POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. We had an appointment on Friday. I was called less than half and hour before the appointment, the doctor was sick and they needed to cancel. I understand that can happen. I was offered another appointment later in the day, I explained that it was difficult to make that time and I could be late. The appointment was then booked for 1:40 PM. I arrived 10 minutes late. I stood at the counter for another 5 minutes because on of the desk workers was having a personal conversation with someone. When I was finally checked in I was told that I was too late and needed to reschedule. Normally, going there I sit in the lobby for 10 minutes after checking in and then we sit in an exam room for another 10 minutes waiting for the doctor. I received multiple excuses. They moved on to the next patient. There was only one doctor there (I saw one leave while I was at the desk). Suddenly, the only doctor there was now in an emergency surgery. I replied to the emergency surgery excuse. Asking even if we were on time then we wouldn't have been seen, why didn't anyone call me? I was told we would have been seen. That tells me there was no emergency. Plus upon leaving another pet family was arriving for their checkup. I pretty sure they were seen. I told the desk manager that if we were not seen I would be looking for another vet. She didn't care. This is no way to treat a patient who has been a patient for over 5 years. I pass 4 vets on my way to Sylvania VET, because I thought they gave the best care. They may have good care; but THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I found out when leaving that they didn't even have the decency to schedule us with our regular doctor originally! I have already made arrangements with another facility and requested a records transfer. Find a different Vet for your pet. Read Less

We have two Boxer's that are like our children. We have had to take our older one in several times and Sylvania Vet has been AMAZING to her.

I adopted a cat from them a while back. I was going to a different vet but I decided to keep the new cat going to Sylvania Vet because they knew her extensive background. I didn't keep her going there long. Every time we went just for something simple it was at least a 90 minute to 2 hour wait. They put you in a room, leave you for 30 minutes, tech comes in to talk to you, leaves you for 30 more minutes, doc comes in & talks then says she's going to get you some meds...then you wait another 30 minutes. Then you get to go to check out & you get an attitude. I have never saw more rude people than the ones that work at the desk. They all have an attitude. They also nickel and dime you for EVERY little thing. I had a different cat hospitalized there over the weekend. They charge for things every day that are not changed daily, like the IV set. The IV pump is also another charge...I paid enough for pump rental that I probably own the dang thing. That should be included in the "hospitalization" fee. It was close to $1000 for 2 days of care. RIP OFF!!! Read Less

Expensive, rude, med pushers, and so much turnover. We never see the same employees in there, including the vets. Come to think about it, have we ever been seen by a true veterinarian there? The last visit, we took our dog in for an issue with his paw and they examined and prescribed antacids for his stomach, which we didn't even use. Turns out his paw condition is because they refused to trim a nail in past visits and now it is cracked, something they will refuse to take responsibility for. They push very expensive allergy medications for anything abnormal with skin. It's always a mystery how much the visit will cost and we always leave with a bill > $100 for even the simplest checkups and followup visit aren't charged as such. I would give this place 0 stars but I can't, and they give out free cookies and drinks (for human consumption) so that's worthy of 1 star.

They have daycare, grooming, and just about anything else your pet needs. Their end of life care is top notch as well. They helped us greatly with the passing of our beloved dog. Even though the after hours is only emergency, they allowed me to stop in to pick up my Daisy and bring her back home. Read Less

For Dr. Karissa: Just last week, on Dec 10th, my husband and I had to make the difficult and unexpected decision to say goodbye to our beloved lab, Jack. I was inconsolable, lying on the floor sobbing next to my sweet, sick boy. Dr. Karissa's honest and gentle advice spoke volumes to me, and I have repeated these words in my head over and over each time my grief overwhelms me: "It is a privilege for us to be able to choose to end their pain." I am lost without my Jack. I know that time will ease my sadness, but until that happens, Dr. Karissa's words remind me that our love for Jack is greater than our selfish desire to hold on to him. Thank you, Dr. Bob and your staff, for taking care of Jack over the years. And a special thank you to Dr. Karissa for your compassion and caring when we had to let him go. Read Less
