The Best Vet Office
After reading some negative reviews, as a person with 4 dogs and a couple of litters in-between, Dr. Sam is by-far the best doctor I’ve visited. I’ve had negative experiences with many other veterinary hospitals, most notably Richmond Hill Emergency Vet Hospital, where long story short, he came in for a bladder-stone removal, by the end of it, he was released back into my care supposedly “healthy” with triple the original quote and they kept him in such bad condition sepsis developed on his leg without their knowledge which I had to bring to Dr. Sam to properly diagnose and get surgery on. Dr. Sam has never up-sold me on any procedure or product he felt was not necessary, so yes a urine-test or poop-test is not cheap, but neither is any part of owning a dog. If you decide it’s too much for it to be tested, Dr. Sam has never made me feel like a bad person for not going thru with a procedure I can’t currently afford, and will instead offer me free-of-charge what he thinks his best course of actions are to be. He removed a bladder stone for one of my older dogs, and went the extra step to have the stones examined at the University of Guelph so they can diagnose an exact diet to prevent his stone condition from returning, there is literally only 1 brand in the world that makes food to protect against this particular stone and he was also able to order it for me at a highly reasonable cost considering the science behind the food. His staff is also excellent, all the nurses are lovely and are genuine animal lovers.
I felt so strongly about how excellent a doctor Dr. Sam is that I had to respond to some of the negative comments. The Dr. Sam I know will never purposely mis-diagnose your dog, and as far as I’m concerned, he saved one of my dogs life and saved my other dog from losing a limb due to the shoddy care of another office.
And for anyone who really wants to complain about prices, please call 5 of your closest veterinary offices and I promise you they will all try to charge you way more for the same procedures Dr. Sam provides plus try to upsell you on a few more. I know, I’ve called around myself. Read Less
