I have been in the veterinary field for a very long time, and I am amazed. First of all, those of you that are taking sick animals to a veterinarian that you've just met- Why don't you have a regular veterinarian? If it is because you just moved, then that is no excuse. You should have gone to meet area veterinarians and decide on one prior to your pet getting sick. My dogs have been with the same vet their entire lives. One of my dogs is now 21- and I couldn't imagine entering another veterinary clinic and saying, my dog has this or that wrong with it. Secondly, you are writing reviews complaining about things the veterinarian has recommended for your pet. If you wanted a band-aid and an ice pack, why did you go to the veterinary office to begin with? It is a veterinarians obligation to recommend all testing and surgical procedures and vaccinations that your pet needs based on location, time of year, breed, age, etc. It would be ethically and morally wrong of him NOT to recoommend these. For example, if you have a new kitten, take it in to see him, he gives it a once over and a wormer and sends you on your way, then 6 months later, your other cat @ home is sick. You take it in, end up testing it for Feline Leukemia, and it tests positive, because your new kitten had it. What's your complaint then? I never knew I should have tested my kitten! Give this veterinarian a break. He obviously cares enough to respond. Do some research! Meet your veterinarian prior to your pet being sick or injured. I have been a veterinary technician for 18 years, and I my veterinarian would have made the same recommendations that he did- and if yours didn't, I would worry about your current veterinarian!

OK--I feel like I need to add my two cents since I've seen so many terrible reviews on here. Dr. Moore is a wonderful veterinarian, and has been nothing but kind to me and my dog, Ted. The last time we visited, he was very thorough in explaining how to proceed regarding my dog's allergies. He could have immediately brushed me off and told me to go see a specialist, but instead he gave me choices. I was very impressed. Furthermore, every member of his staff that I've come into contact with has been perfectly lovely. Every person I've met in their waiting room seems happy to be there. I'd warn anyone out there reading these reviews that, in many cases, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. Angry, disgruntled customers are more likely to write reviews than satisfied ones. I'd be happy to recommend Dr. Moore to any of my friends and family.

HORRIBLE! DO NOT GO! I really hate to give a bad review, but I have to when the treatment of my animal was so egregious. I took my pug to see this vet for a limp she developed. I was told immediately upon examination by Dr. Moore that she had a large tumor and that it was cancer. Much like the other review, I was told it was too late in the day to x-ray her and I would have to bring her back tomorrow. That first trip cost me $90.00. I took her back the next day and left her for x-rays. I got a call from an assistant stating that the doctor needed permission to do a chest x-ray because he thought he saw something in her chest. This, of course, was $100+ extra. Once I got to the office and reviewed the x-rays with Dr. Moore, he stated that the one x-ray of her leg was a “bad x-ray” and that was why he thought there was something in her chest. Why should I have to pay for a bad/inconclusive x-ray done by his staff? And furthermore, why would he charge me to do a chest x-ray based on a bad x-ray of her leg? Dr. Moore could not tell me what the mass in her shoulder was from the x-ray and suggested a $300 biopsy. He also stated he believed my 10 year old pug was in the “last year of her life.” My bill was already at $450.00 for the second visit so I declined the biopsy and opted to take her to another vet. The second vet checked her out and determined the swelling in her shoulder region had completely diminished and that it was most likely inflammation from a bite. She has completely returned to normal. I’m sorry but this vet does not know what he is doing.

Very old school medicine and highly opinionated tech. Doctor practices medicine on the cheap with old heart worm medication, old surgical technique and less than spotless facility. There are too many quality veterinary clinics in the area to deal with second-raters.

This vet's office is well-maintained, clean, and professionally run. They are, however, on the expensive side of things. Most procedures and office visit charges are a little more than I am comfortable paying, but they do a pretty thorough job of examining my dog and recommending a course of treatment when she had an issue with her ears. If you're looking for a "budget" friendly veterinarian, look elsewhere.
