I took my dog in because she was acting weird and I was worried about her. When I get to the office and go in to see the doctor they said she looked to be in some back pain and would need x-rays to pinpoint it. I told them I couldn't do x-rays right now financially and could in a few weeks. I then asked would the x-rays tell us if she needs surgery and they said no. So I talked to my husband and we decided now wouldn't be a good time to do the x-rays. After that the doctor told me if you can't afford X-rays then I couldn't afford back surgery and I would have to euthanize my dog! Who says that to someone? My dog could walk and jump still and they were already telling me I'd have to euthanize her. I actually could afford to take care of my dog, but they tried to guilt trip me into doing things. It was a terrible experience. There was also a nurse who would tell me how I was doing things wrong every time the doctor left. Maybe it was just me, but I really had a sad experience there. The guilt tripping and telling me my dog that was walking just fine would need to be put down because of me?? I personally would never go back there.
Any bad ratings here are likely the result of unscrupulous internet-based blackmailing "companies" or idiots. I have been going to these people for years and they are the best. Affordable, professional, knowledgeable care.
I have been bringing my dogs here for about 4yrs now, and they are great.
The place always seems dirty. I always find tons of dog hair all over the place -- on the floor - in the sitting areas, in the exam rooms too. Tons of dog hair. Also, maybe its the yellow walls and really old equipment, etc but the office always gives off a dirty feeling. It just never feels clean in that place. The service is no better. Our dog developed a bladder infection while she was in their care (overnight treatment) and they still made us shell out over 100 dollars to "fix" the problem.. except they didn't fix it, a month later, when our dog was still showing signs of an infection we take her back, are charged more money and they tell us she was given the wrong medication. worse part is they were very unfriendly to us the entire time. When we asked for some kind of financial credit since it was their negligence, they refused. I could go on and on with other problems we've had but lets just say since they were convenient I kept going back until finally, I went somewhere else for the safety of my animals.
I've been going to this vet for probably ten years. I have five cats, all varying ages and health situations. Yes, they will offer tests -- just say no if you can't afford it. I always get what is recommended and the care has always been appropriate. I like the two different entrances for cats and dogs, and the vet techs are very nice. The one thing they could use is a device that makes the doors swing shut less quickly -- its too loud in there with slamming doors. I think the other reviewers have been too harsh, I've been to alot of different vets and I actually think this place is good.
