Buyer Beware If you want to try and heal your pet holistically you will need a lot of money. Though I have Pet insurance, they do not cover many of the herbs or treatments that Dr. MacCorkle will perform. In 3 months I have spent over $5000 to treat one dog with Prostate Cancer and one dog with Hip Displaysia. The dog with cancer after all of his treatments (mostly once a week) did not have his tumor shrink. He had an ultrasound in June by his regular vet and he had another Ultrasound by Dr. MacCorkle's people in Culver City. Her people said that if I didn't start chemo, he will not live much longer due to the tumor growing. I will now be paying another $5000 to treat with chemo, doubling all of my costs. The dog with hip problems also showed little improvement after all treatments and her back legs are as weak as ever. I wanted so badly to believe that this would work but I think that if this is the way you choose to go then you need to take your dogs 3 times a week for it to be truly effective. I do not have that kind of money. Also know that there acct procedures are not timely. You will receive bills late, you will be charged on your credit card at different times and you will have to keep track of everything. It has taken months to get them to turn the Insurance forms in. The staff is nice. Dr MacCorkle is nice. The offices are not your traditional vet offices. (Do not get treated in the Physical therapy room, it is dirty and I found 2 needles on the floor). The Dr's language is also different from a regular vet so ASK a lot of questions so you know what they are doing and treating your animal for. I truly hoped that she would be the answer. I was so convinced that this was the right way that I did anything she said thinking somehow that the herbs and acupuncture would work. For us it did not. And in the end it was all about quibbling over the amounts she charged me for (we spent over a half hour going receipt by receipt) and finding the mistakes in their accounting. And when it comes to getting every cent she charged, the niceness faded away and my husband who was wary from the beginning was right in the first place.
