While MOST of the veterinary care there had been superb (although REALLY overpriced each time),…read morewhat finally opened my eyes to what this place is actually about, was when my cat got extremely sick around January 6th and I had to take him in. I had just spent a whole lot of money on the Christmas holiday and had $664 left to spare for my cat to receive help. As I explained to Dr Leadman that I would be paid in a week from work again, if there were anything else past the 664 I was able to pay that day then I would gladly pay the remainder of the bill in a week. I was immediately shot down and they made sure the bill came out to exactly $664. Well then a front desk staff member called me to ask if my cat was any better and I told her he was not. She said she would note that on my chart for Dr Leadman but she knew that I had said that I didn't get paid for a week. Well would you believe that down to the exact day that following week. DR LEADMAN calls and leaves a voicemail to check in and see how things are going and if my cat wasn't doing any better then "I may want to bring him back in for another exam and maybe some more x-rays." I would have more respect for that voicemail had she came right out and just said "We know you got your paycheck today, so come back in and we can see what amount you are willing to waste on another trip here and send you home with a cat that is still sick. BRING MONEY!!!" Like I said at the beginning of this review, most of the veterinary care that my pets received here was great, Dr. Dascolli was amazing and several other experiences there were also fine, but to bleed anyone down to the exact dollar amount they tell you they have to spare AND send them and their pet home still sick and suffering, THEN call back "to check in" the day that you know there is more money that you can possibly rip them off for? That's despicable and enough for me to never return there again for any reason. Lesson learned!

Trusting these people I didn't think anything of it until I go to take the collar off and she has an open sore around her neck from the collar. I called the vet, upset as anybody would be, and I was met with no apology. I was then hung up on by the front desk clerk or whoever took the phone from her. I would never take my animals here again, especially with how they handled their mistake.

There have been many times I don't know we would have navigated situations without her. The tradition continues with Dr. Hancock. She & her staff are extremely knowledgeable and care about your fuzzy family member like they are her own. If there is a problem that requires a specialist she is willing to find the best specialist for the issue. I have had the pleasure of her helping with the sadness of making rough decisions that no one wants to make and the joys of welcoming new family members. This clinic will do everything within its power to help your fuzzy baby.

Let's try this again, without the personal insults. As it seems that we can only refer to specific…read moreemployees if we have something positive to say. Additionally, I guess we'll continue to use a public forum since my many requests to speak to someone significant other than a nameless employee that acts like the boss has been ignored in favor of replying to my provocative review online. According to the records that the only pleasant and helpful staff member on duty this afternoon, other than the ladies at the Answering Service (we'll get to THAT later), sent me hours before the response that prompted this second less emotional yet more factual review: I have been there at least 50 times over the last 4 years and spent over $7,485.10 during that time. (More if we count the records I don't think I received since moving to your practice in 2020. Bernadette was born in June of 2020 and had her first puppy exam with you all around September, so there should be more records than I received. And yet more still, if we count the times I have been there on behalf of my dog training clients that have been with me just as long as I've been coming to you.) If over 50 trips into your establishment and being on first name basis with many of your staff members doesn't distinguish me from the so-called "masses" as you called me, then my dog tribe and I will happily spend our money somewhere else. In this economy, every penny counts and I won't be undervalued as a client or a person. As for arriving twenty minutes late to a nurse appointment for a blood draw and medication refill that only takes a few minutes during a down pouring extreme thunder storm & tornado watch complete with flash flooding, I know your policy. I understand that arriving on time is important, I hate running behind and felt awful. THAT'S WHY I CALLED YOU. Only, it wasn't you, was it. Despite having two employees at the front desk when I arrived, an answering service picked up my call and they are the ones that assured me that it was ok, thanks for letting them know, and please drive safe. Imagine my dismay when an employee that has seen me many times over the years took over my check in with other employee of shift to snidely inform me that my appointment was at 2:20p and it was 2:40p. When I told them that I had called ahead to let them know I was running late due to the weather, instead of moving on or handling the 'answering service protocol mishap' internally, the consistently rude-to-me employee questioned me as to whom I had spoken, as if I was lying. While I offered to show them my phone call log, they looked up my call and responded that the answering service was the one who I had talked to. How is that my fault? I did my due diligence, and your 'Client Care Advocate' should have done theirs before treating me like dirt. Even if it didn't occur to them to look up my calls to see if I had phoned ahead before attempting to put me in my place, they could have been a little kinder about it. Maybe have your Client Care Team try something like "Hey, Trinity, I see you're running twenty minutes late for your appointment with Sunny." Nice. Personal. You know, the kind of care that clients pay for. But that's not what happened and you can check your camera footage. When I questioned the rude nameless employee about their constant attitude towards me, their response was an apathetic "I'm sorry you feel that way." Somewhere around that time, they also told me that I would have to wait until the only other client in the building was seen. That was no problem, I agreed. Of course I don't want to hold up another client trying to care for their pet because I was running behind. How interesting when the client being referred to approached me while their dog was getting seen to commiserate with me about how drastically the customer service had declined over the years. Again, you can check the cameras. It's all there. That validation was the last confirmation I needed to take my business elsewhere after many unpleasant interactions with rude nameless employee and some others. That acknowledgment by another animal professional and total stranger who literally witnessed the entire interaction was enough to convince me that I wasn't overreacting in taking my business somewhere it is valued.

The receptionist was really nice on the phone and helped walked me through things even in my panic. My regular vet did not have the ability to "work us in". Hurricane Animal Hospital was VERY busy but they did everything my pet needed because he was so sick. I spoke with a veterinary technician when I brought my boy in for the admission appointment, but the doctor called me as soon as he was able with an update! Unfortunately I know some clients with scheduled appointments had to wait longer than normal, BUT I am so appreciative there is someone in out area who will go above and beyond when our pets are in true need. When I came Friday to get my pet who had been hospitalized they were taking in a stray from the Animal Shelter who was also in bad shape. Even when there is not an owner to pay the bill they are doing what is best for animals! I know I will never go anywhere else! Thank you! My boy is home and getting better every day!
