Total CROOKS!!!!! don't waste your time. First of all the heavy lady at check in is such a miserable C*UNT!!! You are better off going to a general emergency room hospital. You will get better service at a fraction of the cost. They try to up sell and charge for unnecessary procedures. They have electronic locks on all the doors and keep your pet hostage until you pay the bill. We brought our dog in for a bite that needed one suture maybe two, they wanted almost $700.00. A good friend of ours brought his dog in because she ... read more

Our beloved bullmastiff passed away in your care last week. In waiting for fine needle aspirate lab results from our vet, he recommended we bring him to your facility for further evaluation & same day testing results. Our vet called to inform you of our imminent arrival, mentioning that we might need assistance with our 135lb. dog. We were the only ones present in office just past 9am. The older female receptionist took my information. I was visibly distraught, she offered no support, showed no concern, & provided no encour... read more

Your response to my initial review is a complete and total LIE!!!! your vet specifically said she would not fill the prescription because she felt we were disrespectful to the staff... you manager said the doctor remembered specifically when I spoke with her. Now you are saying the visit was 3 months prior and she specifically remembered that? Sounds like back peddling... also you never addressed your "tech" being stoned out of his mind and smelling like marijuana? Why is that? Because to address it would be to confirm it? C... read more

Business response:

Joey, although we always welcome feedback because it helps us grow and become better, your comments are unfounded and slanderous. I have spent time speaking with the staff involved, reviewing your chart and looking over the multiple estimates that we provided you. These estimates were not simply, "cut costs" as you proposed, but amended treatment plans to help fit your budget. We always present the highest level of care first, the estimate for the care that we recommend, however, when cost becomes a concern, we do everything... read more

ZERO STARS this is not a veterinarian this place is all about money I came in there with a nine week old puppy with PARVO because I was referred to them by Northlake animal Hospital I walked in there they seem nice at first and then the lady walked in and told me IT WOULD be $10,000 to save my puppy I IMmediately told them they should be ashamed of themselves that they could charge that to give a dog fluids and bring it back to normal then they have the audacity to call me an hour and a half later and tell me that I left wit... read more

By standard, every business tone is set at the top, propagated all the way down to the first faces who greet clients at the front desk. Somehow somewhere along the way, they utterly failed to train the front desk to be empathetic (fake it if you must) as opposed showing the absolute goal of the business is to generate $$$$. If you are the unfortunate pet parent who must bring your furry child to a specialist (internist) and/or have your child taken care of at this business, pay attention to where they put the "silent praye... read more

As the reviews say, they are greatly influenced by the money aspect of your pet. Do not go to this place.

The MOST unprofessional place I have run into....and I've been a Foster for 30 yrs., I walk in with my dog in my arms and about 5 women sit there and have a meeting and not ONE acknowledged me until I asked if it is totally rude of me to interrupt their meeting.... since I'm her at an EMERGENCY vet. Their response was...we are in midst of getting a new system!! it gets better- they take my info while 1 girl tells the other girl where to click and meanwhile, I repeat everything 2-3 times. Now utterly frustrated I tell them to... read more

This place is THE WORST! My dog broke his foot about three weeks ago . At the first visit, I was charge for an X-ray, splint/bandage, sedation, the emergency fee, and other charges that I completely understand. My second visit was two weeks later and my dog had actually chewed off the bandage. Again, paid for the ortho consult, more x-rays, sedation, and a new splint. Then, three days later he managed to take the bandage off again and came for a simple rewrap of the splint. I brought the splint with me this time because I ha... read more
