We brought in our cat, who was experiencing aggressive urinary pain and paid the examination fee upfront. It was midnight, so not many people were there at all. We waited close to an hour and notified the doctors that he does not behave well in medical settings (we always have to get him sedated at the vet) before they took him in. They came out ten minutes later and notified us that he was not cooperating (which, again, we had warned them about), so they could barely get a weight on him. Sedation would cost $300+, so we refused and decided to take him to the regular vet the next day, where sedation would cost ~$100.
When they brought our cat back out in his cage, we noticed his blanket was gone, and a gross stench was coming from inside his cage. It smelled like he had pooped himself, so we asked about it and only then did they tell us that he did and that the blanket had some on it. They wouldn't have told us if we hadn't asked, and we would have gone home with a mysteriously soiled cage and no blanket.
The doctor suggested we could buy pain medication for my cat to help him with his pain until then, so we agreed. However, they failed to tell us that they would not refund the examination fee if we purchased the medication.
Doctors, technicians, and receptionists told us to return tomorrow afternoon when the manager is in for a refund since the doctor did not complete the examination. We were not available the next day, and the clinic is very far from us, so we called in a few days later, only for them to notify us that we were not eligible for a refund on the examination because we left with $50 pain medication for our cat. They told us to email the manager, but it has been almost two weeks since we emailed the manager, and we are still awaiting a response. Additionally, they refuse to let us speak with a manager over the phone whenever we call after 12pm (the specific time they told us a manager would be in). They claim the manager can only be reached through email.
Bottom line: This place is a scam that exploits worried and stressed pet owners. They overcharge you, steal your money, and then avoid accountability. We still contact them every chance as we have yet to get our $200+ back from the incomplete examination. Read Less
