Over vaccinated my dog and almost killed her. Told me the bad reaction was normal. Had to spend hundreds more at the EMERGENCY VET to save her life. THIS GUY IS THE WORST. IF YOU LOVE YOUR PET stay FAR AWAY.

I brought my cat in and he needed to do surgery to save his life. I came in and paid to get an examination and an estimate.. they gave me the price range of $1300 to $1,900... I had to talk it over since it was a lot of money, luckily after debate I decided it was affordable. When I called back to make the appointment, they said that it would be 2,000 - 2,500. I can't afford that and I'm upset because they gave me false hope, and I tried to save up for it, I was prepare to spend the higher end, but now thats the expected minimum payment. I'm really disappointed. I've been going there for 14 years of my cats life, and I have no idea why they gave me a first estimate if there is a second one. I'm trying to find a more reasonable price range... I'm devastated hoping my cat can survive while I save up the money. I felt that they have always overpriced, but never felt to switch until now.

I do not recommend Southdown Animal Clinic at all, stay away. Dr Broderick intentionally performed unnecessary tests to inflate the bill to more then $1200 for a simple cold. They insisted on using anesthesia to take a simple xray and wanted to charge me more $200/xray. The overall experience was very similar to a visit to a used car lot, where sales person is very pushy and arrogant and just wants to make as much money as possible with no regard for anything else. At southdown animal clinic the Doctor will insist that you purchase his brand of cat food and if you refuse to do so or question any of his inflated fees he gets very defensive and rude. The same attitude follows through to his wife and daughter.

1. Unprofessional. Dr Broderick did not introduce himself nor examine the dog. Did not explain rationale for providing unnecessary and overpriced anesthesia. Used profanity and became irate when we questioned the need and fee for anesthesia.
2. Unethical. Known in the area for providing unnecessary medical diagnostic testing. Extraordinary fee schedule for common practices. Proposed bill for surgery was well over $1000 when our vet performed the procedure for $360. 2 Xrays cost us $533
I do not recommend even stepping foot in this office, though I stood there for quite a while before anyone even addressed me. Very disorganized and is recently off suspension for poor record keeping, which I believe he continued to practice through.

Rude and condescending staff, Very arrogant and unprofessional. Performed unwanted procedures in retribution for minimal harm caused by the pet while angry and without our permission which resulted in unnecessary harm and stress to the pet and then tried to charge us! Failed to inform us of shots being administered and schedule making it seem like the whole thing was a scam to keep us coming back and offering more un-needed procedures. We will never bring our beloved animal back!

Money driven practice, arrogance, fraud, false advertisment, added charges that are not warrented, staff manager is condecending, unfair reasoning, practice is unworthy of a loving pet.
