This is the 2nd bad encounter with Dr. Gilley and his staff. First a couple of years ago we call the office and they said that our dogs would be seen if we were there by 4:30PM. We came all the way down from the Hammocks and arrived at 4:15PM and was told by an arrogant employee that we wouldn't be seen. There was a substitute Vet there and he didn't want to take anymore appointments. The employee could care less. I wrote Dr. Gilley a letter to him and his investors, that we had been customers of his for years when we used to live in Cutler Ridge. He call, was very gracious and apologized for the incident.
So, after awhile we started taking our dogs back and everything was ok. They were supposed to take care of a hernia to one of our dogs when we spaded her. The lump still exists, and so, I think he didn't even do it. Maybe he was mad at use for telling our story. Maybe just over looked.
Our dogs have acquired allergies, so we take them to him ever 4-6 months when they start scratching. They give them a shot, and the time before yesterday they didn't even charge us for Pebbles shot because as a Pomeranian she was so little with wasn't worth it. No Dr. office charge.
Yesterday we asked just for the shots, told the receptionist as well as the person who came out to pick them up. He returned within 2 minutes. When we went to pay for the shots it was $73! After my wife came to the car and said how much it was I went in to ask, and the lady said that she had already talk to the doctor. We never saw the doctor and am not sure he was even there. Shots used to be $17 now they are $22 a 30% increase.
So, they obviously do not care about the animals anymore, it's now like most doctors make as much money as you can, as fast as you can. Because if he did see them, at $29 for 2 minutes equals a $870 per hour rate.
Dr. Gilley Your FIRED.
My opinion is to stay away from this vet! read more
