Aberdeen Veterinary Hospital is a new veterinary practice conceived and built by Dr. Ken Gummeson and Dr. Diane McKelvey . Both are long time Kamloops residents since 1993 and 1998 respectively. After practicing in the city for many years, they sold their interests in an existing Kamloops practice and embarked on a new series of professional adventures. Dr. McKelvey moved to Australia, where she taught small animal internal medicine to veterinary students at the University of Adelaide. Dr. Ken Gummeson went to work as interim Registrar for the College of Veterinarians of British Columbia, (the agency that regulates the veterinary profession in B.C.), and as an inspector. In addition he spent a year doing locum veterinary work across the province. In the spring of 2014, Drs. McKelvey and Gummeson decided it was time to get back into private practice in Kamloops. They envisioned a modern, purpose-built veterinary hospital where they could practice veterinary medicine at their very best every day. With a combined 32 years of experience, they look forward to once again servicing Kamloops’ pet owning community with their knowledge, skills and expertise.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.....I brought Callie in because she was throwing up pretty consistently. I told the vet I was feeding her kibble and tuna. I was not aware but as a vet she should have been, CANNED TUNA IS VERY BAD FOR CATS and the vet missed the obvious. She said there were several things it could be as Callie was 12 years old and ordered blood tests for her. I went home and started looking for information as I began to wonder if human food which would contain more salt than pet food could be the culprit. I found an answer on the internet very quickly.....listed under foods your cat should never eat is canned tuna .....Some tuna now and then probably won't hurt. But a steady diet of tuna prepared for humans can lead to malnutrition because it won't have all the nutrients a cat needs. And, too much tuna can cause mercury poisoning. When I found this I stopped the tuna and Callie stopped throwing up. I would expect a trained vet would be very aware of this.
I called the vet and told her the problem was the tuna....she said that she should have asked more questions and should have determined how much of it Callie was eating....she said "she learned something from this".
BUT I am still out nearly $400....$256 of it for tests that were not necessary. Callie was found to have borderline levels for the beginnings of kidney problems BUT this is not what was making her throw up. Nice to know but not the problem. What would this vet have done when Callie continued to throw up....order more tests?
I asked to have the cost of the testing credited back and was refused.
I have always had very good service here before. Dr. McKelvey is wonderful, she saved my other cats life and I am most thankful for her and her skills. Everyone at the clinic is friendly and supportive but EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES....INCLUDING PROFESSIONAL, and when they do they need to take responsibility and make it right, that is the professional thing to do.
Dr. Gummeson phoned and tried to justify the testing and supported the refusal to refund the cost of the testing....and actually told me lots of vets recommend tuna for cats (that comment shocked me).
The bottom line is the vet missed a very simply diagnosis. I should have been told I was feeding her something that was not good for her and take her home and eliminate it from her diet then if the vomiting continued we should do tests. NOW I HAVE PAID $400 FOR NOTHING, (THE VET NEVER DID FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS I DID) AND NO ONE IS WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBIBLITY FOR IT.
MOST DISAPPOINTED IN THIS BUSINESS AND THE REFUSAL TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR UNNECESSARY TESTING. MOST BUSINESSES WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A MISTAKE BUT APPARENTLY THAT IS NOT THE PHILOSOPHY OF DR. GUMMESON. Read Less

Aberdeen Veterinary clinic has been AMAZING with me and my two dogs.

If anyone in Kamloops is looking for a compassionate vetinary clinic where the staff are simply in the business because they love and want to help animals and not just nickel and dime their owners, then I would strongly recommend taking your pet to Aberdeen Vet Hospital. Through my experience with Dr Diane Mcelvey, she has continuesly gone above and beyond for my cat who suffers from food allergies and autoimmune issues and needs ongoing bouts of medication. I know my pets' situation would be way more expensive and stressful anywhere else. I've honestly never had better service, and for that I highly recommend.Read Less
