WILL NEVER GO BACK!!! We took our dog to Value Vet 10 times in a year for Allergies and for her nails to be clipped. The FIRST and FIFTH (final) visits "Dr" R saw our dog. "Dr" R was rude, unprofessional, and mis-handled our dog right in front of us. AT NO OTHER Vet have I ever been asked for my dogs leash so that the Vet could handle the dog. My dog was already muzzled, but for some reason "Dr" R felt it necessary to show my pet who's "Boss" in order to give us a referral to a dermatologist. (Makes perfect sense right? WRONG) She began by tightening the muzzle with such a violent motion that it jerked my dogs neck and head. Just 3 weeks before, we took her to Ocean Shores with us where she as usual....was 100% friendly with people, pets, and KIDS. My dog is a 13 month old, 40 pound female Pitt/Boxer and has NEVER bit a person, but we were asked that she stay muzzled for precaution (no problem). After "Dr" R adjusted the muzzle as tight as she could get it, she asked me for the leash, at this point my dog is on the leash, muzzled, and noticeably scared. Then she started trying to get my dog to heal, pulling her around by the leash, my dog begins to growl and bark, the "Dr" persists and tries harder, and then my dogs starts to thrash and bark. That's when I stepped in and took the leash away, and brought her back to me, she was pretty shook up, shaking, and had a mild limp. I said "that's IT!! she has NEVER been like this with ANYONE...you're DONE handling my dog, so STOP" She somehow twisted her paw up when she was struggling with that poor excuse for a Veterinarian. She gave us a business card for us to take our dog to see a dermatologist, and she took a 2 minute look into her ears as I held her by the muzzle and harness....which is ALL we wanted done in the first place. Then she asked me to take the dog to the car while my girlfriend paid, like my dog and I did something wrong. What a monster of a person, with no care and compassion for a sick animal. I didn't take my dog there to be handled, trained, judged or jerked around from the leash/muzzle straps by "Dr" R. ***For the record, Dr Bin is GREAT, when she saw our dog, she put her hand out slowly, talked soft, and allowed our dog to come to her, like ANY HALF WAY smart person does, Schedule with her ONLY for your pets protection IF you go to Value Vet*** Read Less
