Despite my cat losing a bunch of weight and their fur looking matted, they didn't determine any issues. A few weeks later my cat is at the emergency room with severe kidney issues. Later I asked for saline IV bags from them and after a full days wait for a response they denied it despite it apparently being available online. A better vet clinic was able to advise me on the procedure for administering the solution and was able to sell it to me. Additionally, many years ago the clinic failed to diagnose a serious health issu... read more
We went there to exam our hamster, and the doctor seems like trouble with exam her. We need to see her mouth but the doctor failed to make the hamster feel comfortable. The doctor was bit by our hamster - I feel sorry. Other than that, the staffs are nice, place is clean. Just for some high tech staff that require experience with hamster, I don't recommend doctors here. Find other place maybe better for your small pet.
Vickie Swarowski, a practicing veterinarian at this clinic is in my opinion extremely unethical in her practice. My puppy's ears were cropped by her, and she did a horrible job!! The crop is noticeably uneven...so much so, that others have commented on the results of her work. I could never recommend her as a competent veterinarian!! My experience with her professionalism has been hurtful and shocking to say the least!! I will never use this clinic based on my experience with Dr. Vickie Swarowski
Pathetic response from this company & absolutely inaccurate! I found a VET that friendly, listens, treats the condition & most importantly doesn't try and UPSELL you! It's called compassion try & use it on your existing clients!
I would caution anyone who wants to take their pets to this place!! I read great reviews about this vet clinic & took my two rescue cats there last year. The staff is great & friendly. I initially liked the vet that took care of my cats, but then the following happened. Both my Siamese cats have dental issues. The vet started telling me that one of my cats would need a serious surgery. I went twice for check ups & some issues that needed to be addressed, & he kept pushing that the issue was serious & i should start thinking ... read more
Lifetime animal Hospital killed my sweet Maltese, Sara. I was told she needed a test to see if she had a certain disease. The test pumped cortisol into her body and it killed her. They refunded the exorbitant amount I payed to treat her, (an indication of their inexcusable treatment and ignorant diagnosis). After the injection of cortisol, Sara was hyperventilated and I could see she was in distress. I took her to an Emergency hospital who in the past always saved an emergency for any of my pets. Sara had heart diseas... read more
Once upon a time, this use to great. Not true anymore. Now owned by a Corporation, the cuddly feelings are gone. Recently, I was diagnosed with a terminal disease. I have a cherished little Shih Tsu named Tso Tso who has been seen by Lifetime for over 5 years. My dog came down with severe allergies. Took my pet to Lifetime, seen by Dr. Vickie who told me that in order to completly diagnose my poor dog I would need to spend over 300.00 for testing. I leave with a bag full of expensive medicines which were hardly afforable. ... read more
I had came in to get the rest of my puppies shots and I had asked if they could cut his nails as well. As I was checking out I was told the cost of his nail trim was $31 which is absurd. I had asked why it cost so much especially since I have 5 pound dog the secretary couldn't even give me a straight answer and gave me attitude. As I was given the rest of my change $2 of it was in quarters... not cool. Definitely will be going else were to his get nails trimmed and to a different vet when my plan is over.
I am not a fan of this place. I was told my cat MUST have several tests when the doctor KNEW the issue was behavioral from the beginning. I understand to check all the bases before diagnosis but HOW MANY? I lose total respect for Drs who only think about $$. No bedside manner, my cat was SCREAMING in the back --- he's never made sounds like that and came out wrapped in a blanket? I trim his nails...why so dramatic? They're also not educated on exotic breeds! I have bengal cats and I assume vets should know more about this br... read more
