We recently had a pet sitting experience with Malia and her daughter that had both positive and…read morechallenging aspects. The idea of a mother-daughter team was appealing, as it suggested a collaborative approach to caring for our kitties. However, we encountered several communication issues that affected our overall experience. We requested overnight stays for our cats, understanding that Malia also had dog-sitting and training responsibilities. We were surprised to learn on the day of our departure that her daughter would be bringing her small dog along, which we would never agree to as our older cat will defend itself when it felt threatened . While Malia mentioned she wasn't present during our initial conversation, although she was with her daughter during the orientation, which could have been an opportunity to clarify expectations. Malia was quick to accept this and said she would take care of her daughter's dog. We had provided detailed documentation regarding our cats' feeding and care needs, emphasizing our specific practices. While we understand that our approach may seem excessive, it's essential for us that these preferences are followed. We also had a neighbor lined up as a backup, but this shouldn't have been a reason to overlook our guidelines. During our absence, we faced an issue with our electricity external plugs tripping, this was due to an exposed Christmas light socket sitting near an irrigation sprinkler head. They notified our neighbor, who took care of the problem immediately. On the last day, Malia notified our neighbor about her need to leave early and her daughter had left because she fell ill, which we completely understand. However, I found it concerning when I mentioned that our neighbor felt very hot shortly after arriving; he said he was sweating almost immediately and that the temperature was 79 in the house. Malia responded defensively, stating she was used to a house temperature of 79°F. Our preference, as discussed, was to keep the temperature around 70°F for the comfort of our pets, especially our older cat. She said she kept checking and it was "set" to 70, but she didn't check the actual temp in the house. Also this high temperature would increase the humidity level, which would then increase mold growth. What actually occurred was that someone inadvertently turned the AC breaker off in the garage, which shut down the AC fan. There was no AC in the house! I was taken aback when Malia suggested that I should just have a neighbor take care of the cats. This response felt dismissive and indicated a lack of willingness to engage with our concerns. I appreciate that Malia and her daughter made an effort to stay with the cats as much as possible given their other commitments. But, her remark - when I asked about these issues was "at least the cats were fed" and she added "maybe you should get your neighbors to take care of the cats"--- would not be the response one would expect for a paid service. Overall, while the pet sitting arrangement had its merits, clearer communication and a more receptive attitude would greatly enhance the experience for future clients. We had 4 future trips pencilled in, which we obviously aren't going to do anymore.

One of our dogs…read morewas in to see him every 3-6 months for a complete exam along with blood work, since she has had liver and thyroid issues in the past. She then had an emergency on a weekend and took her to the Animal Emergency Hospital. We were then informed that she had congestive heart failure, and she might not make it. They kept her for 2 days, and we were finally able to take her home. They tried to contact Dr. Adams, and never heard from him. We personally called his office every day for one week, and never heard from him. We even went to his office 2 different times to try to speak to him, and never heard anything from him or his office staff. He wouldn't even come to the front of his own office to speak to me, while I was there. We had no clue how to handle this life altering condition that our baby was dealing with and needed OUR VET to explain to us what to expect, what to look for, and how can we prolong her life. Finally, after two weeks of absolutely NO communication from our vet, we changed doctors. We were informed by the cardiologist that her condition was detectable and it could have been treated before she had heart failure. Now I understand why he wouldn't return my calls or even show his face to me. He knows that he truly messed up. The worst part is that we also found out one of our other dogs was on his way to heart failure as well, but with treatment we could possible avoid the same outcome for him. I would never take a pet there if you love them. They don't care about our babies.

