Dr. Armes is a joke of an emergency vet…read more Yesterday we brought in our 7 year old husky mix after she got in a tiff with our friend's dog who came over to visit. The friends' dog was unfortunately not well behaved as expected and caused a 2cm deep .8inch long cut below our dog's left eye. It appeared as if it could use a stitch or two to close it up, but our biggest concern was that our dog had just been treated for an eye infection in that same eye. We were worried that the eye infection could travel into the fresh wound. And so we did what any responsible pet owner would do in this circumstance: take her to the emergency vet for a round of antibiotics, a cleaning, and to stitch the wound up. And that was our mistake. Little did we know that Dr. Armes was ready and on an incompetence warpath on this night. While we were there for 3 hours, our dog was left in a back room for observation. Dr. Armes then asked a series of questions. Most of which were absolutely ridiculous, insulting, and incredibly unprofessional. Here's some of the questions following for example: 1. Have you eaten, honey? You seem cranky. Like you should probably eat. 2. What food does the dog eat? When did she last eat? Are you on the food recall lists? You really should be. It's kind of ridiculous if you're not. Do you even care about your dog? 3: Oh, you got married today and you're up here without your husband on your wedding night. You obviously must have married a great man. [My wife and her maid of honor (who is a trained vet tech herself, runs a farm, owns a grooming business, and has all of her dog's records) were the ones present, and suggested that I not come due to the ridiculousness of 3 people there for 1 dog.] 4: What flea and tick medicine is she on? Nexguard?? Oh ok. But like which one? Is it nexguard, nexguard plus? Etc. ------------ Here's some additional ridiculous statements to drive the point home: 1: No we will not clean and stitch her eye. And if any vet would without putting her to sleep with general anesthetic and exploration of the wound then that vet clearly has no idea what they're doing and you shouldn't trust them. 2: We expect you to leave her for Anesthesia, Surgery, and then a night of overnight observation. 3: Well if you don't want to do that then you can just take her to her regular vet tomorrow. ---------- Here's some more crazy facts to add: We had to beg for a penicillin shot to keep her eye infection from traveling to her open wound. Dr. Armes never asked or requested information or records regarding vaccine status, of either dog. (I'm not a vet and even I know the first thing to check is for up-to-date rabies vaccines after a "dog fight".) We had to beg for the wound to be flushed, and our dog sat there for 3 hours while we went back and forth with Dr. Armes before she would clear the flush and penicillin shot. Naturally her vet tech did those 2 things, Dr Armes herself was just there as an argumentative obstacle with terrible people skills. She did absolutely nothing of value during the entirety of the visit. We did take our dog to her regular vet this morning, and our vet was absolutely appalled when we informed them that the dog was denied a flush and stitch and shot for 3 hours before finally getting any measure of care. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time that Dr. Armes name has come up at my regular vet office. Noted, that her name is never brought up in a positive light. We are planning on stopping by to speak with her supervisor today, and if that does not go well we'll be attempting contact with the owner to take the next steps forward. Dr. Armes is a risk to the pets we adore, and disrespectful to their owners. She should not be on your staff. UPDATE: Since posting this we have received confirmation from our regular vet that no surgery, stitches, or anesthesia will be necessary. I wonder what that un necessary care would have cost?

We've used Linderman for our two cats in the three years we've had them and have always been quite…read morehappy with the care they've provided. You can grab OTC pet meds (like flea prevention) as well as Hill's Science Diet pet food from their lobby if you need it quickly, though the food at least is more expensive than it is at, say, PetSmart. In the last month or so, we encountered a stray cat hanging around the back of our house. Sweet little thing, I swear - but she nipped my ankle when she got too excited as we fed her and it broke the skin. Since she had no apparent owner that we could find (no collar, chip, or missing cat posters/social media posts to be found) and no papers to prove rabies vaccination, she had to be put in a 10 day quarantine. Linderman kindly agreed to board and observe her for us on very short notice. It was an increased fee, but the peace of mind in knowing she wouldn't be afraid or uncomfortable at Animal Control was worth it to us. We also knew we could reliably call Linderman and get an immediate answer / update on her condition when we wanted, even during the holiday season, which eased my terrible anxiety considerably. When they released her to us 10 days later (no rabies! Yay!), they helped us get her up to date on shots and provided helpful tips on how to peacefully introduce her to our resident cats while we work on finding her a new home. They also quickly agreed to and are getting us in for a spay surgery - invaluable, since she went into her first heat about three days after we brought her home and the resulting yowling makes working from home difficult! We have seen Dr. Clare Shannon for pretty much all our needs since first choosing Linderman for our pets. She's smart, personable, and approachable, and takes plenty of time providing insight and kind suggestions when it comes to cat care. She really does seem to love and understand cats, which is nice -- sometimes you get a vet who very obviously prefers dogs, lol. My parents also see Dr. Shannon for their cat, CC (Covid Cat - he found them mid-pandemic) and love her. They've boarded CC while going on vacation at Linderman a couple of times and he came back to them in great condition, though with a bloated ego from how popular he was among the staff! The techs are compassionate and friendly and always have nice words for your pet. And the front office staff has been so patient with all of my cat-bite emergency, rabies paranoia, and cat-in-heat emergency calls. I have been a frenzied, panicked mess, and they've been sympathetic and patient despite how annoying I'm sure I've been. We will continue to use Linderman for any and all of our veterinary needs. We love Dr. Shannon and all the staff!

