Been going there almost ten years, I have six pets one of which gets sick a lot. I've never had better doctors or staff, 10/10
Extremely, terrifyingly disorganized practice. With an extremely unprofessional owner. Avoid this location. They don’t allow you to come in for tech appointments (which is the cause of all of their issues). My dog has only been seen for arthritis and has been put on a routine of adequan injections twice weekly for four weeks.
On one occasion, this clinic had given my dog the wrong service (gave him routine lab work when he was due for his Adequan injection, a twice weekly series for several weeks in a row). The owner blamed me, saying that When scheduling the appointment, I chose the wrong option. There is no option for the service my dog receives, nor is there an option for “other”, only a long list of services he wasn’t getting. The last option on the list is “lab work - other”, which I selected as it seemed like the closest option possible.
Instead of checking with my fiancé upon arrival, who took him for the appointment, or looking at his chart to see that he is “prescribed” a routine of coming twice weekly for a month for the same injection, they gave him the “lab work - other” which apparently to them is routine lab work… no questions about why I was asking for “lab work other”, just took the blood and gave the dog back without another word. I noticed when I saw the receipt that should have been $30 but was instead $200. One would think that the tech and or vet would reach out as to why blood work was being taken or what they may be looking for, but no. When I called and eventually brought the dog back, a very hostile owner/vet came to my car to yell at me in a very intense manner. He said my fiancé lied about the events that happened (that no one asked him why he was there) and demanded I call him in front of him. So I did. My fiancé explained to the owner that the tech did not ask why the dog was there. An incredible weird sequence of events. I should have left the practice at this point, which I threatened to but decided to give another Dr. a chance. I saw a great female veterinarian a few months later looking into next steps for my dog’s arthritis. She recommended a repeat of the same 4 week/ twice a week injunctions. We actually talked about my last experience and she said they would schedule all of the injections right then and there to avoid any confusion. I did that 2 weeks ago, brought my dog to the first two appointments and got the injection no problem. My fiancé took him for the third injection, no problem. My fiancé tried to take him today and was told that he “wasn’t allowed” to bring the dog without my authorization. A new policy? Since the 4 days earlier he was there? Disorganized at best. Unprofessional at least. So, they called me repeatedly for 45 minutes but I was unable to answer my phone as I am on a business trip (the reason said fiancé is there). They had my dog inside but wouldn’t give him back or the injection until they reached me. Finally after an hour, and my fiancé getting the dog back in the car after going inside the building, I saw the missed calls and spoke to an understandable furious fiancé. Baffled, I called and tried speaking to them to tell them to be told it’s “in my chart” (apparently since today only) that only I can bring my dog for services. More likely, the owner heard somehow that he brought the dog and not myself and decided to be unprofessional and impose a new rule to be petty. What a nightmare! If you value your sanity and your animal’s health, I highly recommend going to a more professional practice with empathetic and kind ownership.
