Hi, I write this to beg you not to take your animals here. Dr. Reimer botched my little dog’s surgery and he almost died 36 hours later. I brought him to the animal ER unresponsive. A vet there told me that he would be dead by the end of the day unless he undergoes emergency surgery to fix the damage and clean the abdominal cavity. I was told he had 60-70% chance of survival. Thankfully the veterinarians there were able to stabilize him and fix the damage. He had to spend a week in the ER recovering. The cost, including Dr. Reimer’s botched surgery, ended up being close to $12,000. I asked to speak with Dr Reimer but was not allowed. I was told that she kicked me out of the clinic because I was not happy with the care my dog received. Of course I was not happy, she almost killed him. I have been bringing my pets to this clinic for more than a decade to see their long-term vet Dr. Rasmussen, and I had never been anything but polite and respectful. No matter, Dr. Reimer, being one of the clinic owners, simply refused to speak with me and kicked me out. I am beyond offended. As for the costs, I asked the Central Valley Clinic to reimburse me for 1. The botched surgery performed by Dr. Reimer, and 2. the cost of the emergency surgery and the subsequent hospital stay. I got nothing. A hospital manager sent me an email informing me that they accept no fault and financial responsibility. When I brought my dog to the ER I had two choices, either pay or let him die. I wasn’t going to let him die because of what she did. Thank God I had enough room on my credit card to pay, but now I am literally financially ruined. I elected not to pay my property taxes and strata fees so my dog can live. I can not understand how Dr. Reimer can deny fault and financial responsibility for a surgical mistake she made. I beg you to please take your animals somewhere else. Read Less
