I was a customer here for years until this year when I finally decided to change vets and see what else was out there and it was the best decision. The last time I was here, I walked in the doors and was immediately bombarded with a stack of the veterinarians books and sings saying "buy this" as if I was there for anything other than any animals well being. He did anything but take his time with my dog, he rushed us and I felt like I didn't get all my answers asked because we were in the exam room for maybe 5 minutes. He didn't do much to calm her down or anything. Obviously I didn't buy his books (super overpriced for the quality) but I did my research when deciding whether to look for more vet options or not (wow a teenager doing research, making adult decisions, AND paying for a new vet by herself? Gasp!). I found his "blog" and found he is a disrespectful person, calling his wife a "trophy wife" and saying she cleans up after him because house work is a woman's job? Excuse me but is this the 1800s? Yet, I still know he would be quick to call me an evil Liberal (wow how liberal of me to believe in kindness and equality instead of just being a decent human being) because he goes on nonstop rants about liberals and young kids these days. I would not have had a problem continuing to go here if he took time with my animal and acted like he cared, and didn't shove his political views in my face the second I walk in the door, trying to get even more money. But hey, to each their own I guess. Even though this review probably won't do anything due to the small population of laurel and even smaller number of customers he gets, I felt like people shouldn't waste their money to have a guy poke their animal twice and send you on your way. Maybe he's a better large animal vet, who knows. Either way, he lost a paying customer.
P.s The review was about Dr. Kerns not Dr. Broyles. We used to go to Dr. B but the last couple times we could only get in with Dr. Kerns. Dr. B was exceptional and very caring and made sure to explain every concern I had and actually listened to me. It's too bad we won't see him again read more
