Terrible experience! A few things you can expect...non-listening ear, numerous tests, repeated misdiagnosis(leading to expensive prescriptions that were never to cure 'said' illness), vet tech giving her own opinion(w/o vet present) with comments of the threat of death of pet, and overall manipulation playing off of your love of your animal. Long story about seeking treatment for my cat....but basically almost a year later my cat has never been happier or healthier. She has gained back weight she lost while on various medications prescribed by this clinic. These people lied about her condition and essentially risked her life w prescriptions that A-was to treat a bacteria that is always present and B-was not useful in treating 'said' bacteria! The treatment I sought and has helped my cat was for stress....Something I had mentioned to and asked both vets I saw at this clinic. Don't go there they are dishonest!!!...and money hungry!

A few weeks ago, I brought my beloved 9 year old dog to Gladstone Vet Clinic to have a "routine" dental exam and cleaning under anesthesia. Being a veterinarian myself (but I don't typically work on dogs), I had high expectations for the type of care my dog would receive, and I was not disappointed. When I brought him to the clinic that morning, they explained every step of what was going to happen, a certified veterinary technician obsessed over my dog the whole time he was anesthetized, and they monitored him frequently after anesthesia until he was able to walk around. This is not typical for many veterinary clinics, but I really appreciate that it is the rule at Gladstone. Dr. TenBroeke examined every tooth in detail, showed photos to me later, and it turns out my dog has a lot more going on in his mouth than I could tell myself without anesthesia. (I knew this would be the case from my veterinary training, but I was in denial about my own dog of course.) The whole day cost slightly less than the estimate they gave me at the beginning, which was a bonus. All in all, a pretty smooth process.

My experience at gladstone veterinary clinic was one of the most horrifying experiences that I've ever experienced. I do no recommend this clinic to anyone! On January 29th my daughters cocatiel Suki collapsed and showed signs of distress so we rushed her and her bird to the nearest vest for emergency care. The veterinarian said she had some birds xperience. She saw that suki was in distress so she put oxygen on her. The vet didn't even listen to suki's breathing, this veterinarian was completely incompetant. The manager wouldn't ok any treatment unless we paid up front by this time the bill had come to $261.00 for someone to hold an oxygen mask on suki for an hour. I mentioned I didn't get paid till the next day and would they accept a check. The manager said since I dont have money in my account that would be a NO, I reminded her that I got paid the very next day and the check would be covered. This very RUDE insensative manager proceeded to raise her voice by saying that they don't give out services for free which I replied that I wasn't asking for free services I pay my bills, she then said they could euthanize the bird here right in front of my daughter causing her to burst into tears .Being that no one would at this clinic would care for my daughters Suki bird she soon died. I was exstremely overcharged with a bill of $261.00 for oxygen for an hour of which I paid the bill and promptly left the premises a very unhappy client. SO NO THIS NOT A VETERINARY CLINIC TO TAKES ANY OF YOUR ANLMAL LOVED ONES TO!!!

1200 for dental cleaning is outrages for my cat! I have been going there for years but the prices keep going up and up and up! They dont care about financial issues for their customers. I feel like everytime I go in there I am being upsold. You need this you need that, spend spend. I am done. Besides my favorite vet left them ...I can guess why now.

Our local pet vet for all of our cats and dogs, more than reasonable on their exams and food. Do I recommend? Yes!
