I should start by saying that they took care of my dog just fine. However, the vet, Dr. Head, was incredibly inappropriate. He continually made sexually suggestive "jokes" and remarks. For context, my dog had swallowed a pair of underwear, so I was at the vet to induce vomiting. He came out to the waiting room and kept talking about underwear. At one point he looked at a man in the waiting room, assumed he was my father (he wasn't--I didn't even know him) and said, "I shouldn't say this if front of Dad, but if it were up to me, I'd say everyone should only wear thongs....because they come out of dogs easier, of course!" He was laughing the whole time. Then he told me about other women who have had this happen and told me about their sizes and how "even if you're a size six, it doesn't necessarily matter." Then, he recommended I go to a different vet for another procedure I'm considering (one of his friends, no doubt) because this vet was cheaper. He told me I could save about a thousand dollars, which, he told me would "buy a happy meal. Or, some new underwear" wink wink. While nothing he said was overly explicit, I was incredibly uncomfortable. He still had my dog in the back at this point, so I didn't feel like I could say that he was being inappropriate. Once he left, the other man in the waiting room even commented on how inappropriate Dr Head was being. He was not professional AT ALL and even when I, through body language, made it as clear as I could that he was making me uncomfortable, he just kept at it. Needless to say after all of this, if he is on duty, avoid this place. He was an early morning reminder that misogyny is alive and well. Read Less
