    We have a Golden Retriever we brought in for a total knee replacement. The surgery went outstanding…read moreand her leg has healed faster than we even expected. However this is where the good ends. In followup from her surgery she has inexplicable scars on both her lips which we assume are from her teeth during surgery; however the vet won't provide any further explanation or take any responsibility so apparently she cut her lips miraculously. While taking the prescription drugs prescribed by them she had diarrhea which was to be expected; however she had a breakout of what is anticipated to be a skin infection around her butt and hind legs that the vet refused to provide any helpful advice to soothe her while she was in pain until we could bring her in. The veterinary technicians that we've talked to have been argumentative every time we've had a conversation on any of these issues. In conclusion: if your dog needs their knee replaced, this is your place to go; if you need any other service, you're better off going somewhere that actually cares about your pet. All these people care about is your money.

    Dr. Good, along with the other vets, vet techs, and office staff were beyond amazing with my first…read moretwo heelers (totaling ~25 years). Couldn't have asked for more in any way. Then something went really wrong during my third puppy's first nail trim, though, and she's been traumatized ever since. Not one vet will take her, not even today when she desperately needs a slipper taken out of her tummy. If my dog dies because no one will work on her thanks to her experience at GAH, it'll break my heart forever.

Starting with Dr.Nied an absolute wonder and I am so grateful for her straight forward approach and kind heart. Dr. Nied is attentive, honest, kind, extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about my pet. I could tell the moment we walked through the door this morning that we were in good hands!! Thank you so much for taking care of my special little guy. Brodie is my world we rescued each other! I will forever be grateful for your kindness and taking the time to acknowledge that my anxiety was important as well.Pet parents need reassurance that we are doing our best for our pet. As for the staff at Cottonwood Vet Clinic, they are extremely pleasant. The staff is so welcoming and sweet, they made me feel welcome and at ease, which is not an easy job when the pets parent is as anxious as I am!! You're doing an amazing job making a difference, keep up the great work! It is clear this team is exceptionally groomed and well trained by phenomenal leaders who have created a remarkable culture. We are thankful for each of you, your honesty and integrity is refreshing and appreciated. You're now stuck with our pet family for life, as we will be loyal to your services. Thank you So very much!!

    We had taken our animals to Cottonwood vet since we moved here in 2020. Last year our cat was…read morediagnosed with lymphoma and we had to put her down. In early February our dog developed a mass on his neck. Dr. Childress at Cottonwood said he had enlarged lymph nodes in his neck, suspected he had lymphoma, and aspirated the mass. The mass contained lymphocytes and lymphoblasts, and Dr. Childress confirmed lymphoma with this testing. He did not send the sample out for staging or do any other tests. Our dog also had no other symptoms. He started our lab on steroids to reduce the size of the lymph nodes to give him comfort and said we likely had a month or 2 with him until he succumbed to the disease. After a few days it dawned on me that no other labs were done initially. I took him back to Cottonwood at by that time he had elevated glucose and concern for pancreatitis. Granted, steroids may have been clouding the picture by this point. I asked for a second opinion so he was seen at Blue Pearl and ultimately diagnosed with diabetes. They saw no evidence for lymphoma or pancreatitis. I had asked Dr. Childress about the possibility of diabetes and asked if he could check his urine and he said the elevated glucose was from steroids. He did not test his urine. By the time he was seen at BP he was in ketosis and probably 3-4 days away from dying. Dr. Childress called me after the initial visit at BP and doubled down on his original diagnosis of lymphoma, disregarded the diabetes diagnosis completely and said "I think more is going on." I haven't been back to Cottonwood since. I established him at VCA Allendale and when I was explaining this history to the VCA vet she had me describe in detail and show her where the neck mass was and she said based on location and description it was likely an enlarged salivary gland and not enlarged nodes so he never should have been started on steroids in the first place. Giving steroids to an undiagnosed diabetic can have fatal consequences. Circle back to our cat also being diagnosed with lymphoma from Dr. Childress last year and now we're questioning if she also didn't have lymphoma since, as best we recall, she did not have enlarged nodes and never had anything aspirated to sample. She was losing weight despite eating, peeing more, and drinking more, all symptoms of undiagnosed diabetes. I recommend going elsewhere for your pets.