My darling baby escaped Sunday and came back unable to walk (his hip was dislocated). I brought him in to see the Dr the next day. Everything was great, I was glad they could see him and trusted they would take care of Asher. Later that day, I was told that they had been unsuccessful putting his hip in place, but had updated his shots and given him a flea bath and treated him for fleas. I went to pick him up, saddened because I knew I would need to take him to a specialist for surgery if there was to be hope of him walking again. I got there, paid my $1100 bill upfront and was then taken to the room where I waited for the Dr. I had spoken to the Dr twice during the day, getting updates on cost and how Asher was doing, so I wasn't surprised that the Dr failed twice in relocating the hip. As he was exiting to get Asher, he told me there had been an incident and Asher was cut while removing the bandages, after the second failed attempt at hip relocation. He brought Asher into the room, pulled my baby out of his cage. I was overcome by grief at the sight of my baby's leg. Asher, who had been at the office all day was now far worse off than when I brought him in. I asked what could be done to make it better he said he didn't "do it on purpose" and he was "sorry." He then kept repeating how he "followed protocol" and blamed my cat's hair. I continued to ask what I should do and he interrupted me and asked "do you want to hear about the medication or not." It was like he didn't really care. No patient plan was given, so I didn't even know how to take care of the new wound. I walked out with only the $1100 receipt and the the medicine in ziplock bags. The next day I had a couple more questions about the accident, during which the Dr explained he had actually cut a chunk of Asher's skin and fur out. He also told me that his "father was an orthopedic surgeon" and so he knew "things like this happen all the time." I am sorry, I expect more from a Dr and if I would have known my Dr accepts accidents as "things that happen all the time" I never would have gone there in the first place. I hope this saves another baby from an accident that scars them in the future. Good luck!

Although I've never been here, service alone from a phone call to request medical records for a facility I worked at is down the drain. I called to confirm a rabies certificate since their medical documentation is HORRIBLE and the receptionist was so condescending - talking to me as if I didn't know what I was reading and then she had the audacity to complain about my review about her attitude. But Yknow, Florida stuff. Definitely will be writing this for Google as well. Also as a side note it was just comical that I posted this review and the receptionist complained so much about my "unfair" review hope you enjoyed your 3 years of 3.8 stars because this is well deserved 1 star for service alone and honestly reading the reviews, animal hospital is a big yikes. How do you "accidentally" lacerated a patients leg while taking off a bandage? Maybe avoid? Lol

I'm giving two out of five stars for a few reasons…read more Dr. Wade does seem capable and knowledgable and she clearly has a passion for animals. That said, her time management could definitely use some improvement. I scheduled our first appointment, and the day before, I was asked to move it up an hour, which I agreed to. Then, on the day of the appointment, there was another request to switch back to the original time. I held back my frustration, as although I agreed, I was forced to rearrange our calendar at short notice. Regarding our second visit; shortly after confirming the 10:30AM appointment, I received a text asking if she could come an hour earlier, as she was apparently trying to accommodate another client. I agreed, but then received another text shortly thereafter asking us to return to the original time of 10:30AM. Honestly, it feels like there's a perception that people don't have busy lives and that the onus is on the client to accommodate her other patients. It's inconvenient and causes difficulties for people. The next morning Dr. Wade showed up at 9:15AM, 75 minutes early, insisting that leaving an unanswered voicemail and text justifies disregarding our scheduled appointment time. I turn my phone off at night so I did not get her communications; meaning that she got no affirmation that that would be okay with us. Dr Wade claimed that her patients appreciate it when she arrives early. Ten or 15 minutes might be okay, but I am confident that most people do not think that showing up early an hour and a half plus in the AM is acceptable. It wouldn't have stuck in my craw so much however, when I attempted another honest discussion with her regarding this issue, instead of accepting responsibility, Dr. Wade claimed that perhaps I was confused with another veterinarian who services our area. I had to acknowledge to myself what I was dealing with and quickly lost all confidence in her willingness to address the situation honestly. Humility is a virtue and I sincerely hope that that once Dr. Wade is a bit more seasoned, she might realize the importance of being more considerate towards clients in that aspect of her business. In any case, this is the second time (out of two visits) that the scheduling has inconvenienced us and that really isn't conducive to a good client/doctor relationship in my opinion. Another concerning issue is that Dr Wade insists that you order medications from an online pharmacy that is directly linked to her website. Not surprisingly, the pricing is significantly higher than regular avenues like Chewy, Costco, CVS and even our own compounding pharmacy. Further, there is a required $19.95 "expedited 3 business day delivery fee". This is another problematic hoop to jump through. Because of the exorbitant pricing, I had to insist that she call in the script to my preferred pharmacy. She did, but with the following text message, which I found to be dismissive and brash: "We just got your text. We were closed New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. We got Chewy's email. We'll give a verbal approval this one time." I will say that Dr. Wade seems up-to-date on testing, treatments, and studies related to pet care, which we did appreciate, but her platform just isn't the right fit for us. I would suggest contacting Midway Veterinary, Dr. Holland has been in the business for 40 years, the office is very accommodating and the staff is fantastic.
