Dr. Ragi Boctor :-( i just had the worst experience with Dr. Ragi Boctor at the Signal Hill Animal hospital. I usually see Dr. Attalla.. She is great and informative, but she was not in when I arrived, I should've insisted on waiting for her. The staff at Signal Hill AH, is awesome. But, I saw Dr. Ragi Boctor. I brought my small dog in for a simple ear infection, in which he had 3 times in the past 13 years. The infection has always been treated in the past by cleaning the infected area and then antibiotics, I no the whole routine. That's why it was alarming that Dr. Ragi Boctor, after seeing my pup for 3 minutes told me my dog had allergies, he said his skin was irritated. I explained to Dr. Ragi Boctor that the skin irritation was the result of an eye medication ointment (Terramycin) side-effect. ( I was in Utah with my dog, and I had to take my dog to a vet. The Terramycin medication help, but the vet told me if my pup developed any of the side effects to discontinue and call him). My dog developed a bad rash, constantly scratching and I discontinued the medication, in which the rash started to clear up immediately. I told Dr. Ragi Boctor this. Dr. Ragi Boctor told me that the treatment for my dog was going to be over $300.00 for a vigorous allergy treatment that would include cortisone shots. I payed for the ear cleaning and left the office with my dogs vaccination history, and I'm on my way to my former veterinarian in Los Angeles. Read Less
