New client to this Vet hospital and after 5 months experience I won't be returning. The front desk staff are lovely, as are Dr. Reesman and Dr. Shattles. Unfortunately, most visits are conducted with Dr. Yeomans, which is the reason I won't be returning. After feeling overcharged for basic, limited exams, my last experience was an example of Vets in practice for the money. After bringing my 15 year old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix in for a nail trim, I wanted his eyes looked at where I noticed the beginning of clouding, to see if it was possibly the start of Glaucoma or Cataracts or something else. I understood an exam fee would be tacked on. But $57 to look at his eyes briefly, after I agreed to pay $30 for a Glaucoma test? Then offering cataract surgery to the tune of over $3000 per eye...on a 15 year old dog?? He didn't even blink when I said there was no way I could afford something like that. He suggest some drops that might help him see better longer, which he would have to "special order" and would "come in in 2 days" and would cost $74. I made the mistake of agreeing to this. Of course, they were available in 2 days. You can find them on Amazon Prime, no prescription necessary, as they are a vitamin drop, to the tune of $41! I felt like I was taken by a bad car salesman. $99 for an exam, a nail trim (Oh! I got a discount to $12 vs. $19 on the nails because I paid for an exam! What a deal!), and a glaucoma test. Besides the drops for $74 two days later. Another great previous Yeoman's snide remark, "Amazon, is not a pharmacy" (when I was considering buying joint supplements for my other dog and asked his opinion. Right...it's only a pharmacy for the VET who orders from them for non-prescription items...gotcha). If Dr. Reesman had her own practice, I would be there. But I refuse to return and be taken advantage of again. Read Less
