I can't say that the doctor is bad but the charges/estimates are ridiculous. My dog was vomitting and hasn't been eating or drinking anything and the doctor wanted to hospitalized him, X-ray his abdominen, do blood work, urine analysis, etc. and includes the charge for the medicines. I understand you have to pay for the meds but what's weird is, how do you know which meds to give to the dog if you don't know what's wrong with it in the first place? Anyways, I'm just saying the charges were ridiculous and I wouldn't come back here.

I went to another vet and the doc told me by hearing all the symptoms and examining him he narrowed it down to 2 things. The doc said X-Ray needs to be done in case, there are any foreign object(s) in his stomach and 2nd is blood work but it's up to me whether I wanted to get that blood work done. X-Ray was necessary which was fine with me, that would have been my #1 choice for them to do. Hospitalization wasn't needed. He said if the dog doesn't get better then call me, we'll proceed to the next step.



I just like it when they give me options and doing tests one by one instead of putting it all up front and charge me $700 with unnecessary charges.

I prefer to treat my own pet at home for minor illnesses instead of hospitalizing them. I think they're more comfortable when they are at home in a familiar environment than having strangers treating them. But it's just my preference.
