As a general rule, I try not to write negative reviews when I receive poor customer service, because I know we all have crappy days and that 99% of the time, "it takes two to tango," i.e. most negative encounters/confrontations are the result of both parties actin' a fool (myself included - I ain't perfect! :-P ). However, as I stand here (going on 10 minutes now) waiting for the receptionist to get off the phone she answered AFTER she helped (and acknowledged) the two individuals who were also waiting at the counter when I walked in 12 minutes ago, I have come to the conclusion that there are also times where vendors/providers/employees clearly believe that customer service is defined as providing service at the vendor's leisure and convenience. For example, in this scenario the receptionist appears to believe that providing excellent customer service entails: not acknowledging the individual who is literally standing directly in front of you; answering the phone that is ringing and not asking if the person who is calling can hold while you help the individual who has been waiting to buy one 17-lbs bag of food for over 14 minutes (as one of their receptionists did this morning when I called to see if they actually had the food in stock); and rather blatantly stating through your actions that, "I'll ask you why you're here when it's convenient for me and/or I feel like it."Honestly, were it not for the fact that this receptionist has acted in the same passive-aggressive manner 2 out of the 3 times I've been in this clinic (didn't see her one of the times I went in with our foster), I most likely would not have felt the need to write this review, but wow. LoL And while Dr. Malo seems like a decent vet and human being, the total lack of customer service at the front desk, in addition to them sending the only tests we ever had them run to the wrong lab (rescue organization very clearly and specifically asked that they send the samples to CA, but they sent them to MI - when the coordinator called to see if this was done in error she was informed by a receptionist or vet tech that, "the lab at U of MI is who we use, they're just as good and so that's where we sent them," again - just wow LOL) has guaranteed I won't return, and will advise my family/friends and the rescue organizations we work with, and support, to stay clear. Too many options available for people to be forced to experience such horrible customer service. Read Less
