Rodney York used to be the primary vet for my husky Lanie. I had previously mentioned a mass on her torso on at least 3 occasions to him over the course of a year or so, each time he dismissed it as being a fatty tumor & stated a biopsy wasn't necessary . eventually the tumor he had dismissed swelled to 10 more than it's size, at which point he still didn't recommend a biopsy . **** removed the tumor, a few months after this surgery lanies leg began to swell drastically & she couldn't walk. I took her to Rodney **** on on 5+separate occasions regarding swelling in her right front leg. Each time Rodney **** dismissed us, saying that her issue was arthritis. I asked **** to do an xray, he did & had promised to consult with another vet & let me know what he found out. **** didn't call as he promised nor did he bother to return any of the voicemail messages nor the messages I left with the secretary. I got a second opinion & within 5 minutes the new vet found a large tumor that **** had missed on 3 occasions. come to find out the tumor was cancerous & shouldn't be operated on as mast cells tend to spread.
