I brought my cat, Tigger, into this place with what looked like a urinary blockage. After reading some of the reviews I was apprehensive about the price, but I took a chance anyway.
I'm glad I did.
Turns out Tigger DID have a urinary blockage, and a bad one....but as someone whose finances were tight I wasn't sure what kind of treatment I would be able to afford.
The vet and techs on duty were incredibly gentle with Tigger and very open with us about the pricing of the procedures for the catheter, the labs and diagnosis, and the treatment options depending on whether he had a few crystals or actual stones in his kidneys. They gave him some medicine to help with his pain and relax him, which was awesome since he was already so scared. They gave us a breakdown of everything they would be doing and all the financial costs. In the end, though, even the most basic treatment was too expensive for us.
What they did next was wonderful. Truly and absolutely wonderful. They told us of another hospital that was known to be cheaper, faxed them Tiggers papers in advance, and recommended we take Tigger there for treatment. We then paid the office fee of $90 dollars and the added fee for the medicine they gave him for his pain, and went on our way to that other hospital.
To those people who claim this hospital is all about money, I say you couldn't be more wrong. When push came to shove, they cared more about my cat being healed, to the point where they recommended a cheaper place (and likely a competitor) instead. They put Tigger's welfare before possible profit. THAT is a hospital that cares. And it's that type of honest business practice that has now earned them a customer for future pet needs.
Thanks again, guys. I was able to get Tigger the care he needs because of your guidance. And I'm happy to report he's doing well and should be coming home soon. Read Less
