I honestly wouldn't know what to do without the amazing staff at this hospital. I just rescued a 3 year old, traumatized German Shepherd who is fearful of getting in and out of cars, stepping up side walks and entering any sort of building. The team has been incredibly patient and calm with her throughout the entire visit, as well as innovative. Bailey didn't want to get inside, so they moved her onto a blanket and ran most tests outside in their parking lot. Thank you so much. Read Less

Very disappointed in the treatment my parents have received. After over 25 years taking their animals to this clinic, their dog was hurt during a *wellness check up* and the doctor *lied* about it. Worse, the vet then claimed that my mother had said the dog was "licking herself" and hurt *before* they came in, which is patently untrue. My parents are very reasonable and loyal people. Had the doctor simply admitted that she'd made an error (e.g. Cut too close when shaving the dog? Applied the wrong salve? etc.) they'd have been more than forgiving. But, to have the doctor first claim to not even notice the difference in the dog's behavior after bringing the dog back into the room, then having her try to blame the pained behavior on all sorts of vague possibilities, and then later *lying* about what my mother said (and claiming the dog came in with a pre-existing, painful problem) was just too much. Obviously, my parents are looking for a new vet. My mother has rheumatoid arthritis. She struggles so with her own health. She doesn't need or deserve to be lied about, nor to have her beloved dog put in pain (my parents dote on that dog.) I would be very concerned about a vet office that would do something like this rather than own up to an error, no matter how good they are otherwise. It is particularly sad that they'd do this to long-standing customers of over 25 years. (My parents loved Dr. Mc Kittrick, who is now retired, and owned Eastridge for most of that 25 years). It is a matter of integrity.Read Less

Love Eastridge, where they definitely put our animals first. When our stray kitty found us, we took her in to be checked over and the Doc took about 30 minutes with her and us. She explained everything she was doing during the exam, was gentle and careful with our girl and offered a discount for her spay if we decided to 'rescue' her. We did keep her and Eastridge did a great job with her spay. Now she takes care of our other little guy, too.

Ive been fostering a cat for the local rescue. Today was a day she was to get microchipped, a procedure that should have only taken 10 minutes at the most. She had already been fully vetted and was perfectly healthy. Having never stepped foot outside, since her last vet Visit 2 months ago. I offered to stay so I could bring the animal home, and they said that because she was a rescue cat, she would have to wait. I informed the Rescue that She was terrified of cages, As well as the woman who took the cat from me. They left her in the cage, from 830AM till 6Pm. And rather than let me help them calm the frightened animal down, they chose to try and microchip her as fast as they could because it was 30 minutes past their closing time. Insisting that they give the animal a full exam, which wasnt needed considering I'd already PAID a vet to give her a check up, Thus aggitating the poor cat even more, causing her to lash out in terror and scratch the Vet. They stopped trying to microchip her and handed her back to me telling me I had a vischious animal and that she couldnt be placed with the Rescue. As soon as the cat was in the car and out of the carrier she was calm and handleable. Now they've sentenced this cat to death by their hasty and irresponsible behavior. They have caused me to be stuck with a feline that Ive spent over 100$ on to fully spay and get shots, because the Rescue PROMISED they would take her. Now they've compounded her terror of cages and crates and I'll never be able to place her in a home because of her traumatic experience. So THANK YOU VERY MUCH East Ridge Veterinary Clinic for your Callous and hasty treatment of an animal that deserved just as much tender care as your paying customers. If I'd known this was how you would have treated her, i would have Stayed in the office and PAID for the damned Microchip if it meant you treated her kindly and with the same decency as your paying customers. I do not recommend this Vet to ANYONE. Period. Read Less

Great Vet. I have many dogs who are seniors so I visit her often. One of my dogs never liked any of the vets we took him to until we started seeing Dr. Reese. She put him at ease the very first visit. All of my dogs absolutely love her. She's very honest and never tries to ring up the bill by recommending unneeded tests or procedures. Her diagnoses have been spot on every time which is more important than anything. She's highly recommended. Read Less
