I have never written a bad word about a veterinary hospital before, so I find doing so very disheartening. I have been rescuing animals for over 30 yrs. In that time you can imagine I have worked with Vets a lot. I want to say it makes it even harder for me to write this because I really really liked Dr. Lyne, you can tell he is a good vet. I was sent to this vet from their sister hospital in Supply, since they didn't carry Bravacto. While their I had shots done on 2 dogs. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Big mistake... I was charged 36 x 2 for parasite tests I didn't ask for or was even told was happening. Every single shot was substantially higher than what I paid at the sister hospital a week prior on my 3rd dog. Office visit was 10 higher at $55, I was shocked at the $45 visit at Vet A. it had been the Highest office visit I have ever seen. The Bravacto was $13 higher than I have ever paid before anywhere. SMH Before I saw the bill I inquired about having a dental done on 2 dogs, they said the price was $275 I silently said never mind knowing X 2 dogs it was $150 cheaper to do it at the sister vet. Then I was handed the bill, I bit my tongue and paid the $392. Today I was back for a recheck of my dogs ear. Dr. said it looks good, we'll just add a couple drops to make sure...Sounds great, Then says I'll see you in a week. I thought that odd since he just said it looks good. Whatever, Get up front and she says $56.....What this was a re-check yeah but he got medicine....$56 for drops in his ear??? The other girl peaks over and whispers go ahead and take the office off. You charged a office visit for a recheck??? Yes we'll take the $30 dollars off though. So $26 for two drops of liquid gold, I had at home in the cabinet and paid only $32.50 for the whole damn tube. In thirty plus years rescuing animals I have never once been charged for a recheck, any meds of course, but not one damn time for a recheck and I have lived in 6 different states and a few big cities where prices can get up there. Technically I still haven't paid for a recheck But this place is clearly out to make a quick buck, People price around and ask questions first, this place is setting unnecessary appointments and is clearly after phone calls to other area vets this afternoon charging crazy high fees. I spent a minimum of $150 more than I would of paid if had vet A had just sold Bravacto, and if I had asked about prices instead of amusing a sister hospital would be about the same. Do your homework people there are a lot of good vets out there who don't do this people. This is the reason people can't afford to rescue animals anymore, it''s all about the almighty dollar now days. Read Less
