On behalf of a Facebook post with X-ray photos: “I thought a lot about posting this and finally decided I did not want anyone else to face what I am going through right now. I worked at Scio Animal Clinic for the last year. I walked out last week over his gross negligence regarding multiple animals. He recently repaired my Foster dog Doras broken leg on December 29th. After the surgery he repeatedly refused to take the AP X-Ray view I asked for. I had an X-ray taken last week Where Dr. Dietrich assured me it was “healing nicely “. I looked at the X-Ray and it was mostly white and unreadable. So 3 days later I took her to Faithful Friends Animal Clinic for X-rays where they were horrified to find what Dr. Dietrich had done to this little 9lb dog. She has a huge pin sticking out of the skin on her hip. This is the X-ray Faithful Friends took clearly showing he never aligned the bones. The pin is hooked to nothing. They are removing the pin on the 19th. If the leg causes her pain they will likely amputate. Dr. Dietrich destroyed the only chance this dog had of ever having a fully functioning leg. I cant imagine how she must have been suffering. This is not the first shady thing to happen there and he truly doesn’t care about animals. 3 Vets have looked at her X-rays/her and have been astonished at the complete lack of knowledge, ethics, and integrity that are obvious from the trauma this little girl has been enduring from this botched surgery. I never liked him but I trusted him as a veterinarian. I was wrong. If you love your pets do not take them to the Scio Animal Clinic. Never let Dr. Brian Dietrich ever touch your animals.” Read Less

Dr. Cole sold the business a year ago, but the same small town laid back vibe is in the Air. Dr Dietrich is the new Dr in this beautiful, historical building in Scio. Take your fur babies in and meet the staff. They have always taken very good care of my pets. I trust them with my fur posse.Read Less

I live in Albany now, after nearly a lifetime in Scio. I tend to be the loyal type though, so I still take the 10 minute drive back into Scio from SE suburban Albany to take my tribe to this Veterinary office. Under new management now, but keeping the wonderful staff on made it easy to keep coming back. The new Vet is a great guy and my animals are ALWAYS well taken care of. I highly recommend.Read Less

I have been using Scio Animal Hospital for over 10 years. My daughter told me about them, they are caring and affordable. Dr Sally is the best. She is really go the extra mile for you. She loves animals and when I had to have my moms dog put down, she cried almost as hard as me. Its nice to have a vet that cares and not just about the bill. She worked with our grandson who couldn't afford his big dogs treatment, but needed it. She made sure he was able to get his dogs taken care of. She didn't just send him down the road like so many vets would. Our family loves her. Read Less

We brought our puppy in for standard neutering and when we came back to pick him up in the afternoon, he had massive swelling in his belly and testicle area. They were going to discharge our dog without taking a second look at this. Dr. Cole had already left the office with no mention of anything possibly going wrong during surgery. We had to draw attention to the swelling, his belly was purple from internal bleeding, turns out he had a blood clot. Dr. Cole came back and had to do an emergency surgery. We never got a follow up call. They helped us bring the dog back to car after 15 minutes post surgery still under anesthetics. Our dog had to spend the following day at our local bet to be monitored. We had to get additional antibiotics and sedatives neither did she recommend of prescribe. Read Less
