Great clinic. I've been to a few in the area and am happy with this one. Doc is great, staff are helpful.
When I got to the office in the morning, I was met with no greeting. I just sat down with the dog until they asked if that was Mamba. When we got back to the office, the assistant copied my records and asked me about her acting a little off. I gave her a detailed story of the happenings over the last week. Nothing really crazy, just wasn't as excited to eat and eating at later times during the day. I mentioned she did throw up once a few days earlier but that was it. I figured she had a bit of a stomach bug but that really wasn't why I was visiting the office. I was there to get a standard exam, make sure she was in good overall health, get her shots, and probably get some flea/tick prevention since she has been itching a ton.
Went here today bc my dog got stung in the mouth by a wasp. The Dr was extremely nice and very gentle with my 14 year old dog. Got me in super fast and didn't cost alot at all. Would highly recommend.
Anyway, after a little while, the actual veterinarian comes in and says the stool sample looks fine. Don't know her name because she didn't introduce herself or ask any other questions about the dog. She asked if she had eaten today, which I already explained to the assistant that she had not. The vet pressed on her stomach and based on that told me it would probably be in her best interest to get an x-ray. I am a loving owner so I obliged to paying the $120 to make sure she hadn't swallowed something bad.
I have never come across a more passionate doctor. Her intense desire to help the animals is unprecedented. She is a just, caring, knowledgeable and dedicated Veterinarian. Her team runs circles to keep her and the clients on time and on track. I have recommended her to many of my personal friends and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the masses. It is a small but effective clinic and they have always done their best to accommodate my schedule needs.
I waited about 20 minutes and she came back in real quick, said the x-ray showed nothing harmful, I am giving her a shot to ease the stomach and I will send you home with some pills and canned food for her. At this point, I am like uh okay what about the shots and have you noticed fleas, etc. I am basically trying to ask her real quick about the things I originally came to see her for. She said she didn't notice anything but you can have her take some benadryl if you want. Okay, and she's hurrying out of the office as I'm still trying to discuss the dog's issues. Lost cause.
To conclude, the assistant comes back in, tells me about the pills and has me come up front. I ask for the receipt to look things over. $250! And I wasn't even able to walk out of there with the shots, flea meds, or the yearly exam. I was charged $43 for that shot that I didn't give consent for and after looking it up, it is a medication for vomiting and car sickness! The dog threw up 1 time 3 days ago. I asked the assistant if I could come back in for the shots without paying the office visit fee (since I just paid all of this but wasn't able to get the shots). She of course said no. Paid my bill and walked out with no intention of coming back. Definitely made the wrong decision on choosing them.
Fast, friendly, and caring. Great experience.
I did not have a good experience at this veterinary clinic and would not recommend it to others. I am new to the area and passed by the office a few times while taking my dog to the local park. Since her shots were coming due, I figured I would stop in there and see if this could be our new home vet. I went in and told the front desk assistant that I was new to the area and wanted to bring my dog in for kind of a welcome visit, yearly exam/shots appointment. I wasn't met with a very good first impression but did set up an appointment for the following day. She asked if there was anything else going on with the dog and I said you know she has been acting a little off this week. She told me to bring a stool sample and I said alright.
