    They are very professional and helpful. I've taken all my pets here. They do whatever they can to help our fur babies.

    The animal care itself is good and the vet took time to explain things to me and answer questions…read moreabout any concerns even unrelated to my specific reason for being there with my pet. Though they are a bit expensive and while there are options there for credit the process can take a few hours since you have to go through several steps first such as getting a quote on services.

    I am not satisfied with my experience at this hospital for several reasons. First of all, Dr…read more Purdy's bedside manner and demeanor are deplorable. When I first met with her to discuss the upcoming CT procedure on my cat, she was bizarrely upbeat, peppy, and cheerful when telling me that it was likely my cat had terminal cancer. I was completely taken aback and startled by the disconnect between what she was saying and how she was delivering that message. There was no compassion, empathy, or understanding that the message she was delivering was devastating - her demeanor was more in line with a positive, optimistic prognosis. In addition, she kept rearranging her hair and grooming her nails while talking to me about the looming death of my beloved pet and I just couldn't wait for her to leave the room. Later, when she called me to let me know the CT procedure was complete and my cat had woken up from sedation, she had the same peppy, cheerful attitude when telling me that the preliminary results were consistent with nasal lymphoma. She never once expressed condolences or acknowledged how upsetting this news would be. She never said anything like "I'm so sorry to deliver this news, this must be upsetting for you." She was annoyingly and inappropriately cheerful and peppy and bubbly. It was completely shocking and I could not believe what a terrible bedside manner she had. A few days later, she called me with the results of the CT and said that the images are consistent with nasal lymphoma, a terminal diagnosis as chemo/radiation are not financially feasible nor do I believe they will offer my cat any meaningful quality of life. Once again, her attitude, demeanor, and delivery were terrible and completely at odds with the somber and serious news she was delivering. Even when I choked up and started crying a little bit, she never expressed any compassion or empathy - she just continued on with her chipper and upbeat attitude. At one point, I mentioned how difficult it was to administer the pills that had been prescribed for my cat because he kept spitting them out and was starting to avoid me when I came towards him with the meds. In a bright and cheerful voice, she said "Yep I wouldn't be surprised if this interfered with your relationship with him and possibly shortened his lifespan!" I could not believe she said that - it made a difficult situation so march harder to handle. I have never experienced a healthcare professional with such a terrible ignorance and unawareness of their inappropriate demeanor. She needs very specific and targeted education and training on how to deliver bad news about her patients to their owners. Losing a pet is devastating and if she can't handle owners' emotions appropriately and carefully, she needs to find another job. I want to point out that I am a healthcare provider myself and I have had to deliver upsetting and sad news to patients many times over the course of my 20+ year career. I am ALWAYS aware of the impact of my demeanor and attitude on how my patients process what I'm saying. It's so important! Especially when bad news is being delivered, compassion for people's emotions should be TOP OF MIND!!! Finally, when I dropped my pet off in the morning, I was 100% clear that I wanted to be told about any and all "extras" that appeared on the invoice before anything additional was done. Dr. Purdy assured me that nothing additional or extra would be done without my permission. Later in the day, she called me during the CT scan procedure to say that a pharyngeal mass had also been identified (in addition to the nasal one) and asked if I gave my permission for this to be biopsied as well. She told me this would be an additional $400. I gave my consent and they moved forward. Later, when it came time to pay my bill there was a fee of $200 for the histopathology associated with this biopsy, which Dr. Purdy never told me about. She only said it would be $400 more. When I expressed my disappointment, nobody was willing to acknowledge that a mistake had been made. I spoke to the clinic manager and she just kept pointing to the "extras" listed on the original invoice as proof that it was ok to charge me this additional money, even when I told her that I had asked to be informed of all "extra" fees before anything was done. She then told me that they could just not send the tissue samples for histopathology, even though I would still have to pay $400 for the procedure. So in essence, I would have to pay $400 for nothing. After the upsetting interactions with Dr. Purdy described above, this added insult to injury and I just wanted to get out of there and go home and cry. I will not be coming back to this hospital if at all possible and I do not recommend it to anyone else.

    After moving here I needed a vet for my pup in case of emergencies, I still continue to go to my…read morevet in NJ if I am there during vaccinations but not for emergency cases. Someone suggested I visit here and it is not far from my house so I decided to check it out. The building is rather large and looks like it has a lot of space, there is a ramp to make it easily wheelchair and doggy accessible. The waiting room is large and spacious for people and their animals. I have been here twice and enjoyed my second visit much more than my first. I saw a different vet the first time and I much prefer Dr. Blaha, not that I did not enjoy the other lady but I have a preference. The rooms are a bit small but Dr. Blaha is extremely knowledgeable on her medicine and animals. She even gave us a script to get meds elsewhere knowing it was cheaper. It is a little 'old school' with the paper forms and billing but it is a nice facility and they have deals for new pet owners, which I like. The front desk employees were friendly. My only issue is that I don't get a line by line bill on the services and the receipt stapled, I'm not sure if this is me being picky but I think that they do a very good job here.

    They used to be very good. No longer. Paid over $700 to have my dogs nuts cut off, which is…read moreridiculous in and of itself. He had a follow up about a week and a half later. The day before they called me to verify. I told them I probably could not make it in due to work, but he was doing well. The said ok and asked if I wanted to cancel the appointment and just keep track if anything came up. I said yes. Today I get a letter in the mail saying because we missed the appointment we have to pay a fee equivalent to visit before he can be seen again! $700, they contacted me, and it was supposed to be cancelled, and now this. Years ago they were very good. In the past 3 years I have noticed they were going downhill. Higher prices, ok care but not like it used to be, rush you in and out. This is the final straw for us, we are taking our dogs elsewhere.
