We have used Dr. Corber for all 4 of our English Cocker Spaniels spanning some 20 years.During that time I have found him extremely professional, listens to our concerns and provides the level of guidance I would expect from a doctor.At no time have I ever felt pressured to any form of treatment. On several occasions we have rushed in as one of dogs has a taste for chocolate. The treatment and concern for not only our dog but for us as well, was extremely reassuring. I have no hesitation in recommending him. reassu

Dr.Corber seems to take extreme and expensive measures when he treats animals. He is quick to make drastic decisions and pressures you to agree. He also will perform unrequested services and will try to convince you later it was necessary. I had dogs all my life, and never felt so much pressure, anxiety and just a feeling that I'm being taken advantage of money wise when going to the vet. The fact that he has so many bad reviews and they all tell the same story says a lot. If you go to that clinic just don't pick that doctor.

I have been taking my elderly dog here for the past 2 years, and without Dr Keeley's help and guidance I would be lost, she has been supportive and kind and made my dogs health and quality of life the top priority. The staff is lovely and always knows who we are when we come in. A+ service!

I've read many of the comments posted and frankly, I'm shocked and in disbelief. I'm not part of the 1%, just an ordinary working person, who knew, when I got my dog that I would not just be working for myself but for my dog also. Over the years he had minor ailments and as he got older, he required more veterinary care. You get what you pay for and I can say without doubt, my dog received the very best of care at Mt.Pleasant Davisville. The staff are wonderful and you could tell they truly cared about you and your beloved pet. Dr.Matt Spiegle is a hero in my books, caring and compassionate and more importantly, practical about life and death issues and what is best for the animal. I've recommended this clinic to many and will continue to do so with confidence.

I want to share my experience that I had on January 17, 2014. Our dog was 14, and becoming ill. I made an appointment to discuss euthanizing her. I was very nervous because I knew that we were not going to treat her etc, but I thought that the vet would definitely try to convince me otherwise because as other people have sad, this is a very expensive clinic. It does always seem that extra services are pushed on the clients. However, we were met with a new and fabulous vet, Dr. Matt Spiegl (not sure if I spelled that correctly). He was so compassionate, informative, and loving with our girl and with us. He praised our parenting and met our concerns with answers. Not once did he suggest surgeries or treatment that would prolong her pain or discomfort. He ultimately let us decide and gave us his unwavering support. After we held her and said our goodbyes, Dr. Matt hugged me and gave me his condolences. When we get another pet, I will be sure that he or she is in Dr. Matt's care

I have been a client of this clinic for over 15 years & have always received excellent care for my dogs. My first dog was a bit of a lemon and Dr Corber guided me through each health crisis with compassion and expertise, did 2 orthopaedic surgeries with wonderful outcomes.All of the vets at the clinic always offer me every treatment option that is available but work with me to find the best course of treatment for my finances and wellbeing of my pets.There may be less expensive clinics in ths city but I believe that you get what you pay for & with this clinic it is superior quality care from everyone who works there.

I wish to convey that a technically good doctor can be bad for your dog/cat/... When challenged with questions or alternate, less costly solutions, Dr. Corber becomes exasperated and short. He focuses on rapid, full-scale treatments that are obviously expensive and result in a long and painful recovery for the animal as opposed to more natural treatment. I received more cogent canine allergy advice from the receptionist (who was paying too much as well) than Dr. Corber. I feel, based on my interactions with Dr. Corber that he is standoffish, makes his clientele feel bad about not spending fortunes immediately and most importantly, is not truly focused on the primary goal of care-giving and remediation of the animal's suffering. His goal should be to spend the time and energy to explain why a treatment is necessary and present the repercussions of the various lower pricing options to the animal. Rather, he demonstrates his disdain for a conversation "coming own to cost"

Not impressed at all. My cat was on observation at that clinic for 3 days, when I came to it pick up, the vet. didn't even bother to come greet me and talk (he only phone me to tell me it was ok to come pick up my cat). It was the receptionist that handed me my cat just like if it was a piece of meat. No sign of empathy.They couldn't even diagnosed my cat was dying. - he passed away following the next 36 hours.

I'm not certain why this clinic receives such a poor rating. We always received good care for our previous dog, who lasted until almost age 16. Our current dog, now aged 3, has a somewhat rare condition that the clinic diagnosed immediately, and we believed the quick diagnosis saved her life. My only complaints are the costs, but that may reflect the rental payments the clinic is paying in central Toronto, and the fact that the waits can sometimes be long.

If you love your animals please, please don't take them to this clinic!!! Even with a terminally ill animal you are handed over to vet techs who incorrectly diagnose your animal's status. I was told my cat was fine and to come back in 3 months, sadly I had to euthanize her 4 days later!! The only good feature is the receptionists.

I brought my cat in because of vomiting and weight loss. During the first 10 minutes of the phyisical exam my cat had cancer and needed a very expensive exploritory surgery. My concern was that no blood work, x-ray or ultra sound had been done and it seemed to be a very severe prognosis with out much background. I requested more research done before surgery. Even though many tests were done nothing was found so I decided to seek another vet for a second opion. I was smart to get the second opion because it turned out my cat has an issue with his pancreas and needed immediate attention. Becaue the doctor at Davisville-Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital was so focused on finding cancer he overlooked test information pointing out the issue. As a result my cat was hospitalized for three days. While I can't say the hospital was trying to take advantage of me finacially or don't care enough for their patients, I can say they are too aggessive and need more expreience treating animals.
