I've been coming here for a few years since I adopted my dog, and I spent well over $1500 at this clinic. In the past 6 months or so, I have had a hunch that I was being ripped off. My dog started having pretty serious bladder issues and Dr. Brewster chose to give her super expensive supplements ($100+ a month), because it was "saving me money." I finally stood up for myself and discontinued the supplements and put my dog on a prescription diet, saving me $30+ a month. Keep in mind, it's not about the money. I'd do anything for my dog. However I am a college student earning little to no income during the school year. This was only the beginning. My dog developed a large lump on her shoulder out of the blue, so I took her into see Dr. Brewster. She poked the lump with a needle and immediately insisted that it was a "Blood blister" and to put a heat pack on it until it goes away. Flash forward 1 month, I took my dog to another vet because something didn't sit right with me. It turns out this lump was an extremely infected cyst, and there isn't really even such thing as a "blood blister", she just probably hit the wrong spot of the lump and never looked at the blood under the microscope to determine that the mass was insanely infected. I was livid that my dog had been in pain this long with such a severe mass that could've been treated long ago, had we gotten the correct veterinary care. Since then, she has had surgery to remove the mass, and it has been quite the roller coaster. Had I listened to my gut and gone somewhere else off the bat, my dog would have received the care she deserves, and I wouldn't have wasted 1000s of dollars that could've gone toward my education or my dog. If you don't feel right about what your vet is doing, I recommend getting a second opinion. Don't waste your time here.Read Less
