The staff on the front lines are helpful and courteous when booking appointments or providing general information. The best part of Harris is that if one doctor is unsure of a diagnosis or treatment, they will collaborate to give your pet the best care.

Harris first dropped my sister as a client when she filed a complaint about lack of timely communication in an urgent care situation. Harris then waited for two months after I posted this review to drop me as a client; they did it when I emailed to get a refill but had fulfilled a different refill the week prior. Julie Keen, the owner's wife and not my animals' vet, noted in my chart that I posted a bad Google review and should not be seen. Harris also dropped my mom when they saw my Reddit post sharing all of the details of this situation. My original review concerns: My cat had an emergency appointment with Dr. Graham and was diagnosed with pancreatitis. I was sent home without any follow up instructions or pain meds. He continued to get worse over the next day and when I called to ask for pain meds and question why I wasn't given them in the first place, the vet claimed I denied pain meds. The receptionists acted like I was irate and screaming at them when I called trying to get my cat the meds he needed to actually improve. The staff expressed concerns that they filled the medication wrong at check out and my mom had to explain how the med was originally filled correct and explain the dosing label to the staff member that was attempting to change how it had been filled. In two different incidents, my primary vet never responded to an email I sent about a dietary consult. My primary vet also didn't respond to me when I reached out to discuss what follow up was needed after an ER visit for my dog due to a new neurological incident. I had to edit my review to make space for the update. In my previous review I gave details about my sister's case and explained that the receptionists claimed she threatened them and called them the r word on the phone when she expressed her concerns about very delayed communication with an urgent medical need. Harris's response is commenting on that piece of the review when they say they do not tolerate mistreatment. They also accused me of threatening them and calling them liars but I recorded the call to prove what was actually said.

I knew and understood everything that could and should hopefully happen. Their amazing staff brought my girl back to nearly untouched health and I still tear up thinking about it. We were lucky. But luck is only a very small part of it. AHLV is the rest of that piece. We are now a few years later and have our new "little" Leonberger pup that is of course going to them. With covid it's been interesting to say the least not being able to walk in with our pup. But I tell you what, when Grace's smiling face and Brittani's bubbly self bounce out of the door they are definitely aware that a 70lb 5 month old Puca is ready to rocket out into their arms with kisses coming very shortly after! Thank you everyone at AHLV for helping US through an incredibly scary thing with grace and patience and for all the care you show for even the normal appointments. I can't imagine in any way taking our Tonka and Puca girls to anyone else's arms.

I am writing to share my concerns about the care my cat received from Dr. Levin and my overall…read moreexperience with the clinic. My cat was recently started on a hyperthyroid medication at the lowest available dose. After beginning the medication, my cat went from eating approximately two cans of food per day to not eating for two days. During my visit, I was extremely concerned about the sudden loss of appetite and hoped for guidance on how to help my cat eat. Instead, I felt that the focus was placed primarily on additional testing and prescribing an anti-nausea medication without fully exploring the cause of the problem. After seeking a second opinion online, I learned that my cat may have developed a food aversion because the medication was causing nausea. This explanation fit the situation and helped me better understand what was happening. I was disappointed that this possibility was not explored during my appointment and that I was not asked questions that might have led to this conclusion. I was also uncomfortable with several aspects of the examination. Dr. Levin grabbed my cat by the back of the neck without first speaking to me about it or attempting to build rapport with my cat. The handling appeared to cause discomfort, and I found the interaction upsetting. Additionally, Dr. Levin stated that my cat had cancer despite no testing having been performed to support that conclusion, citing the lack of appetite as evidence. Given the number of possible explanations for a cat suddenly refusing food, I found this statement premature and alarming. To be clear, I am proceeding with the recommended diagnostic testing because I want to do everything possible for my cat. However, the experience left me with serious concerns about the quality of care, communication, and clinical judgment I received. The following day, after obtaining new information from another veterinarian, I requested a second opinion within the practice and asked for a prompt phone consultation to discuss a day-to-day care plan for my sick cat. My request was denied by the clinic owner. As a result, I have decided to seek care elsewhere and have scheduled an appointment with a new veterinarian. I am sharing this feedback because I believe these concerns warrant review and because I hope future clients and patients receive a more thoughtful and collaborative experience

Our bond was extraordinary through working together everyday. Chaco was very intelligent and enthusiastic in living, he had a spirit that did not want to quit. Dr. DiCarlo and her team, would perform surgery on Chaco (three times over three years), extending his life with 3 more years of quality time! His energy and will to live was amazing...
