionist noticed and asked me if he was always like this, I told her "no" and she put me in a room right away. He was examined by Dr. Dudley. Listed some potentials bust most likely a possible strain on his muscle. She gave him a prescription for some meds and rest. The next day he was doing the same thing, I called and they helped me out once again - I think I panicked as I didn't give enough time for the pain killers to set in. They put me in for another appointment but I ended up cancelling as he started acting normal again. He improved throughout the week. During that week, they called to see how he was doing. I scheduled a follow up appointment and Dr. Dudley noticed huge improvements and mentioned it could take a few weeks to heal. They called me again a few days later to see how he was doing. I am actually quite impressed with this vet. Dr. Dudley showed compassion and care for my pup and gave him the one on one interaction I look for when looking for when I take my pup anywhere. The staff were very friendly and I was thoroughly impressed with the follow-ups they did. We've gone to a few vets and we never received a follow up. I ended up making Dr. Dudley our primary vet and transferred his records over. When it is an emergency, you can tell the staff is trained to look for signs to see who needs it right away. It is an emergency hospital, so pets who need it the most will be looked at right away. I don't mind waiting as I understand the emergencies.

    I brought my dog in at 2am after she was attacked by a friends dog. The receptionist was very friendly and supportive as I was in shock and very stressed. The doctor and support staff worked quickly to examine my poor pup and go over options with me. She had surgery within an hour after arriving. After a day in hospital I was able to take her home. The doctor called the following day to follow up which I really appreciated. Great experience with McKnight.

    I wish I could have scored them 0 stars! I called them and rushed my boxer here after she had eaten 2 cobs of corn (the whole cobs). I know that the cob could get stuck in a dog's intestinal tract and require surgery or worse. I also knew the treatment was to induce vomiting right away before the cob enters the digestive tract. They had us waiting over 20 minutes with no sign of taking Rosie in to see a vet. At this point we called the 4th Street animal clinic who said they would see her right away. We left and rushed her there where we had immediate help. As we were leaving Mcknight animal clinic and I was almost in tears, I explained to the receptionist why we were leaving and how serious this could be, she shrugged and said, "okay bye." That was it, no apologies or statement of why we were left waiting in an emergency situation. I WOULD NEVER TAKE AN ANIMAL HERE IF IT WAS AN EMERGENCY!. They obviously don't see animals as being a member of the family.

    Took my pup in to emergency because he was peeing blood. They took some x-rays, determined he had an infection, and bladder stones but neglected to prescribe any antibiotics because she claimed she didn't know what kind of infection it was, so therefore could not give any medication. Our normal vet was appalled. Turns out you can prescribe a general antibiotic until test results come back and a more specific medication can be prescribed at that time. So my dog went 3 days without any medication. Wait time wasn't bad but staff seem disorganized. Won't go back.
