We used this vet when we moved into the neighborhood, before we learned how truly awful they are. A prime example: We got a puppy, she developed a growth on her left forepaw. I took her to this vet, he recommended immediate surgery and biopsy, warning that it could be a malevolent tumor that would kill the dog. Naturally I agreed. It cost $500, but it was saving the puppy's life so it was OK. Soon after that we switched vets, for other reasons not related to this tale. A few months later, the puppy developed a growth on her other forepaw. I called our new vet about it, expecting to schedule another surgery. He told me not to worry, that this is common in puppies, and to call him back if the growth didn't go away within 3 days. Sure enough it *did* go away in 2 days. Animal Fur1st (or whatever, it's such a stupid name) wanted to schedule that surgery immediately because they knew the growth would go away soon! They put this puppy through risky anesthesia and painful surgery, and left her with a scar as long as her forepaw, just so they could charge me $500. There was no medical reason whatsoever to do this surgery!

If you care about you pets....please don't take them to this hospital. First they are extremely unprofessional. It starts from the lady answering the phone to the main doctor who doesn't seem to have any emotions towards your pet. He will suggest that he operate on your pet no matter how minor the problem. I took my beloved dog (R.I.P) to him for neurological problems and he wanted to open her stomach to see what was wrong with her. I refused because there was no clearity is to why he wanted to operate on her sooo bad. They are all about just money and they will prolong the treatment. he also is very good and charging you more for everything and then reducing your price to regular price and act like he is giving you this great deal. When he doesn't know how to handle his customers he calls police on them and doesn't come outside to deal with it. He's disgrace to all the professional vets out there. Please don't put your pets through this ordeal because your pets can tell you how bad this vet and his staff treats them. Many people have all their loved ones under this doctors care.
