Click to report rating    5/9/11   1     1     1     1   My cat was diagnosed with kidney disease in April 2011 after a routine visit. The staff took 3 days to get us the results (appointment was Saturday, they finally got back to us Tuesday), even through her diagnosis was critical. The vets seems far more concerned with money than they do pet care. Expect a long wait (hour +) for routine bloodwork even when you have an appointment. If you ask for test results quickly, they will tell you it's possible then won't bother to call you. RID: 24891
     4/18/11   1     1     1     1   This Vet told my mother that the cat I had given her, with her vaccines up to date till July of 2012, in April of 2011, made her revaccinate this cat. Her reasoning was that my mother didn't have the paperwork. My mother told this vet, that it was my cat and she knew that I had taken care of the cat and had her vaccinated. I had a sick infant and couldn't get to my vet's office to get the copies of the papers to them that day. They told my mother she could not leave with the cat until she vaccinated her again. It was the law. Since when??? I called to talk with the vet, she refused to call me back and then called my mother because I said I would report them to the BBB. She told my mother to tell me go ahead, that the BBB couldn't do anything to them and that I no longer owned the cat, so I have no say in what she the vet does to this cat. Where does she get off? Beware, they don't care for your money or your pet! Over-vaccinating cats causes cancer, she said she didn't care. RID: 24469
Click to report rating    7/30/10   2     2     3     1   I used to take my two dogs to this vet. i always had a really good experience with them until one time i took my little dachshund to them to check her for demodex since she was exposed to it from another dog and they told me her ears were full of yeast so they cleaned them. they did not ask if they could do this , but i took it as they were the doctors so they knew what they were doing. then she had a reaction to the treatment they used. so back to the office i went. eventually, i had to keep going back to treat the treatment four or five times. her fur fell out from the steroids and her ears badly inflamed. each time i was charged for a full appointment. after a really large bill and the dog not better. i asked for my records for another opinion. they told me not to return.i was never rude to them. they in fact did my dog a favor. now i go to beaver animal clinic and my dog is treated holistically.

Click to report rating    6/23/07   5     5     4     4   Dr. Martin is extremely knowledgeable and caring. Her bedside manner can be a bit abrupt, but she truly has the animals interest at heart.I highly recommend this vet practice. There are 5 vets in this practice, but yet it remains very individualized. You don't feel like a number, you feel like they truly care about you and your pet. They've saved my dogs life not once, but twice, literally. They aren't the cheapest place around, but you get what you pay for! With this vet, you walk out feeling well taken care of and you understand exactly what your animal needs in terms of both short and long term care. They go above and beyond caring for your pet. Dr. Martin even takes severe cases home with her to ensure they get the best of the best of care instead of leaving them unattended at the hospital overnight. She's one of a kind and her entire staff is just like her! RID: 4781
