The staff was very kind to my dog and to me. However, I felt pushed into doing tests and getting meds that I didn't understand and found out later from other vets, that I didn't even need. The pricing for everything was ridiculously high and I believe this Vet is in it for the money, firstly. I actually felt a little scammed. So, if you don't care about spending large amounts of money on things that are not necessary but are still good for your pet(not necessary) then fine. I am sure you can trust your pet with Dr.Murtha, I would. But, certainly not my wallet.
1.0 star rating 2/14/2014 Dr. Murtha and her assistant totally bullied me into giving my cat a blood test and X-ray ($455.)to see if my cat had some underlying reason for throwing up, even though my cat had just had a rabies shot and was sick from that day forward. I read it was common after a rabies shot for sensitive cats, which my cat had a history of. I brought my 6 mo. old cat to see her, my cat was not eating for a week following a rabies shot and being neutered, but because my cat was extremely active and playful I thought she would start eating. No food for 4 days and then tried eating for two but kept throwing up. I went to see Dr. Murtha for an anti- vomiting shot which she gave and it worked immediately. She sold me additional medicine which was a waste of money $66I actually never even used it, she said it will promote eating and that he had a slight low grade fever. Soon as my cat started eating, right there in her office, he was fine. I hung out for at least a half hour after he ate and he never threw up again. Cost of Original office visit was $62. and anti-vomiting shot $44. that's the total amount I should have spent there. She is a Criminal and should be arrested for being a con artist and thief. I spent a total of $510.

Over priced, did not let us know estimate my regular vet would have charged me a 1/4 of what they charged. Cost was over 1,000$ not including board.
