    After three years I must now change vets. The office is a machine, too busy, too many rules, too delayed, too overworked, too large. The final straw was the last visit which began with our appointment not in the system (we had spoke to them twice about this), a $$38.00 grooming that did not touch her head hair. She was done grooming at 10:30 (I left her there at 8:00) but was not seen until late afternoon by Dr. Daily for "fleas." I called three times hoping to get her (I am busy and Spicy is 15 years old and does not do well with kenneling) and got a terse, "She is done when Dr. Daily sees her and we call." They call at 3:15 and I get there at 3:45. They were not ready, resulting in my waiting 25 minutes. I asked for Spicy and was told they would rather not for it is "hard to hold a dog while paying for the bill (that was not ready)." I believe this rule is actually because they want payment first so you don't walk out. BTW, that place has more rules than the Supreme Court. I said I wanted her now. They bring her, I wait some more along with others, I tell them I am taking her outside to pee. She takes the longest pee I have seen, really! I believe she was locked up the whole time and not taken out. We were given the flea med and told to give her the pill with food. When I get home I read the instructions that say to titrate the quantity to the size of the dog. One pill was for a 10 lb dog... mine is 4.8 lb, she got 1/2. The bill was as always, high. There was a $50 fee I did not understand. I was told because a vet saw her for wellness? We immediately see flees on her on the drive home and call the office to ask if the "immediate flea med" (not that one provided which is longer term), was given as was told and why we brought her in to begin with. No, they say, "we saw no fleas." The final straw, was when we brought her home she ran to the water bowl and drank and drank and drank. I do not believe she was given water for her 7.5 hour stay. I hope to be wrong here but after 15 years you get to know your dog. We will move to a local, one woman office that a friend goes to after leaving Sajo also. I am told that it is small, caring, individualized and sincere. I hope they do not become the money machine that Sajo has and lose the individualized and special care we need for the 15 year old, member of the family we entrusted with Sajo. I disagree with a previous comment on Dr. Daily. I believe he is an excellent vet who always treated Spicy well with good medical care. I wish he would close his eyes and remember the day when he was small and knew everything that was going on, treating each animal as unique, in his struggling little vet office that made him huge today.

    Absolutely the worst Vet I have ever been to. I never write reviews unless absolutely so disgusted with something I have no other option and this is where I stand with Sajo. The owner Dr. Dailey literally seemed like he was drunk or something when dealing with my dog of 13 years Jack. Long story short he performed a battery of unnecessary tests that lead to no answers and come to find out later they could have actually killed my dog. I spent well over a thousand dollars and did not even leave with medicine for my very sick dog and was told to bring him back tomorrow for more tests because the ones they did they messed up and could not get results. They went above and beyond to try and talk me into boarding him overnight and pressuring me to sign up for their credit card...it was ridiculous!!! So after lots of tests and money I had an even more weary dog, no answers, no medicine and them still wanting to get in my pockets for money. I of course collected all of my records and took my pet to Strawbridge Animal Hospital and it was absolutely a wonderful experience during a very difficult time.

  • We have been going to SAJO for 10 years even though it's not as geographically convenient as other vets. Every time we've called around to treat foster/rescue dogs we've had (I always do a price check), SAJO had better prices and offered us a multi-pet discount. Great prices, caring staff, and wonderful grooming. We have only used their boarding facilities a few times, but our pets came home happy so we were happy.

    I don't know who Skip Schmidt is but he/she must be bitter about something and seeking revenge, retribution, or looking to defame the Sajo Farm Veterinary Hospital name. I have not been to every animal hospital in the area, but of the clinics I have been to and the few I have heard about from other people, Sajo Farm is by far the best I have ever been to. The staff is very knowledgeable and their office always has a pleasant and inviting feel. Since Julie's departure, there has been a different vibe that seems to have positively affected the staff. I am not saying that this has anything to do with Julie's absence, in fact I had several very positive interactions with her. Even when Julie, the old "office manager", was working there I was treated with respect and professionalism. I trust the entire staff at Sajo Farm from the receptionists all the way up to the doctors. They are all very willing to help and I would, and do, recommend Sajo Farm to anyone who is looking for a vet. If you are looking for a great vet for your companion animals then you should try Sajo Farm, you will not be disappointed.

    Friendly staff and short wait. I have noticed the high staff turnover that some of the other reviewers mention, but it hasn't impacted the service. I just wish the prices weren't so high. Even with the multi-pet discount, they're more expensive than my former vet ... and they do put a lot of effort into plugging the pet foods they sell.
