Honestly, I was very disappointed by the service received from this vet clinic. On the initial visit, I had an appointment and had to wait for more than an hour in the small exam room that was extremely warm. While Dr. Ebert was quick to offer an apology for the amount of time it was taking, she did explain that she had another patient that was taking a bit longer than expected. After receiving an estimate for an extraction, I decided to schedule the procedure as it was a reasonable amount. This was the fourth vet clinic I had received an estimate from. On the day of the procedure, I was asked to pay the first half of the estimate when I dropped off my dog. Of course, the amount was not correct and later that morning the office called me. They informed me that they had made a calculation mistake and stated that my credit card had not actually gone through, so they were requesting to re-run my card. I agreed to them re-running my card and requested I get a receipt. When I went to pick up my dog later that day, my bill was more than $100.00 over the estimate. Not only was I surprised, I was a bit upset and disappointed. However, I paid the bill and took my dog home. Later, that evening I checked my credit card balance and there it was, I had been charged $875.00 for my dog's extraction. They had charged my card each time they ran it, so the next morning I called the office and left them a message explaining what had happened.When they called back and left me a message, they explained that the officer person did not know how to correctly backtrack the previous day's credit card and that they had talked to that person and would credit my card back in a few days. When I went back for my dog's follow up exam, I asked the vet why the bill was so much higher than the estimate. She was surprised and said that did not sound right, however when she came back in the room she explained that my dog's heart rate went to low and they had to give her additional drugs. To clarify, I asked it that was $100 in additional medication and she said yes. Plus, she said that they had credited my card back $148, which I explained was because they ran my card three times. Either way, she said that it was correct. After the exam, the vet assistant came out and asked about my dog's vaccination history and I informed her that I did not elect to have the other vaccinations with our previous vet, just the rabies shot. The assistant then went back to speak with the vet, when the assistant returned the second time she told me that the vet wanted to give my dog a distemper/parvo shot right now and to come back in three weeks for a booster. I explained to the assistant that I was not going to do this and that I had other dogs at home. The assistant said ok and that she would just put a note in my dog's file. She left to speak with the vet again, before she would give me the paperwork for my dog's visit.Not only was I disappointed in how concerned this vet clinic is about getting their money, but they are also very pushy to add things without first discussing the long term care of my pets with me. While my dog's surgery and recovery are on the mend, this vet clinic is definitely not a reasonable place, as they ended up costing me a great deal more than others because of how inaccurate the estimate was. Just be warned that this clinic cares more about getting paid then helping pets. Read Less
