    Tomlinson and his staff care about their patients and I concur with other reviewers that the price is more than fair.

    On August 25th, I brought my hedgehog to AEHNT for emergency care. Upon arrival, I was promptly…read moregreeted by staff and taken into an exam room while my pet was taken to the back for vitals. The technician informed me that his temperature was so low it wouldn't register, so they placed him in an incubator while waiting for a doctor. I then sat for over an hour and a half before finally speaking to Dr. Brands. From the start, his focus was on his computer creating an estimate, not on my hedgehog. He briefly mentioned doing an ultrasound (which showed "nothing significant"), said they had given "oral sugar," but that my pet was still lethargic. Throughout, he made little to no eye contact, and instead talked extensively about the cost of hospitalization -- quoting me $3,000-$4,000 -- before even performing basic diagnostics. He presented me with three options: hospitalization, taking him home with fluids and a liquid diet, or euthanasia. He spoke over me and my mom for nearly twenty minutes, barely allowing us to ask questions. At one point, he even admitted, "I don't know a lot about these guys -- he could just be old." The estimate I was handed was $4,000-$6,000. When I asked if they had rechecked his temperature (almost 2 hours after the first attempt), they had not -- only then agreeing it was "a good idea." When I asked if a simple blood glucose check had been done, I was told it would require invasive catheter placement unless I agreed to the high estimate. Only when I specifically suggested a foot or ear prick did he acknowledge they "could try." At that point, I had already decided to seek care elsewhere. I also mentioned that I work at another emergency veterinary hospital, and instead of showing more professionalism, Dr. Brands dismissed me with, "So you've been holding out on me -- you already know everything I said." When I went to see my hedgehog in the treatment area, I was horrified. He was in an incubator with oxygen but no heat support despite being hypothermic. They had given subcutaneous fluids -- which is inappropriate for a hypothermic patient. As I arrived, he was gasping for air. The technician admitted this had "just started," yet Dr. Brands brushed it off, saying there had been no respiratory distress on his exam. He then walked away and never returned. Within ten minutes, my hedgehog began agonal breathing. I held him in my arms as he passed. The technician confirmed his death -- but I never saw or heard from Dr. Brands again. He did not acknowledge that his patient had died, nor did he provide any comfort or closure. I had called ahead to confirm there was an exotic doctor available, and this hospital is supposed to be a leading facility for exotics. Instead, my hedgehog was given inadequate, careless care in his final moments. I am not upset that my hedgehog passed -- he was elderly -- but I am devastated that he suffered unnecessarily because of the lack of urgency, compassion, and basic medical standards from the doctor.

I was not a client at the time, but the staff was beyond kind and compassionate, didn't rush when I wanted to say my final goodbyes, and handled her with the utmost care. When I got my Goldendoodle pup in 2021, this clinic was the only place I wanted her to go for vet care. She saw Dr. Thompson post-Covid, so the clinic was still "drop off only." The tech was so sweet with my pup, loved on her in the car, and carried her inside to keep her calm and happy. Dr. Thomason immediately called after her shots and check-up and answered all questions I had regarding the visit. Never did I feel rushed or unimportant. Dr. Thompson is kind and extremely knowledgeable - you can tell she really loves her job! Poppy adores her vet and the staff! She loves going in to see everyone and makes sure to give all the love she can to some of her favorite people. I cannot recommend this clinic enough for your pet's veterinary care. The prices are reasonable, the waiting room is clean, and the care is amazing!

But after his retirement, the quality of care declined--culminating in an unacceptable and unprofessional interaction with Dr. Erin Hauser. During a call about a serious and unexplained 8-pound weight loss in my dog over 60 days, I voiced reasonable concerns and asked direct questions about how this could have gone unnoticed. Dr. Hauser became immediately defensive, deflected blame to a vet tech, and ultimately hung up on me mid-call--claiming I was being "hostile." I was not. I was clear, firm, and appropriately concerned for my dog's health. Her response was reactive and unprofessional. I contacted the practice manager, Jennifer, who acknowledged this was not acceptable and said she expected Dr. Hauser to apologize. Instead, I was told Dr. Hauser cried and refused. After that, the practice went silent--no apology, no accountability, and no further communication. The final blow came when I received my pet's medical records. The notes had clearly been updated after the fact to include gaslighting language and self-protective reframing--mischaracterizing me as hostile, emotional, and irrational while avoiding any acknowledgment that a licensed vet had hung up on a concerned client. It was a textbook case of rewriting the narrative to protect the provider rather than the patient. That's not just unprofessional--it's unethical. This clinic once stood for high-quality, compassionate care. What I experienced was a breakdown in clinical standards, emotional deflection, and a vet more invested in defending herself than caring for the animal. I've taken my dog--and her records--elsewhere. I'm sharing this for every pet owner who expects honesty, care, and professionalism from their vet. You should never be gaslit or silenced for advocating for your animal.

A couple of weeks after her passing, we received a condolence card from the clinic. Each staff member wrote a touching message.

High cost treatments in situations where it is absolutely not necessary, all why trying to play on the emotions of our love for fur baby. We saw right through it. We just nodded and smiled and sad no thank you. For example, Our past vet was a guru. (He also treated exotics, had a TV show with live call in questions, and would always err on the least invasive approach first when suspecting a diagnosis.) We are also on our third dog of this breed. We questioned him about a situation (two dogs ago, 12+ years) He said, "leave it alone. Those situations work best when nature takes its course. Intervening could only result in long term complications with their tiny jaw bone." Much experience with this and many years later, the vet at AHCS went on and on about tests & surgery needed immediately. ‍ She was a piece of work! (We were like, thank you, but can we just get the script for heart worm meds?) The other times they have manufactured concerns and played on the negative outcomes if we don't do something (again not what we were there for). The joke is on them. They don't know my husband is a trauma boarded physician. When he asks why chase a rare/odd suspicion when there is no sign during daily living and no treatment anyway? They (especially techs) look like a deer in the headlights. Their reply was "don't you want to know?" Ha! He said, "I prefer to wait for symptoms before I begin investigating. " Beware!!! They will rack up a huge bill for NOTHING if you let them play on your emotions!!
