We've been going there for a while, and every single time I make an appointment, we end up waiting…read more20+ minutes each time after checking in. I get it, sometimes the office is full and they are running behind, not a big Issue. But today we were running behind and ending up being 10mins late for an appointment. When I went to check in, they turned us away. We never received an appointment reminder or a courtesy call, and said we needed to reschedule weeks into the future. Ive never seen the office that empty before so the fact they couldn't fit us in, after running 10 minutes behind surprised me. After going there for years, the reality is they'll make you wait an hour in the lobby before seeing you (if they are running behind), but if you're 10 minutes late, they don't have any grace and you and your pet are out of luck.

Poor care high prices. This vet hospital misdiagnosed my dog for over 3 yrs. If they had done the…read moreproper tests and medication, he would still be alive.

Not to mention, they messed up his neutering, and he was hospitalized for over a week, costing me over $2000. Worse vets ever.

We were on vacation upstate and we didn't know of any Vets to goto. We were staying the weekend and I knew he couldn't wait till we got home. We called various places and they had no appointments, even with my pleas of my dog's issue. Oneonta Veterinary had one that day, I was so relieved. We saw the Veterinarian Dr Denise and she was nice and caring. I just wanted to thank the team for getting us in the same day and taking care of my dog and giving him the medicine he needed!!!

We needed a new Vet in the area because our Vet for 20 years passed away. It was a sad time…read more About 3 weeks after our initial visit here with Dr Clark, my dog developed a problem. A very painful problem with her neck. When I called the office extremely concerned about my dog, I asked to speak to Dr Clark. On the call back from the Secretary, I was told that they couldn't see us for 3 weeks and that I should take the dog to a local emergency room Vet Hospital. The Dr didn't even get on the phone for a second to find out what was the problem. When I pressed the Secretary to tell me how or why they can turn their backs on my dog, I was told that they have "too many appointments and emergencies" and cannot see my dog for "three weeks"! When I asked why they don't consider mine an 'emergency' she just kept repeating, we cannot see you for three weeks. The lack of concern, compassion and responsibility is overwhelming. I would NOT recommend this Dr to anyone who has a heart, who cares about their pet or anyone who depends on a Dr for treatment, thoroughness, compassion or concern. Just awful. Three weeks they told me. How disgusting is that?!

She even helped him train to the litter box, which he won't use at home. He's an indoor-outdoor cat at home, and although he refuses to use the box here, she said that he will use it there. The last time he stayed, as soon as he was out of the carrier, he was up on the window ledge watching birds, totally at home. Pam even sent an email partway through his stay with a picture. There are individual rooms with glass doors and a big window with a ledge for each cat or cat family, and a "common area" that they can take turns using, with toys to play with and things to climb. The main door is kept locked to keep the kitties safe. You need to bring vet records of up-to-date vaccinations and she asks you to sign a permission paper in case vet care is necessary. This is the very best place for your cat to be while you are away.

My 14 y/o dog went there for senior dog check-up. We wanted to get a prescription renewed which…read morerequired the dog be seen. Dr. Jones was seeing her; a new vet to us. We were told dog needed rabies vax. We didn't think so but they said they checked their records and it was needed so they gave her the vax. The vet listened to dog's heart, spoke about ways to deal with elderly dog issues and then left. We got a written prescription at the front desk and discovered the vet only gave dog 2 refills. I asked why and was told it's vet's discretion as to number of refills. (Previous vet gave 6 months of refill.) As this office charges $10 per written script (they will not speak w outside pharmacies by phone) I could see reasoning is most definitely monetary - less refills, more scripts at $10 a pop! When we got home I checked my dog's records and found that she did not need rabies vax yet - a certificate given to us by same vet office showed dog's vax was good til 2027! When I raised this issue to them, they brushed it off as maybe a new computer glitch. No apology, no concern about our dog and no refund offered. This entire outing cost $158.00! Imagine! My recommendation is steer clear! ***update*** - to be fair, a "site leader" from vet center did reach out 2 days later to offer a refund for vax. He also indicated that we should call about refills and perhaps they would be granted and we wouldn't have to bring our dog in to see vet. In my world, this is is damage control - the experience has been upsetting and distasteful!

They did finally agree to give me a refund, but they also missed vaccinations for my other Chihuahua that I had been bringing in regularly for Care. When I asked Dr. Gillette why or how they missed those vaccinations she said she didn't know. Their prices have gone sky high as with every corporate entity. You know this country is capitalistic everything's about making as much money on whatever you can use to make money. I think it's time for me to look around for someone that will give better care and not charge me a mortgage payment to see my dog.

They sent my dog home on a Thursday with antibiotics for a failing liver. They said the antibiotics would maybe take up to a week to make her feel better, so we waited. They told me they would respond to my texts because they would be closed Fri-Sun. When I texted on Saturday to ask for help because my dog still wasn't eating, they didn't respond for 7.5 hours. And then they were rude in their responses. Sunday morning we took her to an emergency vet and the vet read the SAME exact blood test results that VCA ran and sat us down to tell us that our dog would have low quality of life moving forward and that every day would be a struggle. VCA should have said that and had a direct conversation with me. They could have spared me the two days of watching my dog suffer. When your dog is in their final days, you would hope that the people who are taking care of your dog are compassionate. I think it was 4pm on a Thursday and the vet just did not want to take the time to actually explain what was going on and guide us. Luckily the emergency vet in Syracuse took care of us and was great at her job.

On Friday, July 21st, while I was sitting in Basset ER with my mother who was experiencing heart-related issues, her dog, distraught and searching for her, got away from my husband and was hit by a car. The gentleman who hit Cooper immediately stopped, as did an off-duty State Trooper who was behind the car that hit my Mom's dog. We live less than 5 minutes from Cooperstown Veterinary Clinic and both the gentleman and the State Trooper accompanied my husband to the clinic. My husband walked into the clinic with Cooper wrapped in a towel, who was bleeding, and explained that Cooper had been hit by a car and pleaded for help. The staff member behind the counter literally threw her hands in the air and said "we can't do anything!" Evidently, there was not a vet on the premises, although their hours of operation state they are open from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm and it was 4:00 pm. There was no compassion or assistance offered. There was another staff member present and she repeated the message that nothing could be done to help this dog, however, she was kind enough to call Heritage Veterinary to see if they could help. Heritage told her that the doctor was "just leaving" - obviously not concerned enough or willing to remain a few minutes to help an injured animal. If you are looking for a compassionate, caring, well-staffed facility to care for your pets, stay away from both of these places!
