RIP OFF MERCHANTS Oh my what an interesting read this has been. I have a Lhasa lapso dexter he is 3 years old and my little devil to put it truthfully after an examination I was told they thought he had a grass seed in this paw, there are two options local and knock out, as he wriggles a lot and my other dog has an issue with his back legs caused by being held still I wanted him asleep less stress for him and easier for the vets it will cost £60 upto a max of £100. What a shock I had, first I get a call saying they had tried to do it under local but could not find anything so believed it had come out I told them I was not happy and to do what we agreed and put him completely under just as well as they then proceeded to find it. On picking him up I am told my bill was £270 rather a lot more than the max estimate I think one of the vets or an assistant looked into it and it even said on his notes max £100 for the same operation she did some juggling and my bill ended up approx. £170 £22 for bandages etc not covered in the estimate. He has since ripped his dressings off and I managed to rearrange his appointment to an early morning but since I managed to redress this myself I called and left a message on their answer phone saying I needed to keep the 720 pm appointment and left my contact number if there were any issues. On calling to confirm the 720 pm I was told I had missed my am appointment they don't have n answer phone followed by they have one but it don't work then it does not give you the chance to leave message OH MY AT LEAST GET YOUR STORY STRAIGHT I FELT LIKE SHOUTING, my 7.20 evening appointment had been cancelled after several more excuses including I'm just the receptionist and been on holiday so don't know what's happened said I was putting a complaint in writing I am told to just pop in they will see me not on your nelly springs to mind this is my second time I have been over charged that I am aware off.
Last year he as rather sick after being kept on a drip for a couple of days I was rather surprised at a very large £500+ bill but in good faith I paid it before checking it through, As I sat waiting I took my glasses out and read through it to find I have been charged extra nights, they made some excuses but refunded the over payment. read more
