Quoted 600$ for procedure, charged $1200 after the procedure was done. My mistake for not getting in writing ahead of time.

We used Dr. Livingston for my two dogs and five cats for over 10 years. She used to be great, but…read morenow she seems to be in it just for the money. She used to work with us to keep costs low. Now she overcharges and gives treatments without permission. Dr. Livingston quoted me a price of $500-$600 for my cat's megacolon surgery, and I ended up paying twice that. My cat died soon after, so I don't believe she had the skills to perform the surgery. Dr. Livingston applied flea meds to my dog and charged me for a full box of three doses even though they knew I had just bought flea medicine the previous month and still had two doses at home (and was already paying a lot for other treatments). She's constantly running behind. I'm a very easygoing customer, but it was ridiculously unprofessional. When I decided to leave their practice, I requested our records, and the receptionist rudely said she would have to get permission from Dr. Livingston and she would see if she could send them. They have to release our records by law. I felt like she was threatening to keep our records and trying to intimidate me into staying. I switched to Kolbrooks Veterinary Clinic. It's a longer drive for me, but their prices are way better and they've been super honest and friendly. I am very happy I left Animal Medical Center because I don't think I was treated very well there.

I have been going to this practice since 2006. Dr Livingston was the vet at that time and now Dr…read moreLance Kramer. Dr Cramer aka Lance and his assistant, Carrie, were so caring with my dog, Emma, who had to be put to sleep at the age of 15 in 2021. I cannot begin to tell everyone how caring and wonderful are the staff who work here. Dr Lance Cramer is a bonus to animal owners.

I have been taking my dogs to AMH for over 20 years now and you will never find a more dedicated,…read morecaring, compassionate staff. Dr. Mason and his long-term vet techs Crystal, Cindy, and Trish are amazing! They are willing to work long hours if necessary to provide excellent care to their client's pets. Right now we are dealing with a complex issue with my dog and they have been right there working through it with me. I can't thank them enough. Recently I found out that Dr. Mason is no longer the managing veterinarian and I was shocked! I'm not sure why this decision was made but Corporate really blew it this time! He is the reason this office made it through Covid and is still in business. For months he was the only veterinarian there. He deserves to be treated in a manner that shows how much he is appreciated and valued not given a slap in the face. I hope they realize their mistake and reward him appropriately. Bottom line as long as this staff is here you won't go wrong bringing your precious pets to this practice.

Very upset. I HAD been a customer for over 25 years. Due to covid lockdown and illness I was unable…read moreto bring my cats for multiple years. Luckily they were healthy. I called recently to make an appointment and was told that since I hadn't been there for a while that I would have to pay a 75 dollar new client fee. This news was delivered very rudely. I pet sit and have sent all of my clients to this vet because of the care and good service. Perhaps an email to alert people of this policy ? Very sad to look for a new vet and the lack of compassion from their front desk staff. Especially at a time when my cat is now ill and in distress.

I have a beautiful cockapoo as well as a very handsome miniature poodle. They are very precious to…read moreme and I take the best care of them as I possibly can. One night this week as we were going through our daily grooming ritual, I felt a lump on my cockapoo that was roughly the size of a walnut. This was in an area where I clean daily and it hadn't been there the night before so I was worried. I called Halfmoon Valley Animal Hospital early the following morning and asked for an emergency appointment for the next day. I didn't even ask for a same day appointment knowing how busy they always are so I was surprised when they offered me an appointment for the same afternoon which I gratefully accepted. They diagnosed an issue their groomer had missed (on both of them), rectified it and crises over. I felt like I received an incredible gift with my dogs being patients of this practice. No matter the issue, regular checkup, medications, or emergency visits the vets, assistants and office staff show professionalism, compassion and patience with each issue. They treat my dogs with genuine kindness and gentleness and the more I depend on my dogs as my service animals the more I tend to forget that they aren't human. Fortunately, they strike a perfect balance and I'm grateful for their services. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who has pets that may be more like family as after several years patronage they have never let me down. Thank you

The team at RoseBird has come through for our dogs in emergency situations so much more than our…read moreestablished vet in the last year! So much so that my husband and I have made the decision to switch to them for established/routine care. Almost a year ago, they helped us with our puppy, Vito. Our regular vet wasn't available, RoseBird got us in and got him fully recovered quickly. Then again more recently, Dr Lewis saw us through a difficult lymphoma diagnosis. He helped us follow through with keeping our boy Chase comfortable with a decent amount of a quality of life before ultimately assisting him to the rainbow bridge. It amazed me that Dr Lewis was able to remember details about Chase after only a couple of visits without referring to a chart in front of us with as many animals that cross that threshold in a day. And as an added bonus the office is easily accessible and close to home!

