I have been taking my Yorkies to Dr. Bruce on Middle Urbana Rd for almost 15 years. It's a clean office and staff are professional. I love when Dr. Bruce is the one treating my dogs. But for the past year or so Ive had his vet tech or another vet Looking after them. Also nice people. I have had a few disappointing attempts to get my dog in. Once last year when my Rudi was dying from a medication I gave him. The office was closed and had to go to Northside and Dr. King met me at his office and saved him.
Just this week Rudi was having problems breathing and had fainted the day before . I called to see if I could bring him in and they couldn't get him in for 2 1/2 hours. Once again Northside got him in sooner they treated him and he passed away at home that night. They called the next day to check on him and the Vet was nice and she was so caring.
My other Yorkie Buckeye was dropping weight and not eating well before our trip to a Florida. I took him in and said I needed his teeth checked and blood work to make sure he was okay or to get medication for our 3 month trip. Well Buckeye got worse in Florida. Found out he had worms and a badly infected back tooth and his Kidneys were shutting down. I Called Dr. Bruce's office to see if his blood work showed anything and possibly got overlooked. Well she never took blood work. Dr. Dupree said his tooth had been infected for awhile and that should have been noted and treated . and if they would of done blood work we would have known before we left Ohio at least he would have something to compare too. Dr. Dupree said $1100. To treat him or consider putting him down. UGH my heart dropped to the ground.
My Buckeye is still ALIVE because of Dr. Bruce. . He told me to give Buckeye Sub Fluids and antibiotics. And His treatment is working. My Buckeye has improved enough that we are not going to put him down. I love Dr. Bruce and would take my pets back to him. He is caring and easy to talk to. A few bad incidents don't define a business or a doctor. He has a very busy business and I now know to have an emergency vet for back up. read more
