I brought in a husky that needed emergency surgery for a perforated uterus at 8 AM. The surgery was not performed until around Noon. The vet seemed competent, but was not realistic about post op care and expense. The clinic was eager to sign me up for the Care Credit and then had me transfer my animal to Loomis Basin 24 hour care. They said costs would be approximately $300 per day for supportive care, but the bill ended up being $1800 for 2 days. Although I feel the AMC vet did a decent job with the surgery, not once has anyone from the clinic called to see how my dog is doing. They just want their money.
Hands down, my vet for the past 27 years. The compassion shown when my older dog had to be put down was extraordinary. I have always been pleased with all of the vets (3 personal friends and 1 I had not met before).
Not impressed. I have a regular vet whom my dog sees near my workplace, and my family has been using for years, he'll come to work with me for the day and we go there, but they aren't in Auburn. I've been to Animal Medical Center twice now, once to get special Science Diet digestive health food for my dog only available from vets, they were very reluctant to sell it to me; my dog had eaten and thrown up a 6" rope toy and needed to be on sensitive stomach food, but I ran out and wasn't going to drive to Davis to get it from my vet. The second time we went there was when my dog was loosing his hair in patches and getting scabs. The vet was 30 minutes late to my appointment, I had to ask the technicians if she was going to ever see us, it turned out she was the loud voice in the room next door the entire time we were waiting, that was talking about their remodel, family members, etc...nothing vet or patient related. She never apologized for running late when she saw us. Also I wasn't pleased with her attitude towards my dog, my other vet comes in with a happy voice, treats, gets down and says Hi to him; there was none of that here, she walked in, looked at him and said hi to me... He had a skin scraping done, which I waited forever for..granted an emergency dog came in during that time, so I'll let that slide. Also when she came to speak with me, she didn't bring him back; he's not staying there, so if they aren't performing something on him, it seems like general courtesy to bring my dog back, I'd prefer him with me, than in a crate...His tests were inconclusive and she offered no real advice towards his problem. Then the BILL!!! HOLY COW, just the exam rate is TWICE my regular vet! On top of the fee for the skin scraping test. Now I don't mind spending money on my dog, but jeez, my vet isn't cheap or bottom line, but that was too much. I'll be finding a different clinic in Auburn for when we can't make it to our regular vet.
This place took better care of my animals than most doctors do for me! They were extremely professional, respectful, and cleanly. They answered my call with concern and empathy. When I went in I felt welcome and important. I could tell that my animal's needs were important to them. The vet spend at least 30 minutes examining my 2 pets, weighing them, getting their background information and recording it in their file. I even got a follow up call a week later to make sure they were doing ok and that their condition had improved. What also wowed me was the follow up letter thanking me for choosing their services. This place is the best vet I have ever been to.
