Reiterating what I wrote on Yelp...People should know how heinous this place is.
I was referred here for a surgical removal of a tumor for my elderly dog, Biscuit. After leaving Biscuit there a couple days post-surgery along with a check-up a week later to remove his sutures, I noticed a surgical staple left in on his abdomen. Considering the surgery cost $5,000+, I expected them to do everything 110% right. This was a big mistake on their part. I complained with the manager on call that day, and demanded to determine if there was some sort of monetary rectification they could do because of this.
She mentioned I would definitely, 100% get a call on Monday to discuss this, agreeing that this was something that was not permissible. The veterinarian overseeing the surgery called a couple days later and apologized profusely through a voice message, claiming it was a big mistake on her part.
When Monday rolled around, the manager belittled the situation and called it an 'oversight.' They didn't think I deserved any sort of refund, and I was making a big deal out of it. I should also note that I had to pick up the phone and call them. They totally forgot about my case.
I'm a medical student, and if I would leave any sort of surgical staples in my patient in the future, I'm sure I would not hear the end of it from my boss, or from the patient that would be suing me.
If you don't want surgical staples carelessly left in your pet, don't go here. Read Less
