I feel it is unfair to rate this clinic so poorly as the care from most of the staff was adequate, if not better than adequate. The front desk staff were kind and compassionate, vet techs were efficient at the onset and all but one vet … More

I want to personally thank the front desk angel that took care of my boy Bud and I the afternoon of Friday Sept. 16th. I rushed my poor Bud into the clinic for what I didn't know at the time was GSV (flipped stomach). The compassion and … More

I feel it is unfair to rate this clinic so poorly as the care from most of the staff was adequate, if not better than adequate. The front desk staff were kind and compassionate, vet techs were efficient at the onset and all but one vet were pragmatic and straightforward in their communication in addition to being empathetic. However a business (and that what this is) is only as good as its weakest employee (or owner…unclear?). And if this clinic is to be reviewed based on the one vet I am referring to, then I’d have to suggest you find an alternative no matter cost or distance.
I had two interactions with Dr. Schell, while my dog was in EVCs supportive care (meaning my dog went to them for one on one overnight care while his primary care was with our vet during their business hours). The first interaction was not great. She didn’t like being questioned when I was seeking clarification on a procedure. The second interaction was awful. She came at me immediately about my dog’s condition and what my next steps needed to be so I wasn’t “going in circles”. When I told her my preference was to handle any decisions that needed to be made with my primary vet her approach got much more aggressive. I advised her I didn’t care for her approach in such a sensitive time which is when she turned inappropriately and unprofessionally defensive and wouldn’t stop coming at me. After telling her more than 3 times that I just wanted to make these decisions with my primary vet, that her tone was awful and that I didn’t need this right now she stormed out of the room, whispered something to the receptionist, walked away and that was the last I saw of her. 2 min later, once the bill was paid, someone came out, handed me my very sick dog and said “good luck”. It turns out, that what she whispered is that we weren’t welcome back (this was also relayed to our primary vet) For someone who claims to only be looking out for my dog, she allowed a bruised ego to guide her response and refuse further care.
I should also mention that while I was attempting to end the interaction with her, she came at me over the previous days bill and my husband asking questions about why it was higher than the “high end” quotes cost (which I should add was well into the multiple thousands at this point). She told me they originally removed the cost that drove it over, advised me it was because my primary vet failed to provide a piece of equipment (an IV line…over $100 for this???) and then told me she was adding it back to the current invoice. Which I paid without question just to escape the interaction and get back to MY priority which was my dog.
While Dr Schell is *perhaps* effective in her clinical practice, she has absolutely no business being customer facing. Her “bedside” manner is deplorable, her communication style is ultra defensive and this woman’s clear priority is the dollars and cents over the welfare of the animal she is caring for. I have zero problem paying for the elevated cost of emergency care. What I do have a problem with is cost gouging, the aggressive approach by this one doctor at an immensely sensitive and emotional time and the refusal of care because what…I hurt her feelings because I told her I didn’t care for her approach and tone? She, and this practice would be better served if she dropped the arrogance and worked on simple communication skills. Or quite frankly, stopped interacting with people all together.
My beloved boy passed away yesterday, shortly after leaving EVCs care.
I do thank the remainder of the vets and techs for their care for my boy over the three nights this past week and back in December for the same thing. Your kindness and compassion did not go unnoticed. Read Less
