Beware of Green Valley Veterinary in Yucaipa!!!I don't like being lied to, and I don't like being taken to the cleaners, both of these things happened about 20 minutes ago, when I picked up my dog, from Green Valley Veterinary in Yucaipa.3 weeks ago I made an appointment to have dog's teeth cleaned, and his nails trimmed. Green Valley Vet used to have a special, on teeth cleaning, in Feb to March, when I called, the person on the phone said that they didn't "do specials" anymore, and that it was the low "special" price all the time now. LIE!!When I signed in, and after I signed the form, I was never told what the Actual Price was, (every other vet I've ever been to, lets you know up front, how much a procedure will be), I assumed, (Stupid Me), that it was the $175 "special" (which we'd had done, just last year, and included everthing for a teeth cleaning), because that was supposedly the everyday price now.WRONG!!Stupid to assume, but I'd always been told in advance, wether something was a "special" or not, how much a procedure would be, and usually in writing. Not this time, and now I know why.They asked me to sign one more form, that stated that the bill "could be up to $585", if multiple extractions were necessary. The young woman assured me that if that were true, they would call me first. When I went to pick my dog up, the bill was over $400. "Did you do a tooth extraction?!?", was my incredulous exclamation."Oh no, his teeth were fine." I was then informed that the procedure, alone, was $225. When I asked why so high, if it was supposed to be THAT "special" price all the time now, I was told."Oh, we have the special until the end of March, it's over now."So, when I made the appointment, the "person" on the phone, not only lied to me, but neglected to inform me that they actually DID have a special, and that it would end, 3 days AFTER my appointment. They Didn't Even Kiss Me!!!!So basically, I had to ransom my dog back, from Green Valley Veterinary in Yucaipa.Needless to say, we will never darken their doorstep, nor fatten their bank account, ever again.
