A love note of thanks to Evil Dr. INJustis and the INJustis League.....aka.Poplar Animal Hospital
I cannot believe that Poplar Animal Hospital is not under investigation for ethics violations. Last September I took my dog Jasper, a border collie mix rescue in to be examined by our vet Dr. INJustis, for a fatty, cyst-like growth that was small, 9x9 cm to be exact. Dr. INJustis tells us that to have it removed would be $530. She advised us however that if it wasn't causing pain or hindering is functionality that it might be best to leave it alone and IF it ever got bigger, we could proceed with surgery. The growth is now the size of a small cantaloupe. It did not grow much at all for a long period of time but over the past 3ish months really took on size.
Fast forward to 2 days ago, Monday July 2. My wife went to the office to gather some information about the surgery, confirm costs from before and ask about financial options since our situation has changed drastically from September. She came home visibly upset and informed me that the girl at the desk must be new because she was rude and short with my wife.
So I get Jasper and drive to the office so that they could see that this is an issue and we need to get it removed. I explain the financial situation and tell them that i only want to confirm the price as we are seeking help from friends and family. They tell me that I need to do an office visit for $55. Now I'm mad because, that $55 could be put toward the surgery cost of $530 which is what I'm trying to confirm. So, left with no real choice in the matter I do it , because conveniently, Dr. INJustis is available. Oh the bitter stench of irony.
Jasper and I go in to the exam room where the Whiz Bang Ms. Obvious Dr. INJustis proceeds to look at me ad say "wow that's nearly triple in size". I had all I could do to keep my cool and not come unglued at such a moronic statement. The Dr. INJustis goes to calculate a new cost based on its current size. She came back to me with a quote of $1400 and that they would have to do a new blood panel ant the cost of $150 to see if he could handle the surgery. OH and that since hes here he should have his vaccines. This b%&@$ has lost her mind. Did I not explain our financial position? I tell her that we elected to not do the surgery based on her recommendation and that back in September we could have more easily afforded the surgery and that had we known that we would be here and now, we would have taken care of this already. Dr. INJustice gives me this look of NOT MY PROBLEM and tells me that this quote is good for 2 weeks and can't be honored after that. WoW! total lack of compassion for an animal and people. I got you EVIL Dr. INJustis and your INjustis League known as Poplar Animal Hospital! I will stop at nothing to destroy whatever reputation you have!
Here's the good news, after reaching out to the community I had received several recommendations of other places to go for a second opinion and boy am I glad.
I ended up taking Jasper to West Stanly Animal Clinic where we walked right in unannounced with nothing but the word of some kind people and a lot of prayer.
We went yesterday morning at 8 am, with no appointment, as it is a walk in clinic. Jasper and I were immediately greeted by Liz. Liz had a warm smile and a clear tone of compassion as she looked to see the large growth that Jasper was dealing with. As I explained our situation that we have with Dr. (In)Justis at CROOKED Poplar Animal Hospital, Liz seemed to understand that I felt as if I was being taken advantage of. She continued to listen to our story as she took our information and entered it into the computer. All the while, close to 10 other clients were arriving with their pets. I had assumed that they were all regular clients based on observations. Nonetheless Liz remained focused on Jasper's needs and had sanitized and escorted us into a examination room immediately after she finished recording our information.
Once in the room and after less than a 5 minute wait, Dr. Tami Lane had come in to look at the growth. Dr. Tami listened to our story as she gently probed Jasper beginning to asses the situation. I had explained the financial stress that we are currently under and that I needed to get a concrete number to work with. Dr. Tami thoroughly explained the process and the possible complications. I agreed to the $46.00 to do the blood work to see if Jasper was healthy enough to undergo anesthesia and other general health concerns. ( #crookedPoplarAnimalHospital wanted $149 to to that test). Dr. Tami game me peace of mind in that she feel confident that this seems to be a large cyst-like growth and should lift out without much complication. She did lay out the slim possibilities that could arise but can only be confirmed once the surgery is underway, I do understand that there are factors. Dr. Tami gave me the worst case scenario price of $500 and can to it as soon as tomorrow morning.
All 5 of my pets will be going to West Stanly Animal Clinic from now on. As for the crooked Poplar Animal Hospital and crooked #SandraJustisDVM they should investigated for ethics violations. I hope and pray that their other clients have not been treated this way. I also hope that no animal that had a chance was lost due to the crooked Poplar Animal Hospital immoral and reprehensible standards.
I want to personally thank Melissa and Cheryl for recommending West Stanly Animal Clinic and every one at West Stanly Animal Clinic especially:
Liz
Dr. Tami
Danielle
Taylor
.....all for your beyond expectation kindness, compassion and professionalism!
Sincerley,

Good evening Crooked Evil Dr. INJustis and the INJustis league aka... Poplar Animal Hospital Here is an update. Try and recall the $535 surgery estimate from September and the $1400 estimate from Monday, July 2. Recall all of the fees for vaccinations that you threw at me that I HAD TO HAVE. Recall your saliva dripping down your chin at the opportunity to capitalize on the emotions of a devoted pet owner trying to do anything to make his dog more comfortable. Recall Today, July 5th, Jasper had his surgery and is recovering at home with the loving kindness of the incredible team of Dr. Sam Griffin and Dr. Tami Lane at West Stanly Animal Clinic for less than the original quote that the crooked and evil Dr. INJustis gave me in September, and it included the biopsy. The incision is approximately 13" long and the mass is best described as a small seedless watermelon. Poplar Animal Hospital and the Crooked and Evil Dr. INJustis are the lowest of low when it comes to morals and ethics and are not fit to tend to any animal. How in Gods glorious name can the crooked and evil Dr. INJustis sleep at night or stand to look at herself in the mirror? It's disgusting. I want to make it abundantly clear that #poplaranimalhopital is out for nothing more than your money. They could care less if your loving pet dies. Read Less
