I've been taking my standard poodle here since he was a puppy (over 6 years now). It's true that the veterinarians here don't mince words. I don't think I've ever escaped an appointment without a lecture over some thing or another, but I do get the impression that they are acting in the best interest of my dog. I like that they usually give you several treatment options and tell you outright which tests need to be done now and which ones could wait until later. They also answer your questions very thoroughly.

I am ambivalent about this place. I brought my rabbit in for an exam and neuter because Maloney is inexpensive and came highly recommended by other local bunny people. The vet's textbook knowledge about rabbits was top notch and she is clearly well informed about their care, diet and medical issues. However, there are a number of things she didn't know about angora rabbits specifically, and I don't expect her to, but she came down pretty hard on me for things which she thought were wrong but are 100% normal for angora rabbits (for example, small bald patches after they shed is normal, as is a high protein diet to help them produce all that fur). When I explained that it was common for angoras, instead of saying "oh, I'll look into it, I haven't worked with many angoras", she argued with me and suggested he had mites, or was going to get fat, etc. I also find her very dramatic - for example, a couple of small mats were a big deal to her, as were longish claws. I had actually clipped them a few days before but had erred on the side of caution because it was my first time. They were NOT that long - in fact, when she clipped them, she cut the quick and he bled all over the place. She did a good job on the exam and even brought out the clippers to take off a few of the mats he had on his belly. The neuter and her follow-ups were excellent and much appreciated - she called me as soon as he was done surgery to confirm everything was good. She suggested other treatments or tests I might like to have but didn't really push or upsell them. I probably wouldn't go back because I came away, each time, feeling like I was a bad pet owner and that my rabbit was at death's door. And since neither of those things is true I don't want to feel that way. However, I would recommend them to others who keep "common" breed rabbits, and to those who are a little more insensitive to scary "oh, I don't like the looks of this small fur mat!" type of comments. So in closing although I probably wouldn't go back it's not a quality of care issue, it's a bedside manner issue. And it's certainly not a price issue because the prices were very fair. I paid about $300 total for the initial exam, the neuter, and the pain meds post-neuter.
