I have been taking my 4 chihuahuas to this dr. for quite a while. One of my dogs had neck and back problems, and this doctor referred me to a rehab center. Scheduled an appointment with this other doctor and within a few months I can see a big difference in her. On one of the visits, the dog started hacking (coughing) and asked if my dog was doing this constantly. I told her she has spouts of this hacking but more at night when she's totally relaxed. She was nice enough to take her stethoscope and check her heart and lungs. When my other Chihuahua wasn't feeling well around the 6th of Jan. 2017, I brought her to Dr. Bautista as I noticed her gums were inflamed. He checked her out and gave me meds for her and at one point savannah's name came up and when he found out that another vet had listened to my dogs heart and lungs, this evil monster ( dr batista) started to rant and rave like a monster came out of him. He was very unprofessional, yelling and disrespecting me in front of clients and staff telling me that he was her dr, and I should not have let the other vet listen to her heart or lungs. Not only would he not let me say a word but the more he kept thinking about it the madder s he got. He told me he would no longer be the vet to my four Chihuahuas and for me to get out of his office. I was really upset because after all the years I have been going to him, he finally showed his true self.I have never disrespected this doctor, have paid him thousands with an S - of dollars. This doctor (if you want to call him one) is a very belligerent, mean,unprofessional, person, which I believe, if he was a person with a heart would've appreciated this and discussed it with me instead of being an SOB. Upon checking reviews under yelp, all the negatives are true. If you want to save your dog DO NOT GO to this doctor. He is a mean worthless man. All I know, this was a blessing in the disguise.At this time I am so so so very happy I am no longer having my babies go to this SOB. Take my word for it stay away. On the other hand, The office staff including Liz is a beautiful wonderful person who really really cares about the animals. I'm sorry I won't be dealing with Liz anymore. I will let all my friends that I have referred him to, know about the situation that happened in his office and hoping they will take into consideration this unprofessional outburst and do what is best for their cats & dogs.