She should NEVER work…read morewith people, let alone animals.........We called with an emergency that our cat could not use his hind legs. She told us "don't even think about bringing him in before 8AM". She failed to direct us to any emergency services, as well When we arrived for our scheduled 8AM appt, she knew of the situation and looked right at me, but instead answered a phone instead of assisting me... she was cold & uncompassionate, & disinterested in my cat's suffering. She attempted to argue with me,instead of putting her focus on the care + compassion of my animal and he died horribly, because of this. Doctor Lewis & Dr Andy have been wonderful in my experiences with them, but I will no longer entrust any of my beloved pets in Rosebird Vet's care, because they only hire receptionists with cold, broken & cruel hearts. The receptionists (seemingly all of them, because the one in question was the only one who addressed me that day, despite there being three on site that day!) & many (but not all) of the vet techs will throw you (and your babies) in and out of there, as if it was fast food service. If you are local, I recommend Nittany Valley Animal Center, for the care & respect that your pets deserve. The care & respect your animals deserve will NOT be found at the reception desk of Rosebird Veterinary Center...

Great practice and I've referred many Serious Pet Owners to Dr. Kocher…read more She took very good care of my senior Shih Tzu, Peppi during his advanced years and she listened to what I had to say of his symptoms, and she was very honest and ethical and did diagnostics such as bloodwork and X rays and prescribed heart pills accordingly. She never once tried to take me over in more than the needed diagnostics at all but did state there are additional options such as ultrasound and others if I was open to it which I was not. She never pressured me for more than what was needed to make a solid diagnoses however did let me know other diagnostics were available. She really cared about Peppi and understood he was my family. On two occasions she or Dr. Blizzard 'made time' for me when Peppi needed in same day due to being old and having heart problems which most all very old little doggies get if they live long enough. Dr. Kocher always explained everything of what was going on with him and she explained what happens in very old dogs with congestive heart and heart valve problems. She put the stethoscope right in my ears and had me listen to his heart beat which even I without any medical training could tell was bad but then explained why the valves weren't beating his heart right and after the blood work and x ray came back went over the blood work and showed me the enlargement of his heart on the x ray. She prescribed appropriate medications and her med fees are in line with all the other vets in the centre region and she didn't take me in this area. Her staff is so nice and very intelligent. These people cared about my dog and I was with State College Veterinary hospital for about 5 years as I moved here with my dog Peppi . Peppi had great care and I was treated very, very well. I like a one or two vet practice myself as the vet or vets know my dog and I'm not just a chart for a vet at a large multi vet practice. At a large multi vet practice and they do a great job also but really, I want the same vet or two vets only as I think the benefit to the animal is better in a one or two vet practice. The costs are in line with all other vet practices in the centre region. It's a small two vet practice which is a bonus for me, she isn't afraid to explain anything that's going on in common language, she will, or Dr. Blizzard, if really need be make time for a senior dog needing to be seen same day. I recommend this practice highly. If you are a Serious Pet Owner and care about the health and welfare of your pet this is the place for you.

Dr. Cruden gave my bunny Frodo tender loving care from his first wellness visit through to his euthanasia eight years later. Frodo loved Dr. Cruden (I just know) and Dr. Cruden treated him in kind. He and his staff handled Frodo with care and sensitivity especially on his final day. They took the edge off my grief and now my baby rests in a sweet little carved box. He will be with me and in my heart for an eternity. I'll be getting another bunny in June and already Dr. Cruden has accepted him as his patient. I look forward to dealing with All Pets in the near future.

They have helped us through everything with our animals from new puppies to sending our 19 year old Lab over the rainbow bridge. They could not have been better, kinder, more helpful to us. Dr. Crudens knows his stuff, but won't overmedicate or over-treat for things that can be resolved with dietary changes or simple fixes. The one emergency we had with out cat who caught a virus and required fluids, special diet and an overnight stay. The bill was less than I anticipated. Pet ownership is expensive, but in State College, All Pets is probably the most reasonably priced vet, and the care cannot be beat!
