We have come to this clinic for years because of its close proximity to our home, but after our experience this past week, we are seeking a new veterinarian . Dr. Montana's bedside manner is poor. He lacks empathy, and does not explain diagnosis well. Our senior dog was diagnosed with diabetes, he could not get it regulated within the week so he brought us in on Friday at closing time to tell us we just need to put our dog down, and his levels "well it's just not good, you need to put him down." Did not go over his insulin levels during the week, kept being told everything would be explained on Friday, and it never was. He snapped at us when we tried to ask questions to better understand. It was like being a scolded child. Very rude and spoke in a very condescending voice to us. Maybe it was a bad week for him but there is no excuse. We were rushed to make a decision, and felt like the loss of our pet was an inconvenience to them because it was closing time on a Friday. I do not recommend for pet owners of animals with more serious health issues. Acceptable for routine visits maybe. His passion has dwindled over the years. I feel that if ultimately his diagnosis was euthanasia, we should have been contacted much sooner in the day, not at closing time so we could ask those hard questions and feel confident in our decision together.
