Our 10-year old cat has been going to Pet Samaritan for years and our 9-month puppy Baxter has been going there since we got him at 8 weeks. Dr. Ewing is our vet and she is thorough and thoughtful. We had to sign a spay/neuter contract for our puppy and she was willing to go to bat to get the contract deadline extended to 1-year for the health of our puppy given that recent research findings indicate later s/n results in better development and lower incidence of certain cancers. Luckily, the breeder extended the deadline upon request, but I was comforted knowing that Dr. Ewing feels so strongly about doing the right thing for our pets that she would call or write to advocate for us. The downside of Pet Samaritan Clinic is definitely parking - especially with recent new development in the area, but I've never had a huge problem. The care is great, the prices are affordable and they have a great insurance plan you can purchase for pets on an annual basis to significantly reduce costs. The insurance does not preclude pets with pre-existing conditions and has saved us lots of money on our cat's treatment. Highly recommended.
I've taken my rabbit here twice - once to get spayed and once because she ate a poisonous plant. Both times Dr Davies was gentle, highly knowledgeable, and great with our rabbit. When she got sick they got her in ASAP. Because rabbits are exotic it's not easy to find a vet who will treat them and understand all of their special needs. We just got a second buns from the humane society - they are participants in the free health examination that OHS with their pets and I trust that she'll be in great hands with this team. :)
This is the same review I tried to leave on Yelp but it doesn't show up. Please consider this review seriously. I'm sure this place is probably great with dogs and cats, but I would NEVER TAKE A BIRD HERE again. I can't anyway because now he is DEAD. I had a budgie with a lice problem and I was given Ivermectin to treat it. Pretty standard. I used to be a tech myself so I am pretty familiar with these kinds of things. He clearly had an overdose the day after I administered his second dose. He could not stand and was completely out of it. I brought him in immediately for emergency medical attention. They put him on oxygen and gave him sugar and somewhat stabilized him. Dr.Ewing would not openly admit that it was a complication from the medication although she had no other explanation. I continued to nurse him back to health over the next two days and he slowly became his rambunctious little self again. The next morning I found him face first at the bottom of his cage barely alive. He died in my hands about ten minutes later. This should have been a very simple treatment for a very common problem that turned fatal. Check your dosages. Birds are fragile. If this happened to a person there would be a medical malpractice suit. If I knew of any proper legal action I would take it. If you don't know how to treat birds don't accept them as clients.
We've been taking our cats here for a little over a year and they are great! . The prices are reasonable, they are always very honest and have always taken very good care of our cats. They can usually fit you in quickly, too! We
I noticed that these guys have some unfavorable reviews. I've only been to pet samaritan twice, but so far I've had very positive experiences. I've seen two different veterinarians and they were both very nice, friendly, and compassionate towards my kitten. The front desk staff were friendly, and everyone in the office seemed to truly like my cat. The prices are fair, and so far I have not felt as if I've been pushed into any unnecessary treatments. My kitten hurt her foot and needed an expensive x-ray, and the veterinarian made a point of discussing the potential expenses with me and told me they would work with me if I couldn't afford something. Very nice. Downsides would be parking (there is none), and size (the offices are tiny). This isn't a fancy place, but they get the job done.
