This office was notified that our dog was most probably pregnant and they waited a month to conduct the surgery so we could be charged more money. We were put on a wait list for the procedure and they never could fit us in. Knowing very well we were concerned she was already pregnant . I certainly hope this is not the case with everyone, but from my conversation with Simone she didn't care. If we could give them 0 stars we would!!!

I regret taking my sweet cat to Cornell. I believe if I had gone to Buffalo or Syracuse from the…read morebeginning she would still be alive. If you are assigned Dr. Alexandra Yiambilis, a first year vet resident, ask for another resident vet or to speak with the Attending vet. After reading other reviews, they push euthanasia without trying other options. Alexandra Yiambilis (who I do not consider a vet doctor or a human being) lied to me and to the team taking care of my sweet cat and pushed for euthanasia on the phone even before I met her. When I first spoke with her on the phone and asked how my cat was doing and if her diarrhea was better, she barked back, "I don't care about your cat's diarrhea." I should have known something was wrong with her then and that she didn't care about my sweet cat or me. She had an agenda from the beginning and lied to achieve it. I saw no other vet doctors besides Alexandra Yiambilis and she just graduated from vet school. She was cold, cruel, and lacked any empathy. She mentioned she puts all her animals down when the time comes. She could have not been more than 25-26 years old. I mourn every day since my sweet cat's passing. My sweet girl was sick with lymphoma. I did not care about the money. Alexandra Yiambilis mentioned in her cruel tone, "No one else is going to help you" and "I'm not going to do anything else for your cat." Alexandra Yiambilis said I was wasting resources on my cat and the first time I met her (she never introduced herself), she wanted to quantify ever bit of treatment given (e.g., "A blood transfusion would be waste of resources for your cat."). She was talking about my beloved cat. She didn't realize IV fluids could affect a red blood cell count and diagnosed a seizure that never happened. I know everyone has to learn in a profession, but unfortunately Alexandra Yiambilis is allowed to run unchecked with her cruelty, condescension, and poor diagnostic skills. I am saddened that my sweet cat was taken from me by this cruel individual Alexandra Yiambilis. Alexandra Yiambilis obviously went into the wrong profession. Pursuing treatment would have not killed my cat because she was a strong girl. Lack of proper treatment and care and compassion killed my cat. Nothing can take back the cruelty given to my cat and me by Alexandra Yiambilis. And nothing will bring her back.

Dr. Claire Berian is best known for her mobile veterinary services. Ages ago, she came to my house…read moreto give all my dogs and cat their annual exam and inoculations, when I was too ill to get the gang to their regular vet. She did a great job, the animals weren't stressed at all, and neither was I. Recently, I hired her to come to the house to give my senior dog euthanasia. It's never a great day when you have to make that decision, but she was kind and caring. She made sure that my dog did not have one single moment of anxiety - which is all that counts, really. The process was quiet and efficient. I can't recommend her highly enough. She also followed up with one of the kindest condolence notes ever. My own siblings didn't even bother with an email.

They tell me if I want the ashes back it's $600. I quickly learn that the local animal hospital charges $120. My cat died peacefully the next morning in her bed. They also convinced me in my grief to buy a $75 medication that may get her to eat again. This cat was done eating.

I have been going to Meadowridge Vet for over a year now, and I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else…read more They have been a great vet for everything from routine exams, to boarding, and for when she was in a crisis. The head vet, Linda, really tries to build a welcoming atmosphere, is extremely personable, and amazing with animals. She really tries to explain what is going on with your pet and will work with you to ensure you are getting the care you want for your furry friends. She has trained at Cornell and has a great working relationship with them, so I really feel like I'm getting great care for an affordable price. Because of that relationship, some of the lab work gets sent to Cornell and she also is not afraid to send serious cases to them. The rest of the staff is also awesome, from the front desk to the lab techs -- I feel they really care about your experience. They also have a boarding facility, which I have used -- I would recommend it. The staff is, again, really amazing and they get to know your pets so well. If you are booking for around the holiday, I would make sure you book early!

My first step was to schedule an appointment at which time I spoke with Lisa who went above and beyond to get me an appointment as soon as possible. She was compassionate and caring and very pleasant to speak with, she was able to get me in quickly and I appreciate all she did to get us that appointmant. I drove the three hours to Cornell and was assisted by staff members that took great care getting him out of my van and into the building , my boy was 150 pounds and not easy to lift especially because he could not even help himself get up. Within a short period of time after being examined they knew it was not arthritis , rather a neuromuscular disease. My dog was admitted for five days and started getting better with the meds that they were giving him. that's when I met Dr. Lin. I have no words that can describe what a wonderful, compassionate person she is. She went out of her way to accommodate me so I could visit him while he was in the hospital and in keeping constant phone contact with me on his condition when I was not there. The care and kindness that she showed us was amazing, she felt like a friend that felt my pain. I brought my boy home and he was doing a little better, I had hope. Dr Lin still stayed in contact with me and guided me over the next two weeks on his meds and progress. After showing improvement where Harley could get up on his own and walk a little for a few days, he took a turn for the worse and the disease took over. unable to stand or walk even while being assisted and just collapsing with no quality of life I with a heavy heart had to let my best friend cross the rainbow bridge. Even tho the outcome was not what I wanted it to be Dr, Lin gave me a few more weeks with my boy and I will forever be grateful to her and the amazing staff at Cornell Companion Hospital. The understanding,kindness and compassion they showed from beginning to end will forever remain in my heart.
