Daughter took cat that was bitten on head by pitbull. They removed a eye and sewed her up. Brought to me for care. Took it to my vet. She found a fractured pallet, jaw and a horrble infection. Jack. Co. Didn't bother with xray despite being requested. Gave wrong antibiotic for the injury and nothing for pain. This place should be shut down for the filth alone. Front desk gal was rude and disrespective. Take you pet there only if you dont love it. Read Less

What a terrible place this has become. I remember when we first started going here, and Dr. B had a genuine concern for your pet. I called yesterday with an emergency, and they told me to call next week. They were still open, but not sure if they would have time to see my pup.... so much for having a relationship with your vet. Could have at least offered pain medication or some idea how to ease my dogs pain until their bankers hours allowed them to be open... Read Less

I started going here with my dog about 5 years ago, and couldnt say enough great things. The older gentleman who I thinj started the office was great, so kind and gentle with the animals, they all loved him. I had an abused dog who tended to not like men, but she never panicked around him. Then about 2-3 years ago, the got a new vet and the whole place changed. I think the older guy retired. They were very nice (like before) at first then the service and atmosphere changed all together, they were very very pushy about everything, and made me feel like a bad person when I brought in a kitten I had that got sick. The kitten didnt make it (not because of them). Shortly after that I stopped going there with my 2 dogs and cat. I ended up changing vets. I just dont care for the lady thats there now. I realize they needed a new vet, but she just isnt the type Id want to spend my money with, or my animals around, she makes me uneasy. My family still goes here and has complained several times about simular issues. Read Less

Dog due for rabies vaccine on or before 1/13/28. Called on 1/25/18 to schedule appointment. Employee who answered phone had to check and make sure 3 year vaccine could be given due being a week past 1/13/18??? Employee (wish I had documented the name) said I could still get the 3 year rabies vaccine. I guess when youβre a week late, they can only give a 1 year vaccine???
So attended scheduled appointment today, and was told my dog could not get the 3 year rabies vaccine after all. I was more than a week over due. I asked why this was not told to me on 1/25/18? They said they didnβt know, couldnβt see in the notes who made appointment in computer, and thatβs how it had to be. I explained that I specifically came to this hospital for the 3 year vaccine, and could have went to a closer vet by my house if a one year could only be given. The doctor then said sheβs not allowed to give the vaccine because of being over a week late and something about the carrier related to the vaccination???
She then changed the subject and started saying I need to be more concerned about my dog receiving other vaccinations, coming back for teeth cleaning, heart worm, etc.. I the customer did not request these other services offered, only the 3 year rabies vaccine!
She walked away when I asked for an explanation as to why a one year could be given vs. a 3 year, and why another Dr. would have okayed this on 1/25/18.
Another employee said allowed communication in this office is poor amongst the staff while I waited to speak with this Veterinarian.
This office has terrible customer service related to looking for ways to charge more money and very poor communication amongst staff. Read Less
