Click to report rating    2/13/19   5     5     4     4   I wouldn't trust my dogs with anyone other than Dr. Andrew Forsyth. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring and will spend all the time you require to answer any questions/concerns. The staff are also very friendly and helpful and always follow up on any procedures done. RID: 67355
     7/5/14   1     2     2     1   They ruined my dog! She was aprox 11yrs old, extremely healthy, active bully breed, still acted like a puppy. I brought her in to have a small growth removed on her face. I mentioned to check her ears while under, she had been shaking her head a bit for the last day & I wanted to make sure she didn't have an infection. When I picked her up it was horrible, she was in a lot of pain, she cried for days and couldn't be calmed down. They told me they flushed her ears while she was under! Without my permission or knowledge! I was very surprised, didn't know any better so took her home. When I researched the procedure it is very controversial & can cause permanent damage to the ear drums if done incorrectly. That evening her stitches split open, I took her to the emerg clinic. They told me they hadn't bothered to put a 2nd set of stitches under the skin. Developed an ear hematoma. She's Never been the same, permanently deaf, never recovered. Cont to deteriorate, passed away 2yrs later :( RID: 52416
Click to report rating    8/19/13   4     4     5     5   I took my dog here after getting a very good referral from a friend. They were great and Dr. Forsyth really took his time and gained the trust of our dog (who is a California rescue) who has trust issues with men and they were best friends by the time we left. HIGHLY Recommend. They may have a bit of a higher rate than the other vets in the area, but in my opinion, they are well worth it. They even searched for a coupon so we could get one of the giant bags of dog food for free! RID: 46379
Click to report rating    5/19/13   3     4     4     4   I have travelled, to see Dr Forsyth, no matter where I have lived. He has been my vet for about 15 years. I trust his judgement and his passion for any issue that my cats have had. RID: 42581
Click to report rating    7/1/12   5     5     5     4   Andy and Tracy Forsythe are great vets. My first interaction with this vet was before I even got a dog. I called and asked if I could discuss a specifc breed. by the time I got there Andy had read up on the breed and had some excellent advice. In the 12 years since he has become extremely knowledge on the breed. I find the rotating other vets knowledgeable and easy to work with. The rest of the staff are excellent. I am never worried leave my dogs here. RID: 35353
Click to report rating    4/29/12   2     4     3     1   Checked the ratings of the hospital on this site, it was pretty ok, so i went to get my puppy checked. Once you get there facility looks top notch but staff are lazy, they dont seem to care for your pet. Doctors are freshly graduated, doesnt have enough experience to know whats what. Took my pet there cause she was vomiting over and over again and i had to call all over to get her checked ASAP. The Doc gave my puppy a general exam and look over and said she was fine just had some nasuea, and gave me medicine. They whole thing took about 15 min and costed me 150 BUCKS. We went home and she went to sleep. The next day she was lethargic and didnt want to eat or drink anthing. And since normal animal hospitals dont open on Sun I had to book an apointment at a RELIABLE hospital, the doctor said she had a fever and some sort of infection in her stomach, that they would need to run a blood test and get an IV into her since she isnt drinking anything. Never going to Como Lake again. RID: 33872
Click to report rating    6/10/11   5     5     5     5   I found the staff and doctors are friendly and very helpful. Always taking time to explain things so we know what's going on with our cat. RID: 25547
Click to report rating    5/9/11   5     5     5     5   We have taken all of our family pets to Dr.Forsyth over the years and I dont have a bad thing to say at all. with our last visit, I was in with my husbands dog who had bad ears. they took time to exam her and discuss her over all health as well as address the issue that brought us there. the staff was knowledgable and kind RID: 24903
Click to report rating    2/15/11   5     5     5     5   great staff and doctors. never had a bad experience and everyone seems knowledgeable RID: 22868
Click to report rating    2/4/11   4     4     4     1   My dog was taken to this vet by my adult daugher while I was away as it's the closest to our home. There was no discussion with my daughter about what needed to be done they only asked her if it was ok to run some tests. My dog was brought in because it was appearent he was in grave condition. When they reached me she had already had several test without the vet having seen her. I was told by the receptionist my dog was blind and couldn't breath so she was given something to ease her suffering. During that discussion I advised them to put him out of his misery and put him down. I recieved the bill for all the tests they ran and the vet never did see him. RID: 22584
Click to report rating    1/10/11   5     5     5     4   friendly staff and very knowledgable doctors. Good hospital hours open late on Wed and also open Saturdays. RID: 21947
Click to report rating    6/26/10   3     3     4     2   Took our elderly dog for years and had good and bad experiences. On the good side, Dr Forsyth is a good Dr. but it seems cash is more important than compassion. We spent many thousands on our dog but in the end, we found the vet offering services profit (redundant surgery) and there seemed to be a turnover of staff so we received misinformation at critical times. Unfortunately, after many years, we will be finding a new vet for our new pup.....I think cash rates higher than compassion here. RID: 18547