Extraordinary Veterinary Care That Goes Far Beyond Expectations…read more I brought my Jack Russell Terrier, Ammo, to Dr. Murdock at Magnolia Vet Clinic on a Saturday, thinking he just had an upset stomach. I was immediately comforted to find that Dr. Murdock was open and able to fit us in without hesitation. From the moment we arrived, he treated Ammo with gentle, focused care--and treated me with kindness and respect. A few days later, Ammo began showing additional symptoms. Dr. Murdock ran bloodwork and diagnosed him with renal failure. As my heart sank, Dr. Murdock remained a steady, optimistic presence. He created a detailed care plan that involved Ammo staying overnight for a week. What stood out was his transparency: he provided an itemized quote from lowest to highest cost, and explained the treatment thoroughly, helping me make informed decisions during an incredibly emotional time. Throughout Ammo's stay, I was allowed to visit multiple times a day. The staff even provided a private room so I could spend quiet, comforting time with Ammo to lift his spirits. Every single staff member I encountered was incredibly gracious, patient, and understanding. I'm sure I was an interruption to their busy day, but they never once made me feel that way. Their warmth and professionalism went far beyond what the word "kind" can express--they were truly exceptional. After the third day, Ammo took a turn for the worse. Dr. Murdock was honest, compassionate, and met me late at night to administer pain medication so I could spend meaningful final moments with my beloved companion. The next morning, I brought Ammo in for observation, per Dr. Murdock's instruction, and for comfort care until the euthanasia was performed. I was devastated, but Dr. Murdock's empathy never wavered. He and his staff member Jennifer came to my home so Ammo could transition peacefully, surrounded by love--my husband and I by his side. I was still emotional, and Dr. Murdock offered to help my husband with the burial process. We live on a small farm, and although my husband told him it wasn't necessary, Dr. Murdock helped anyway. This was well after his normal hours of operation--a gesture that speaks volumes about his compassion, dedication, and humanity. Dr. Murdock and his team don't just care for animals--they care deeply for the people who love them. In one of the hardest moments of my life, they gave me peace, dignity, and unwavering support. Their balance of optimism and realism, paired with their extraordinary kindness, is something I will never forget. If you are searching for a veterinarian who treats your pet like family and walks with you through every step--no matter how difficult--Dr. Murdock and Magnolia Vet Clinic are truly exceptional. Their care is not just clinical; it's personal, heartfelt, and rare.

I called them immediately, told them what was going on and asked if they could try to make her throw them yup. They said yes, so off we went. We got there close to 2 am. Everyone from the front end staff to the vet were great. Very caring, explained everything well, and gave me options along with estimated costs for each so I could make informed decisions. They got her to vomit, but not much came up and they could still see a lot of debris in her stomach. They suggested keeping her overnight and trying to flush everything through. They said if that did not work, surgery would be the next option. They called me Sunday morning and said the debris had not moved and felt surgery was needed so I gave the okay. Surgery went well and she is back to being my happy and healthy girl. I am very thankful they were there when my other vet was closed and saved my girl.

When we needed to euthanize our sweet fur-baby on the Saturday after Christmas, we contacted Dr. Lorge, fully expecting to have to wait until Monday to have the service provided (after all, other than emergency hospitals, what veterinarians work on the weekend?). Dr. Lorge immediately agreed to come to our home to help us send our baby over the Rainbow Bridge. Words can't adequately describe the caring, dignified way in which she handled the situation. She was able to make what is the worst possible experience for a pet-parent into a more peaceful goodbye. We hope we don't need to call her any time soon for our other fur-baby, but because of Dr. Lorge, we know we will be more at peace when the time comes.
