I am giving this review on behalf of my mom. She made an appt to have her dog, Zuzu, seen because she was barely eating and lethargic and wanted bloodwork done to see if there was an underlying problem. The vet she saw, Dr. Pate, was extremely rude, barely examined Zu, and acted as if her time was being wasted. She told my mom that no bloodwork needed to be done, that Zu was fine. $70 charged for the "exam" and for a fecal exam (which my mom insisted be done at least). Two days passed and Zu did not get any better. She puked up foam and blood suddenly and was rushed to Cornell Animal Hospital, where the friendly and thorough staff told my mom that Zuzu was extremely dehydrated and sick. Zu is now being held overnight for bloodwork -we are afraid to say. Avoid a situation like we were put through- avoid this vet AT ALL COSTS! It may cost your pet's life. We pray Zuzu will make it through.
