This is a horrible practice that nearly killed our cat. Northview’s specialist misdiagnosed our cat with a fatal disease and charged thousands of dollars for repeated tests and treatments that made our cat far worse. We switched to a regular vet who made the correct diagnosis and treatments that dramatically improved our cat. What’s the point of paying extremely high specialist’s fees when they can’t even correctly identify a common cat illness? Judging from some of the other reviews, it looks like misdiagnosis is Northview’s true and very profitable specialty.

Overpriced, overrated, just a big corporate mess. Dr ms. mcafadden misdiagnosed my dog after a brief time . My dog was taken to other clinics who properly diagnosed her. The front end staff is indifferent, preoccupied and sarcastic

I can’t begin to explain how bad the services at this place are. They quoted me a price that was a thousand dollars higher than its closest competitor. All in all a very very bad experience

I have to say that I am so pleased with Northview. The employee's there are SO friendly, and the doctor's I've encountered are great. I've been taking my pets there for the last few years and have received nothing but good care for them. The building is bright and it's kept clean! Dr. Beebe is a very kind and skilled veterinarian. I was very happy with the knee surgery he preformed on my dog. I've also seen Dr. Pleban with my cockatiel, she is very nice and knowledgeable as well. The prices are a little more than some animal hospital's I've been to in the past, but for the care received, I feel it's worth it.

I have been taking my dog there for 5 years and I love Dr Plaben (sp). Although I do have to agree with the other posts. One time my dog had a bad ear infection and I knew he couldn't go the 3 more days they said it would be before he could get in to see the vet. Like the other posts before me I stressed that he had to be seen sooner then that and I didn't care which doctor he saw. They did get me in the next day and the vet he saw agreed that 3 days would have been too long with the condition he was in. But on the other hand I was able to use their emergency clinic and called during off hours and spoken with a vet tech. Both times they were wonderful! The price is a little higher then most vets but overall I am happy with the service there.

I had a pet mouse who ended up with Late Onset Megacolon related to being a Piebald. I called for an appointment to have her checked out & get medication, and they didn't give me an appointment for a week, even though I stressed that it was an EMERGENCY! Mice and other rodents die very quickly if they're not medicated in time, and the length of time that it took to have her seen directly relates to her death. Office staff refused to release my records to the other vet that could get me in in time, and I was forced to wait the week. Was told by the attending Vet that she had to be put down immediately becase I "waited too long to have her seen." They blamed me even though they wouldn't get us in on an emergency basis?! Also, I was charged an exorbitant amount of money compared to other visits with my mice... office consult plus euth. plus the BOX that they PUT HER IN! They charged me for the cardboard box! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Have used this hospital for specialist surgery and consults not available elsewhere. No choice. We are treated poorly every single time. Rude, ignorant support staff. High staff turnover? Ortho surgeon who may be "all that" in the OR, but does not listen and appears not to care. Begging an appointment with him is like requesting an audience with the freakin' Pope! Misdiagnosed my dog with a lethal, untreatable condition even as I was pointing out the many symptoms that were inconsistent with the diagnosis. She might have been helped by surgery at the time of the misdiagnosis. They have twice refused to see a critically ill dog (current patient) in a timely way; the delay the first time nearly killed her, while my primary vet and I *begged* them to see her a few days earlier than our appointment as she went downhill. No apologies. Aftercare/PT recommendations were nonexistent -- I researched it myself. Will go to Cleveland when we need an ortho surgeon again. Someone who listens!
