'm writing this review to share my experience as a longtime pet parent and someone who came to this…read moreclinic hopeful, trusting, and truly liking Dr. Powe in the beginning. In early visits, Dr. Powe was personable, complimentary, and seemed invested. However, things changed significantly when my dog developed recurring urinary issues. After multiple rounds of antibiotics, I was told during an appointment that an ultrasound showed "a mass on his bladder wall." She recommended to come back in 10 days for a confirmation ultrasound. I returned and another ultrasound was performed. She then came back into the exam room and stated, "it's still there" and that it had become "more prominent," and that it might require a biopsy. She discussed the possibility of TCC (a form of terminal bladder cancer) and said there were good medications now a days for managing it, which of course caused me tremendous distress. I was referred to a specialist at MedVet in Mobile, Dr. Bercovitch. He reviewed my dog's case, performed his own diagnostic/lab tests and clearly stated he did not believe it was TCC bladder cancer and that no mass was visible. I cried out of sheer relief as I had already begun to grieve Henry. The emotional toll of the previous diagnosis discussion had been intense. When I expressed concern and confusion to Dr. Powe, about the sudden change in diagnosis and lack of clarity, I was firm but not disrespectful. I did say that "my dog is not a science fair project" and that "I no longer trusted the direction of care and would be transitioning my dog elsewhere after his current treatment ended." Several days later, I received a certified letter in the mail to my house. I did not get a call, follow-up, or conversation from my last message to her. The letter formally ended the doctor-client relationship. It was abrupt and shocking, and to this day I'm not sure why I was treated this way besides questioning her diagnosis. Another recurring concern was that during nearly every visit, I was encouraged to purchase add-ons such as probiotics and fish oil sold through the clinic. I didn't need a sales pitch, I needed medical expertise, clarity, confident, and steady care for my dog. I am not leaving this review out of spite. I am leaving it because pet owners deserve transparency, trust, accountability and emotional steadiness from their vets, especially in moments where serious diagnoses are being discussed. I followed every direction I was given, bought every medication or supplement recommended. I took my dog's health seriously and expected the same in return. Henry is my child. This experience left me shaken and disappointed. I hope it helps others make informed decisions about where they seek care. I've attached photos to show that a biopsy was recommended and the certified letter sent to my home.
