The only reason I give this place a 1 star is the staff. The Dr., (Kevin) I have to say needs his license taking away. No compassion for pets from what I see now. At first I went to the place in Pittsburg, got shots for my dogs. Then recently my little dog starting having seizures. Took him to emergency in Antioch, which is an amazing place. After that, they said see your regular vet for a check up. Which I did with Apollo. My dog had another seizure a week later. So took him in to be seen by Kevin. He hardly checked him. My dog is a little Chihuahua, they tend to bite if they are uncomfortable. Duh this is your job you.... I will leave that unsaid. Well, he wants to say I think he may have developed epilepsy. Let's start him on phenobarbital. Poor dog had to take 2 times a day. Started it, dog was being weird, off balance, but from researching the drug that is what it does. Well a week goes by and still poor guy off balance, isn't pooping right so call them to find out how I can help my dog with this. Kevin wants to put him on my drugs. I don't want to, but I am not a vet and I am here trying to help my little guy. Well it helped with the poo but made him really bad to the point where he couldn't get up. So I call the Dr again, cause I am concerned this isn't normal. Kevin says, oh it's okay. No it's not... WTF. Mind you I call to have the doctor call me and of course he doesn't call back, I have to call and get a hold of him. Horrible I already paid you lots of money. Well, dog was still bad after 2 weeks I call again and we lowered the seizure medicine and it helped a little. Dog got used to the phenobarbital and I was thinking okay things are looking up. Well week goes by and almost time to take him in for blood work to see how is levels are with the med. But then again, having issues. So I decided to do my own research. The medicine for his poo was the one causing some issues. Tried calling vet again to ask some questions and of course no return calls. Then I bring him in cause he isn't eating or drinking water and just seem not to get better. Kevin doesn't really check him even in though I am paying him to check him, and takes him in the back and gives him meds and here you go, telling me he will be fine. This is BS. Gives me refills of the meds he is already on and ups the phenobarbital before the damn blood works comes back. Really? I take my guy home, continue giving him the meds and still not really that good. Ended up having to take him to the emergency again, in Antioch. The vet there took her time with him, we went over many things, she even called the neurologist I had an appt with on Aug. 28th. They went over some things and said it may be a brain tumor or lesion. And the emergency vet and I went over some things. She gave me some virtigo medicine, cause he was bad to the point where my dog was going in circles, he couldn't hold himself up, he was peeing on himself, not being normal, super sleepy and wouldn't eat or drink water. I took him home Tuesday and Wed the Antioch emergency called me and checked on him, which Kevin will never do. We had a long good talk and the quality of my little dogs life wasn't getting any better. So unfortunately I made the hardest decision of my life, and an unselfish one, was to let him go in peace and no longer suffer. So Dr. Kevin, if you read this, I would hope you would take your job more serious. These pets our like our children. You took this position to help people and their pets. I know you get busy, and may not have all the answers, but be honest with people. This is a life, a breathing animal who has feelings and can feel things. This is not a test subject. Spend time with people who are paying for your services, not make them feel rushed, or bothering you. Actually do your damn job or close shop. Your staff are very nice but I have to say you made me hate how you practice and I will do everything and anything to let people know to NEVER EVER GO TO YOUR PRACTICE. And I will never bring any of my animals to you ever again.I may have left some stuff out, but whoever is reading this, really don't take your animal here. Staff is great, but doctors don't give a shit. I spent so much money on shit that wasn't helping at all and Kevin didn't even try to really help. They should be sued! Read Less
