#JusticeForOnyx Our cat lost is losing his eye because of this place and we will make sure everyone knows about it.. To some people he is just a cat to us he is part of our family.. If it was a person this would be considered malpractice "MY CAT HAS TO LOSE HIS EYE BECAUSE OF THIS PRACTICE.... Brought in my 4 month old kitten because I was concerned, there was a grayish film starting to appear over his eye. I paid $160 for drops and they gave him shots he didn't need at the time. They said he had a "Corneal Scratch" and gave Corneal Repair drops and an E-Collar. I called about a week later to tell them his eye was regressing and that I was sure he had an infection or something else going on. I told them it seemed like a Corneal Ulcer. They said to finish his drops and come back and discuss it with the vet at his follow- up appointment. I told them this was not something that could wait, that the drops were not working something else was going on. They said I could come in but there would be another charge. I understand they need to get paid, but the fact I already paid so much money and you want to charge me when your the one who misdiagnosed really upsets me. I took him else where because I wasn't about to pay more money to get another misdiagnosis. I took him to a vet hospital in RI. They told me it was in fact a Corneal Ulcer and by that time it had already ruptured and was no saving to it. His eye now needs to be removed. At the hospital I was told had they caught it on time (which I brought him on time), he would of just needed drops and antibiotics and been fine. I am so upset I would never ever go to this place again for any pet. A pet is just as important as a person to me. I'm definitely going to look further into the malpractice they have caused. But I would stay away from this place if you care about your pets! My kitten will be ok and will learn how to function. We are lucky it's just his eye he is losing. Even though its just his eye, that is still a major thing that is going to change his life forever so really it's not just an eye.. It could of been prevented and as a pet owner we did the right things since the first sign of something wrong. The vet did not do the right thing!"

I have your diagnosis in paper work and I have the hospitals diagnosis in paper work. I can attach those images as well soon to come. -She gave a distemper shot which was not crucial to his condition. She persisted that he needed it and did not give the option to have it given at a later time. Which in his case could of waited until next visit.- We paid $100 which what we were quoted for was for visit and any medications not for shots.

And why would we pay a discount fee for a recheck emergency when you never gave the right prescription the first time? We do pay our bills hence we took him to a hospital and paid 300$ for the correct diagnosis vs just going back to you and paying 60$ to get no where. And he was seen by a real vet. Onyx was not seen by you Carlos or any of your veterinary doctors. He was seen by a technician. We paid 300$ at a hospital to be seen by a veterinarian and get the correct care.-The hospital was in shock when we showed them what you prescribed. As corneal repair gel was not something she would of given for an ulcer but infact something that would be given for a scratch. She said had he have been given antibiotics his eye would of been saved since we went in the right amount of time before it regressed.-Attached is a copy of my call history and more calls were made from my job so we did in fact call about this multiple times. * Its very sad that you people are a bunch of cowards to turn it on what we did and lie just to make yourself look good. As you are saying you did diagnos correctly , you did not. We do owe 31$ and also paid 100$ to you 300$ for a hospital visit because of you and a 1000$ surgery to be done because of your neglect as a veterinarian. Maybe if you paid more attention to your patients and showed more consideration and devotion. Your the type of people that dont apologize for your wrong you want to make the patients look in the wrong. Your wrong bottom line. To sit and make excuses and lie is very cowardly. But we have all the proof that you are wrong and are liars

Staff is friendly and kind. Always come here for vet appts and the surgery my dog needed 2 years ago that saved her life. We thought she had a bad cold because she was sneezing and her nose was running. Then one day she got very sluggish and wasn't eating or drinking anything and just wasn't herself so we took her in. She had a bad infection in her uterus and they told us if we hadn't brought her in that night she would've been gone by the morning. Kudos to them for saving my baby. They're always right on the mark. Definitely 5 stars and would recommend them to anyone.

