Dr. Beebe irresponsibly and foolishly concluded that our dog had late-stage cancer based upon a rectal temperature and feeling his body with her hands (dog developed some masses on body over the course of a couple days). Other than that, she had no (read ZERO) quantitative information in front of her, like lab results or a scan or a biopsy. She steered towards euthanasia (when asked what she would do personally) and her argument was that investing gobs of money into the dog would almost assuredly prove to be futile at “this point.” This is commonly a sound argument when considering the balance between the dog’s comfort and the presented condition (like late stage cancer). I’m not an oncologist, but I’m not aware of any cancer that produces significantly sized tumors (multiple) or growths (like the size of a super ball, 1”+ diameter) on a 6lb animal) in the course of 48 hours. We got a second and third opinion and both diagnostically concluded that our dog has panniculitis and that the masses are not cancerous (verified via biopsy). Dog also had an abscess on his skin (a symptom of panniculitis) which they attributed to a puncture wound. The animal is fine and back to 100% after treating him with steroids over the course of a few weeks. On a previous and unrelated occasion Dr. Tsai dismissed an abscessed tooth as simply a superficial wound - this is after I told her I suspected it was an abscessed tooth since the dog had at least one before and it presented exactly like this one did, a wound that won’t heal on the top of the muzzle. After taking the dog to a dentist a few days later, they spotted the abscessed tooth at first obvious glance without even being told about it. Pretty annoying to have a doctor doubt you when you know your animal better than anyone on the planet AND come with historical evidence of the same thing. This place doesn’t kill animals and they’re decent (Mary, vet tech, is among the most competent thus far) with minor things, but clearly Dr. Beebe didn’t know when to say “I don’t know”. If you’re needing a second opinion, I would have recommended this place, but in good conscience I cannot after she prescribed a premature death sentence based upon virtually no other evidence other than temperature and feel/sight. The paperwork we received from them for this visit indicated a different version of events (some literally 100% not true). The mis-accounting of events reads in a way like it was written in anticipation of a lawsuit. Among the inaccurate things written down, one was that they suggested follow up with oncology and other specialists. This is against the grain of what Dr Beebe told us she would do personally (spend the next few days with the dog, then look into euthanasia the next day or so). In fact, the suggestion of following up with specialists wasn’t even communicated verbally nor in discharge notes (only the staff’s notes contained this suggestion, which aren’t exposed to clients unless they ask for the records specifically). Last point I’ll make that smells bad is that they kept in contact with us throughout the dog’s ordeal (like they answered texts, phone calls very quickly) up until the exact moment we let them know it was almost assuredly not cancer and instead panniculitis. Then the contact virtually stopped from them. You do the math. Read Less
