If you want your pet have adequate care (I'm not even saying "good" or even "great" care) STAY AWAY FROM DR. RHEE. A few years back I brought my beloved chihuahua girl to him, because she was not eating. I dropped her off on a Monday. Dr. Rhee's office called on Wednesday saying that they cannot see what's wrong with her and that I should pick her up, which I did. But something was wrong... She still wasn't eating, so I brought her back (my BIG mistake) on Thursday morning, hoping he would try other ways of figuring out what's wrong with her. Well, I was so wrong. Dr. Rhee decided that his golf tournament with friends was more important and he left the clinic at 3pm!!! Later I found out that my beloved puppy had swallowed some cotton and that later that afternoon her intestine had ruptured after throwing up after much retching. If she would've been supervised they could have seen what was happening to her: After her intestine ruptured (after the strain from throwing up and AFTER Dr. Rhee had left), sepsis or blood poisoning set in: body temperature rises, heart rate increases etc. This all could've been prevented if Dr. Rhee would've stayed on the premises at least until the clinic's official closing hours. But nobody who knew what to do stayed around to watch over my baby! She died that night, alone.... from neglect!!!!! Her death was completely preventable, had Dr. Rhee stayed around and cared enough to check periodically on her, particularly after she'd thrown up. I find Dr. Rhee's actions neglectful, unethical and cold hearted. If you truly care for your pet, STAY AWAY!!! All I got was a phone call the next morning at 8am that my puppy had died. Imagine, you drop her off and besides not eating she's fine and the next thing you know she's gone!!! I'm still traumatized from that event and am to this day afraid to leave any of my pets overnight at a vet and any surgery brings up that horrible time Dr. Rhee had me go through. Read Less
