if i could put 0 stars i would. This is going to be long but please read it all, i know i see a few bad reviews on something and think ah that wont happen to my pet there are several good reviews. If you even see one bad review i urge you to see a new vet! first off i dread that i have taken my dogs here for 6 years ( for shots and spayed) never actually had a problem where i needed to see the doctor. So my dog started to get very sick, fever, lethargic, lame on limbs wouldn't eat took her in. Dr Pam seen her and just her an antibiotic sent me home... came back less than a week later, still sick she said well just let me put her on a stronger antibiotic, she lost weight and still had fever, told me not to bring her back til she had a new symptom or gets worse well everything the same but i brought her back again anyways, lost more weight and still has fever, she took xray and bloodwork said everything looks fine $550.00 and 3 weeks later still no diagnosis, said well idk u need to see a specialist. So i decided to get a second opinion, took her to New Hope animal hospital yesterday ( which might i add staff was very friendly and the dr was amazing actually took more than 10 min with me and i didnt even have a wait time) He looked at her bloodwork and immediately saw abnormalities, he said he couldnt believe that the other vet let her go this long with a fever - gave her a shot for fever reducing and also an I.V of fluids b/c she was so dehydrated from not eating/drinking. He said she has a septic infection ( she was basically in septic shock) she had amazing results since i have been home, today she is starting to run a fever again, but i am praying she can pull thru, once u get to septic shock point mortality rate greatly increases. Due to Dr. Pams lack of knowledge and concern i may loose my 3 year old dachshund. I hope she is strong enough to pull thru i have a follow up tomorrow at new hope. All i am saying is i am sure your prob is different but please beware. and New Hope has ZERO bad reviews and i can see why! Also just found out today Dr. Pam had diagnosed my friends dog with kennel cough and after meds continued to cough, she then noticed the dog coughed and puked and there were worms in her throwup/ she misdiagnosed that dog as well, the dog was so infested with worms at that point luckily another vet was able to save her baby. Even if my pet does not make it thru all this i will continue to go to new hope for my vet care for my other dog, he has at least tried to fix what could have been fixed if i went to him in the first place. It just saddens me so bad if you pet is like a child to you will understand what i have been going through.. Good Luck Dont go here for your pet if you love your pet! Read Less