We spent $700+ for the doctors to tell us our cat was fine and just had a little cold from an infection in her mouth due to teeth needing to be pulled. We could not pull the teeth until the infection and cold went down so she needed to be put on antibiotics. Just ten days after our visit here, we decided to go elsewhere because she wasn't getting any better on any antibiotics given even after spending all that money. Right on the spot just by looking in my cat's mouth with no other information the other vet told us it was cancer and in fact had nothing to do with her teeth. If we had stayed at fall river animal hospital we would have spent another $600+ to get her teeth pulled just for her to continue being sick because it wasn't even her teeth causing the problem. The vet at this other clinic did not need your diagnostics to diagnosis my cat as to what you replied to my brother. They simply looked in her mouth, saw the growth in her mouth which they said was NOT an abscess per what you told us it was, and that by the purplish color and lumpy structure that it was most likely cancer. JUST BY LOOKING AT IT. We then decided to biopsy it and found out it was melignant. They did not need the diagnostics of the blood tests you took to tell us this. We could have saved ourselves almost a thousand dollars if we had just gone to this other place to begin with. My cat went from "being fine and just having a little cold" as to what you told me TWICE during two different visits, to now being put to sleep just TEN DAYS after seeing you guys. So thank you for the misinformation.

This place is trying to hire the equivalent of a CVT for $10 an hour. Shame on them. I emailed them and what do you know, suddenly the ad is changed so the rate is not shown. I don't want someone who is supposed to be monitoring anesthesia on my pet having little experience and being paid well below the average rate for this area, which is $15-$20+. I say not experienced because no real tech would accept that rate so they are going to be hiring someone willing to accept that amount = little to no experience

Thorough and take the time to listen and explain. Gave all the information for educated decision making while on a budget and still provide appropriate care. Very impressed with the staff. Only downfall are the built-in concrete benches in the waiting room. Ouchy tushy.

Staff is friendly and kind. Always come here for vet appts and the surgery my dog needed 2 years ago that saved her life. We thought she had a bad cold because she was sneezing and her nose was running. Then one day she got very sluggish and wasn't eating or drinking anything and just wasn't herself so we took her in. She had a bad infection in her uterus and they told us if we hadn't brought her in that night she would've been gone by the morning. Kudos to them for saving my baby. They're always right on the mark. Definitely 5 stars and would recommend them to anyone.

We spent $700+ for the doctors to tell us our cat was fine and just had a little cold from an infection in her mouth due to teeth needing to be pulled. We could not pull the teeth until the infection and cold went down so she needed to be put on antibiotics. Just ten days after our visit here, we decided to go elsewhere because she wasn't getting any better on any antibiotics given even after spending all that money. Right on the spot just by looking in my cat's mouth with no other information the other vet told us it was cancer and in fact had nothing to do with her teeth. If we had stayed at fall river animal hospital we would have spent another $600+ to get her teeth pulled just for her to continue being sick because it wasn't even her teeth causing the problem. The vet at this other clinic did not need your diagnostics to diagnosis my cat as to what you replied to my brother. They simply looked in her mouth, saw the growth in her mouth which they said was NOT an abscess per what you told us it was, and that by the purplish color and lumpy structure that it was most likely cancer. JUST BY LOOKING AT IT. We then decided to biopsy it and found out it was melignant. They did not need the diagnostics of the blood tests you took to tell us this. We could have saved ourselves almost a thousand dollars if we had just gone to this other place to begin with. My cat went from "being fine and just having a little cold" as to what you told me TWICE during two different visits, to now being put to sleep just TEN DAYS after seeing you guys. So thank you for the misinformation.

Money hungry lying scammers. Went to another vet an they knew what was wrong with my pet on the spot and was even told that all this vet was doing was beating around the bush for extra money.

This place is trying to hire the equivalent of a CVT for $10 an hour. Shame on them. I emailed them and what do you know, suddenly the ad is changed so the rate is not shown. I don't want someone who is supposed to be monitoring anesthesia on my pet having little experience and being paid well below the average rate for this area, which is $15-$20+. I say not experienced because no real tech would accept that rate so they are going to be hiring someone willing to accept that amount = little to no experience
