WORKS AT LEESPORT ANIMAL HOSPTIAL & IS MONEY HUNGRY. I don't typically write reviews but my cat Binx was my entire world. so in hopes of saving someone else's time & well being of their pet, I could not recommend turning your car around and going to the humane society on 11th street more. Specifically to see Dr. Wagner, out of the 4 vets we went to, he was the only one I feel that was genuine. Leesport animal hospital is at the very VERY bottom of that list. Which is incredibly disappointing considering Binx was their patient for 14 years & when she needed them most they turned a cold shoulder to her pain and suffering on her last few days with me. To make a long story short- Binx started gagging and pawing at her mouth. We first went to Leesport because this was her primary doctor. They did an oral exam, said they saw nothing abnormal & the next step would be an estimated $1,400.00 surgery to take x-rays and possibly remove teeth. They said the soonest they could get her in for surgery was a couple of weeks later. I asked to be sent home with pain medicine and they gave me 3 days worth. I then went to the humane society for a second opinion (as any pet owner would) where they took x-rays and noticed she had a genetic tooth resorption issue, but Dr. Wagner did not pull teeth because he believed from the x-rays it might be jaw bone cancer and referred me to a specialist in KOP (metropolitan animal hospital). As soon as they saw binx they said just from the oral exam alone they could see the tooth resorption & that was likely the cause of her pain. We got her scheduled for surgery that week - two weeks sooner than Leesport could. They also were able to take a biopsy to test for cancer if there was a biopsy needed to be taken. Flash-forward to last week, after the pain medicine from surgery wore off she was back to pawing at her mouth, inflicting pain on her already sore mouth. Causing herself to bleed, hiss, howl. I felt hopeless. I called Leesport pleading for more pain medicine to help her through the next few days before I ultimately had to lay her to rest (the biopsy came back positive for jaw bone cancer) and they gave me the run around for a full day. I had to go a whole night staying up with her where neither of us slept and she just stayed in pain trying to rip at her jaw. The next morning when I called they said it was a busy day and they would "try" to get one of the doctors to look at her file. After I lost my cool telling the receptionist she was not an animal lover, 15 minutes later I received a call back saying that DR. JIM PRIEBE was refusing to refill her pain medicine. Why you ask? Because we had to spend our money else where for her surgery, because I needed to get to the bottom of her pain sooner. AFTER 14 YEARS of giving this practice our money. It makes me sick to my stomach to reflect on, I was just looking for pain medicine to help my baby before she had to be put to rest. Thankfully Dr. Wagner, who had only ever seen her once, refilled her pain meds. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TURN AROUND. rest in perfect peace to my Binx. 09/11/2010 - 10/11/2024
