Very disappointing and unprofessional experience with Dr. Matthew Watson and the team at Blacksburg…read moreAnimal Clinic I brought my dog to Blacksburg Animal Clinic today for a scheduled veterinary appointment, and unfortunately, we were not even seen because of an issue involving a $300 balance that I believe should have been handled directly with the ASPCA. A few months ago, my cat had cancer and required surgery on his ears. The ASPCA in Roanoke agreed to pay the $300 balance, and I provided Blacksburg Animal Clinic with documentation stating that the ASPCA would be responsible for the payment. The front-office employee who was working that day was the same person I spoke with today. She had originally scanned the documentation into their system and also spoke directly with the ASPCA representative by phone while I was there picking up my cat after surgery. I was told the ASPCA would be sending the clinic a check in the mail. Today, before my dog's appointment, I was suddenly presented with a statement saying that I still owed the $300. I explained that the ASPCA had agreed to pay this amount and that I had already provided the clinic with documentation confirming that arrangement. At first, I was told they did not have the paperwork on file. Then, after I explained that I knew it had been scanned into their system, they acknowledged that they actually did have the documentation. I also explained that I am disabled, live on a fixed income, and simply cannot afford to pay an unexpected $300 balance that I was told the ASPCA was responsible for. I was not refusing to pay a legitimate bill; I was trying to understand why I was suddenly being held responsible for a balance that had already been arranged to be paid by another organization. While I was speaking with the front-office employee and trying to resolve the issue, Dr. Matthew Watson came out and asked, with what I felt was a very obvious attitude, "Are we still doing this?" referring to my dog's appointment. I told him that I was willing to proceed with my dog's appointment as long as I was not being made responsible for the $300 that the ASPCA had agreed to pay. I explained that I simply wanted the billing issue resolved and did not feel comfortable accepting responsibility for that amount. He then essentially told me that if I didn't like the situation, I should take my dog to another veterinarian. He opened the front door and told me to go to the other vet. I have never been treated this way at a veterinary clinic. I was not yelling, threatening anyone, or refusing to pay a legitimate bill. I was attempting to resolve a billing/documentation issue that appears to have resulted from the clinic's own failure to properly maintain or process the paperwork they had already received. What is especially upsetting is that I clearly explained that I am disabled and live on a fixed income. Instead of showing understanding or professionalism and trying to resolve the situation, I felt dismissed, embarrassed, and essentially pushed out of the clinic. I cannot speak to whether this legally constitutes disability discrimination, but I absolutely felt that my disability and financial circumstances were not treated with appropriate consideration. My concern is not simply the $300. It is the way this entire situation was handled. If the ASPCA payment had not arrived, the professional response should have been to contact the ASPCA, review the documentation, and work toward resolving the discrepancy--not confront me immediately before my dog's appointment and then have the veterinarian tell me to take my dog somewhere else. After being a client here, this experience has completely changed my opinion of this clinic. I will be taking my dog elsewhere. I hope management reviews what happened today, including the documentation regarding the ASPCA payment and how I was treated when I questioned the balance.

I brought my dog in to be evaluated for vomiting and clearly informed Dr. Matt McCormick that my…read moredog is reactive. I requested and placed a muzzle before the exam began. During the physical exam, instead of asking me to assist with restraint, which has worked well with other veterinarians, Dr. McCormick began pinning my dog firmly against the exam table in an attempt to control him. My dog became extremely distressed and ultimately urinated and defecated during the restraint. The level of force used felt excessive given that his anxiety and reactivity had been clearly communicated. I had to intervene and remove my dog from the situation. I understand that reactive dogs can be challenging to examine, but I expected a more collaborative and low-stress approach. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to this clinic.

The new clinic listened to me and answered my questions. The correct tests were ordered, and I finally got treatment. The new clinic always provides written discharge notes. I had to call multiple times to get the test results from Companion. I felt like I was a bother - not a client. Dr Fabrizi there was the only one who did at least acknowledge the symptoms.

In an attempt not to stress the kittens out further, I offered to leave the crates I'd caught them in with the clinic for a few days. They assured me that they would be returned to me fully sanitized and put together. Today I went to pick them up and they were returned to me covered in crud and hair and debris, very clearly not cleaned, along with missing over half of the screws needed to connect them (There were 18 total, 8 were returned). When questioned they said they had cleaned one of them (but not the other?) thought both were in a deplorable state. I cannot speak of their pet care, but their customer service is patronizing at best and I would highly recommend triple checking any equipment you leave with them as they do not seem to care what condition it leaves in.

The Vet only spent a few mins with my girls as I expressed my concerns about some dry skin. He gave no recommendations or medication for her skin. I was promptly sent to the front where they told me my bill. I was surprised at the amount so I asked about the meds and how long it last. They said only a month. I requested something that would last longer since I was shipping out in a month. They finally gave me bravecto which last 3months. I then had to write two different checks because the woman upfront wasn't paying attention to the total nor was my bill itemized. I have no idea how much the visit costed. I called before I showed up and was never informed that they only accept cash or check. Would have been nicer to know that before hand.

Saying that was part of a dog's anatomy and not to worry. I felt relief after hearing this and waiting patiently over the next month hoping to see him gain weight, which never happened. Once I witnessed his puppy energy starting to decrease and appetite slowly fading, I setup an appointment at a different vet. During the week I had to wait before they could see him, he really went downhill, and died the very next day after that vet visit. The mass on his side was a cancerous tumor that grown so large it had taken up all the space in the lower part of his body. I felt something was not right the day I first saw that bulge on him. Took him to Riverside that same morning. Now I'm left to wonder, would he still be alive if the vet knew what a dog's anatomy should feel like. I feel that should be basic knowledge if you are a professional small animal vet. I trusted she knew what she was doing. and now my 1 and 1/2 year old puppy is dead. Im heartbroken.
