We have used tall city for several years but this past experience was very disappointing. We picked up our dog after being spayed and after a couple of hours at home, her stitches came undone. I called and was put on hold, after 10 minutes of waiting, I finally got in the car to drive to the vet. Finally after almost 20 minutes, someone picked up the line and told me a vet wasn't there because it was lunch time. I asked her, "what am I supposed to do?" She said, "I don't know, you can come here and wait, I guess."
The most disappointing part was the unprofessionalism of the staff. We were put in a room and told to wait till 1, it was 12:35. After 20 minutes, a woman came in, but turned her back to us, whispered to someone in the hallway, went straight to the computer, never even acknowledging us. I asked her if she was the vet and she sarcastically replied, "no, I just got here, I have no idea what's going." As a patient, I am of course concerned for my dog since the skin is hanging open, I can see the tissue underneath and I've been waiting, this was an incredibly rude response. She was uncaring and seemed put out to have to help us. After 10 more minutes the vet came in and I asked her, "if I had a true emergency at noon what am I to do?" She first had to remind me that she had to eat her lunch then said if it was a true emergency the staff would have called her. With 4-5 vets working there, why isn't there a rotation so that one is available at noon? They put staples in the skin and gave her a cone to wear, why wasn't this given to us to begin with?
We are now back at the vet, waiting in line on a Saturday with 20 other people because even with the cone on her head, so she can't mess with the incision, the staples have come loose. We will be finding a new vet. Read Less
