Click to report rating    10/30/16   5     5     5     5   Dr. Zutrauen and her staff were excellent in their care of our very sick kitty. The Doctor met us at the clinic late on a Saturday night and basically saved our kitty's life. Throughout his long recovery they were all kind, knowledgeable, and caring. We were listened to and communicated with about the treatment for his pancreatitis with such positive results. RID: 61919

 5/5/16   1     1     1     1   I wish I would have read this forums posts before I visited this vet. The workers seem like they care but the Vet (Karen) just does this for the money! I took my cat in that had just starting throwing up a lot that day we brought him in. When we got there she blew it up and made it feel like it was the end of the world. That his liver was bad his kindneys were bad and just shoved him full of 1500 dollars worth of meds and borded him for a few days. Brought him home and he was fun except super groggy from the drugs and super hungry. She gave us these anti-biotics to give him everyday and when we started them he lost his appetite completely. I called and asked them if the meds were to suppress his appetite and said no. I wanted to take him off of the meds because he was not reacting well to them and the assistant just wanted me to rbing him in for another thousand dollar crap shoot that this lady does! Save your money and avoid this Vet clinic!!! RID: 60495

 12/2/15   5     5     5     5   Dr Zutrauen is very knowledgable and very dependable. She likes to speak for her patients because not all owners know what is needed for their pets. She may come off as a little strong sometimes but it's all for your pets' benefit. Her prices are reasonable for her service, knowledge and dedication. She even brought home post surgery patients back to her own home to make sure everything goes smoothly. Difficult clients may view her as "all about money" due to the fact they aren't willing to spend some money to maintain their cats health but spend it on their vacations instead so of course it would be a little upsetting as a doctor to see one of their patients being neglected. The clinic always think about if the benefits/quality of life from the treatment offered outweighs the stress put on them from the procedure. I would recommend coming here if you are dedicated to your cats health. If not, you may find them annoying as they like to help you keep track of your cats' needs. RID: 59137

     9/2/13   1     3     3     1   We were bullied by Karen who insisted we put our cat on insulin which we bought and took home. They called twice and left messages. When we returned the call, she demanded we bring our cat in at once for an exam, we refused and she threatened to contact the SPCA, which she did. We had already taken our cat to a different vet the previous week and tests were done and she was put on a high protein low carb diet and has been fine ever since, with NO insulin. RID: 46696
Click to report rating    6/3/13   3     3     1     1   I thought I was the only one with a problem.if you are wealthy ,go there,if not,don't even bother.the vet is rude,and always making me feel that I am a bad pet owner because I can't afford all the tests she wants to do.she even told I should budget my money better to afford them.they also phone you constantly to badger you into making another appt.they constantly up there prices as well.You usually have to wait in the exam room about a extra 20- 30 min. For her to show up! RID: 42890
     1/28/13   2     4     3     1   Very rude and changed the prices From one bill to the next bill within a half an hour Time span. The veterinarian she was very rude and disrespectful I like seriously not recommend anybody going to this Veterinarian. RID: 39988
Click to report rating    9/3/12   1     2     2     1   Karen Zutrauen did not seem to have any empathy for my 20 year old cat, but only about how much money she could soak me for. She wanted me to bring her in twice a week for a very expensive and painful procedure, which left the poor cat with a stomach full of water slooshing on the floor. My cat howled through the whole 10 minute procedure and was terrified just getting in the car to get there. That's not how to treat a beloved old lady who had a good life in good health for 20 years. I was so horrified with how Karen treated her that I could never go there again or recommend her to anyone who cares about their pet friends. RID: 36983
     3/31/11   2     2     3     3   Staff rude and gossipy. Covered up their incompetence with botching prescription dosages. Raising the dosages unneccessarily. Wrote false things about me in their client reports and forwarded to new vet. Vet herself knowledgable, but many disgruntled customers affected the staff and quality of care. RID: 24010
Click to report rating    12/31/10   5     5     4     5   Dr. Zutrauen is a fabulous veterinarian. Very knowledgeable. Some vets may not have great people skills (although I find her people skills okay), but knowledge and experience are way more important in my opinion. RID: 21707
Click to report rating    12/27/10   2     2     3     1   Dr. Zutrauen has lately become all about the $. She and the staff constantly guilt owners into expensive, unnecessary procedures. I would NEVER go here again. RID: 21604
Click to report rating    4/12/09   1     3     2     1   This is a warning to all pet owners who actually care about their cats and are not made of money. Don't bother going to this place. RID: 12410
Click to report rating    2/24/09   4     3     2     2   Again, the veterinarian was not personable and I receive constant phone calls. If the service is good I will come back... stop calling. RID: 11804
Click to report rating    2/10/09   2     3     3     1   I hate to rate the staff poorly, it's really just the vet. She has poor social skills with actual people. Also, the office phones me constantly despite me never answering and even hanging up on them. They are all about money. RID: 11557
Click to report rating    6/30/08   3     4     4     4   very informative but somewhat too expensive for any procedures. i gave 3 for staff because i overheard the staff were gossiping another client with the vet about the client requesting a financial plan to pay off the expensive bill. RID: 9114
