    It is great that Crawford County still has this available - the support staff and Dr. Lueking are…read morewonderful. I would give them a very good rating. This rating is based solely on my one, and only, experience with Mike Bailey. I have a small (8.5 lb) dog and as recommended by Dr. Lueking during her annual physical this summer, she needed her teeth cleaned. Dr. Lueking has seen Maggie a few times with no troubles at all. A few days before the procedure to have her teeth cleaned, I had to take her in for a blood draw. I have always been with her during her visits there, but this time they took her back to the lab and said it would be just a minute. It took 20 minutes and the Practice Manager and one of the Kennel Technicians came out looking like they had wrestled and alligator! :) They said Maggie had really struggled with the blood draw. I had a nice one-on-one conversation later with the Practice Manager about this and she mentioned that with small pets, they can be squirmy. Also, it is harder to find a vein and they often have to stick the pets 2 or 3 times, and as she mentions "Nobody would like that!" She did say that Maggie did not try to bite anyone. With that as the background, it is now the day of her procedure. In walks Mike and with a completely different demeanor that Dr. Lueking. He asks "what are we doing for him?"... my dog is a female, Maggie. (Looking back at the situation, I know he would have/should have read her file, and it became obvious he knew that her blood draw didn't go well) After I corrected him, he says "Let's take a look" and goes to check her teeth. Maggie bristles a bit and he grabs the scruff of her neck, hard and tightly, and says "You are not in charge today" - at which point, Maggie is so frightened that she releases both her bladder and bowels, all over me, the exam table and floor. Mike snickered and said "she got you" and handed me some paper towels to clean up. I was shocked. He then proceeds to lecture me as to why this happened, sounding like a dog whisperer wanna be. After all of that and the cleanup, he came back with her shot to put her under. I held her and she only winced when the shot went in her back leg. He gave us a minute and then took her, told me it would be a few hours. I told Maggie to "be a good girl" and his response was "oh, she won't have a thing to say". Taken alone, yes she would be under and wouldn't be barking or squirming. Given everything that happened, it sounded more like a threat or a "I will control this dog" type of statement. After I left, I was pretty upset and emailed them letting them know this. When I went to get her, he said "I have a note here - let's talk". I'll be honest, I was upset and let him know it. He immediately put up his defenses, never apologized for anything, and in fact, started to tell me I wasn't welcome back at all, but stopped short and said that he wouldn't allow me to see him again, which was a given anyway. I believe, he had heard that the techs had trouble with the blood draw, and came in prepared to show her, and me, that HE would be in control and not take any crap from an 8.5 lb dog. He also did a couple of other very childish gestures as I was paying my bill and said "don't act like this isn't the dog's fault" So, I would say to avoid this guy at all costs, especially if you have a small pet.

    We are traveling and out poor little Yorkie, Moie, isn't feeling well. The service was fast and…read moreamazing! The staff was friendly and very good with our little baby! Thank you soo much to Dr. Corey England and her staff here at the animal hospital! We appreciate everything you've done!
