West Jordan Animal Hospital

I can only feel sorry for any pet who is taken to Dr. Silkman for treatment. We had a very sick cat who, after treatment, a 3 day stay, and planned release following am, had a setback requiring surgery at 3am. I was wide awake at that time, waiting to bring kitty home. Instead of calling us, the crackpot dr let our cat suffer until we arrived at opening time. He recommended immediate surgery, we agreed. He had two smiling assistants ask us if we wanted gowns to view surgery. We went into 'OR' where Silkman proceeded to show us our kitty's insides while he blamed us for our cat's situation - urinary blockage then said euthanasia was only option. This man is horrible, money hungry, and doesn't care about the animals he treats. If he did, he would've called us at 3am, or simply operated instead of waiting a critical 5 hours letting our baby suffer! Also, if you want to visit a pet, staff throws a fit, gives you dirty looks, and makes you leave after 5 minutes. Staff is almost as evil as doctor - should have seen them getting us to surgery table, they were smiling while my kitty was dying! It's been a few years and I'm shaking writing this, but feel people should know what this place is really like. Read Less

I've been here several times. We come here more often than not. Our visit today was especially good. My dog woke up yesterday morning with a big hard lump on his front right leg. I took him in after hours to BluePearl last night, and was told that they wanted to test him for cancer (twice apparently) do blood work, and sedate him for it, which was going to run a tab of over $800. I opted to wait until today and bring him into Jordan River and I am so glad that I did. Dr. Myrick was great. Very polite, very knowledgeable, and we really liked the way he was with our doggo Biff, who was very very nervous. He checked his joints, asked a lot of questions, explained what he was thinking and what the possibilities were, and decided to take a cell sample with a needle and look at it with the microscope. With this he was able to determine it was very very unlikely cancer, and he diagnosed hygroma. After explaining everything to us we agreed that this made the most sense, and we left feeling relieved and having had a very pleasant experience. We really appreciated Dr. Myrick's "bedside manner" and his way of taking the time to talk with us, ask questions, and explain everything. After all was said and done, we left paying $130 for everything, including him taking the sample, looking at it, and some anti-inflammatory medicine. I feel very happy paying this for the peace of mind I got from the visit. We will definitely be coming back and I would recommend this place to anyone. Read Less

I have been taking my pups here since I've owned dogs. The staff is always very knowledgeable and friendly. If you want top notch care for your fur babies I would recommend everyone to bring them here. Read Less
