My cat got sick, and since our regular vet was out of town, we took him to this hospital. They said that he had a bad tooth which had to be removed. Since he was suffering, we agreed and were charged $1000 for the procedure and for him to stay there and recover for a few days. Then my cat came home and didn't get any better, so we went to our regular vet (who was back by that time), who told us that my cat had an advance mouth cancer and there was nothing that could be done for him. Our vet showed us everything that was going on with our kitty, it was obvious that it was the correct diagnosis. So, after going through a horrible time when my cat was suffering and $1000 later, we had to say good-bye. I hate this place, they will rip you off when you need help the most. They are dishonest and horrible, find some other vets to go to.
I had an emergency last year where my kitten ran under my recliner when my wife rocked down. She had a head injury so we rushed her to Dr. harts. They told us their was nothing they could do but put her down. After a while of crying with my wife in the waiting room we signed the papers allowing them to do so. Then my wife wanted to be with her while they put her to sleep. The girl ran to the back and then came back a few seconds later and said that she could be saved but it would cost $800 just for her to stay the night. So why did they lie to us and let us think that we had to kill our own cat? They said that they knew we wouldn't have enough money to pay so we could sign her over to them and they would save her and find her a new home.....but we can't adopt her. So If you want lied to. Or to have to choose to let your animal live and never see it again or let it die then this is your place. I would not recommend Dr Harts a.k.a. Dr Death to anybody. I hope this article I found helps you make the best choice for your pet: Ohio Vet Board Has No Authority To Suspend Vets Suspected Of Mistreating Animals In Care The Ohio Veterinary Board may not have as much power as it seems to have to discipline veterinarians that have mistreated animals while in their care. Colleen Keszer brought in Duke, her chocolate Labrador, to veterinarian Lisa Hart. Keszer said that Hart “came outside and she grabbed him by his collar and he looked so scared.” Keszer complained to the Ohio Veterinary Board last October, when she first brought her dog in. She said that Hart didn’t find anything wrong with Duke and released him to go home. But Keszer said that four days later, Duke had to go back to the vet because he was extremely sick. He died within a week and Keszer blamed Hart for her dog’s death and filed a complaint. Last November, when a news team was investigating Hart, they found out the Ohio vet was already on probation when another dog was burned by a heating pad. Hart had been fined $1,000 by the state board, but she was still allowed to treat and see animals. Denise Dziak’s dog, Maggie, was another patient of Hart. Dziak said that Maggie had been vomiting, and was not eating or drinking. Her dog did not get better after seeing Hart. Dziak then took Maggie to see another vet who diagnosed her with a serious kidney disorder. She filed a complaint against Hart for her treatment of Maggie. Four months has passed since both complaints were filed, and there has been nothing done by the Ohio Veterinary Board, and Hart is still able to practice. The agency’s investigation is still ongoing. Theresa Stir with the Ohio Veterinary Board said, “We don’t have the ability to automatically suspend someone based on if someone is abusing an animal. We can’t automatically suspend them. We can’t stop their practice. We can only fine them up to a $1,000 fine.” By law, veterinarians are alerted before investigators can go inside their office for routine compliance inspections. A representative for the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association said, “We believe there are appropriate safeguards in place that the public receives the appropriate levels of veterinary medicine.” Source: MSNBC
Took my cat in last month when she was crying in pain where she had to spend the night. I called every 2 hours to check up on her. The staff never got annoyed with me calling and was always very helpful. Dr. Hart saved her life and made me feel very comfortable.
