It is my pleasure to write this review in support of Dr. Hall. Animal Dental Clinic has been a part of our pets’ lives for several years. Dr. Hall has been caring for my pets, since Dr. Williams’s retirement, and I am 100% pleased with the results. Dr. Hall works very hard for our pets and has their best interest in mind. My second encounter with Dr. Hall involved our second eldest cat that needed full extractions due to severe gum disease (not my fault – bad genes/bad gums). I was a nervous wreck and making it all about me. After Dr. Hall explained the pain our cat was in and her inability to eat, I knew the answer: full extraction. I put my trust in Dr. Hall’s skills, talent and education, and thankfully it paid off; the results were nearly instantaneous resulting in increased appetite and playtime. Our general veterinarian was very pleased with the improvements in our cat’s weight and attitude. It is now 2013 and the little girl will be celebrating her 19th Birthday… oh yes, PLAYTIME it’s ON!!! I do know Dr. Hall considers our animal’s interests and what is best for them. In my opinion he is dedicated to his profession, and trade. While it is a business, it is one he takes great pride and care in. I would be hard pressed to go to another animal dentist, despite the fact that they are few and far between. Animal Dentistry is a highly skilled profession.

We were long time patients of Dr. Williams and saw Dr. Hall twice over the last 2 years for emergency care. He refused to do dental surgery on one of our cats and was able to let us know that the cat was severely sick with kidney disease which our regular vet missed. Dr. Hall said the dental treatment would be too risky even though our cat had an abscess. Instead he gave us antibiotics and some pain killers and suggested a specialist for kidney disease and thanks to Dr. Hall, our cat lived an extra couple of months. To me the sign of a good doctor is someone who knows the risks and limits and presents them to their clients and doesn't push for a treatment that may be harmful. Dr. Hall did just that. I have a lot of respect for him and aside from that incident, our other pets who see him (all seniors) have been treated very well by him. As an aside - many local vets bring their pets to see Dr. Hall as they did to Dr. Williams - even if they performed dental work on other pets.. To me that's a sign. If a vet who does dental work, takes their own pets to a board certified veterinary dentist - that means they trust him more than they trust themselves to do dental work... and that's where I'm going to bring my pets too.

(Google posts 5 stars, no matter what you select.) Anesthesia and surgery are serious business for any creature--lots of things can go wrong. Three days after a full-mouth extraction, our pet was dead. It was not a good way to go: intense pain, internal bleeding, severe dehydration. It was searing to watch her. What’s more, you’re paying for a process—not an outcome. As the Clinic will point out (should you have a similar opportunity), they “rendered a service.” So sorry for your loss. We contend that the Dental Clinic took a poor approach and offered poor advice that led directly to the animal’s suffering and death, despite emergency care elsewhere. (Yes, the Clinic contends otherwise.) Unfortunately, reading this, you’re not really able to judge. But undoubtedly—had we not involved her with the Dental Clinic--the animal would still be alive today, with some options. Even direct euthanasia would have been far more humane. Brutal experience.

Your local vet should NOT be doing your pet's dental work! Animal Dental Clinic has a person just to monitor heartbeat and anesthesia (which is very risky for many small or older animals), plus they insist on taking preliminary x-rays to be sure your animal doesn't have complicating conditions. Most local vets don't have nearly the experience, and don't spend the money on proper monitoring during the procedures -- a recipe for disaster. If you've ever had a cat or small dog who seemed terribly "druggy" after a dental cleaning, they probably got over-anesthetized due to lack of monitoring or experience.

Overpriced AND poor service. I had a terrible experience with Dr. Hall. I was a loyal client of Dr. Williams for over a decade; he took the utmost care of my foster pets and I trusted him implicitly. I think he has retired. I expected the same from Dr. Hall but was sadly disappointed. I scheduled the first appointment for the day (7:00am) yet surgery for my pet was not performed until after closing. My pet had no food and water for over 24 hours! When I asked about the delay in treatment, the office manager stated that the doctor made his own schedule. Shame on you for the prices you charge and the service you give! If you choose not to use your regular vet for dental treatment, there are better choices than Dr. Hall.
