I brought my cat in to establish care and flagged some serious concerns: he was losing weight…read morequickly, not eating much, and urinating outside his litter box. He had known kidney issues. They ran labs to check his levels, and during that same first visit they also gave him his rabies vaccine, despite me explaining that his previous vet had held off on it because of his kidney issues and pillow foot. Within 36 hours his health rapidly declined. He hid under the bed and cried, and I had to make the decision to let him go that Friday. Since this was their first time treating him and labs were still pending, I wish they had waited on the vaccine. I feel like the little time I had left with him was taken away. When I asked the doctor directly if the vaccine contributed to his decline, she chose to say it was simply his underlying health. That answer still bothers me, because up until the vaccine he was still very active, even though he wasn't eating as much. Grieving him has been incredibly hard, and it took months to start feeling any better. Then I received a condolence note in the mail, sent months after he passed rather than around the time it happened, and it brought all that grief right back.

Warning: Do NOT bring your pet to David A. Walker at Gateway Animal Hospital!…read moreI brought my perfectly healthy cat in for a routine rabies vaccine. What happened next was anything but routine. The vet aggressively pushed Q-tips so far into my cat's ear canal that it ruptured her eardrum and caused severe trauma. Within an hour of leaving, my cat was in obvious distress. I rushed her to an emergency veterinary clinic, where she was diagnosed with Horner's Syndrome -- a condition in cats that results from severe neurological or physical trauma. Half of her face was paralyzed for an entire month. Years later, she still has facial twitching. A routine vaccine visit left my cat with permanent damage. Please do your research before trusting this vet with your animal. What should have been a 10-minute appointment turned into a medical emergency and lasting neurological effects for my cat. No pet owner should have to go through this.

My boyfriend, pups, and I were in the area for just 8 months, and had to leave BMVH since we moved back to Texas, but if were still living in the area, we would definitely still be using BMVH. The veterinarians, assistants, doggy day care staff, and all other staff could not have been more nice...even on busy days, they took as much care as they could to be thorough, answer our questions, and give us a pleasant smile and hello/goodbye. Our dogs were comforted by the staff during their vet visits and seemed pretty at ease before and after their overnight/weekend stays. I also like that they bathed and trimmed our dogs' nails after each stay. They also offer "pupdates" - texting you pictures of your dogs every day or every other day while they are being boarded. It was really nice to see that our dogs were comfortable and being taken care of while we were away..and fun to get such cute pictures too! The staff and doctors are very professional and take the time to listen to any concerns you have about your pets, whether the appointment is a regular check up, or you have come in for some other reason. A note for anyone boarding their pets here, they are closed on Sundays, so you will have to pick your pets up on Monday - just something to remember; they are great, so I wasn't too bothered by leaving my dogs an extra day, just needed a bit more coordination between my bf and I for the pick up during a work day. Thanks for all the love and care for Lemon and Pepper while we were there - it was much appreciated and we would be back in a second if we weren't in Texas.

This was hands down the worst vet experience of my life. I came in today because my dog was having…read moreintestinal issues. I brought a poop sample to Dr. Stewart and he didn't even use it. Then when I went back to the room he lectured me about my dog's behavior and how I was handling it when the dog was barking from stress. He prescribed some medicine and told me to not feed my dog. My dog continued to be very agitated that afternoon and I had to take him out incredibly frequently. He was acting not like himself and I called the vet again and he said that he didn't consider a dog distressed unless they were actively seizing, bleeding, etc., and told me to take him on a walk. I knew my dog was distressed since he'd never behaved like this in 12 years. I took my dog for a walk and he calmed down but two hours later he was acting distressed again. So I took him for a second walk and he pooped blood. I call the vet immediately and he tells the front desk staff that the office is closing and i should just go to the emergency room. EXTREMELY awful experience. DO NOT go here. Doctor did not take my concerns seriously and my dog may have suffered and still be suffering because of it.

They are extremely accommodating and are able to see my rabbits the day of if need be. Additionally, they have walk-in appointments that are about twice the amount of a normal exam fee, which are very convenient for emergencies. The vets always follow up after a visit, and they also respond by e-mail quickly. All the staff (receptionists and vet techs) are so nice as well. I also wanted to note that a lot of the reviews state that they should have been provided more information. I feel that I'm always provided the information I need, but I'm also well-versed in rabbit care to determine what questions I need to ask about my rabbits' care. If you're not asked about blood work, you should be asking instead of wondering why you haven't been asked? Doing blood work has always been made clear to me before procedures, and I know that they would be more than happy to run a panel for your pet. I have had one experience with Dr. Donato in my three years as a client and did not find him to be "arrogant or money-hungry" at all. He told me that I seemed like I knew what I was doing in terms of taking care of my rabbit and even took me to the back to let me see the x-ray of my rabbit's stomach.

PART 2- REPLY I SAID WHAT I SAID....AND I MEANT WHAT I…read moreSAID! Your response speaks volumes, and now I totally understand why your front office staff/office manager are the way they are and why they mishandled this situation. 1. It doesn't matter who is registered on your records, it is OUR FAMILY pet, AND I am the one who brings our rabbit in for treatment and pays the bills! So, if my daughter isn't around, I am the one that is to be addressed...Period! 2. I have been living while being BLACK for 56 years now, and how dare you tell me who/what isn't racist to me, or state how I should or shouldn't feel during some of the interactions I've had there. 3. You need to speak what you know and not what you were told. You have a bunch of false and twisted statements in your response. You weren't there, and by chance you were, you should have stood up and handled the situation in a correct and professional manner. 4.Your office manager DID NOT apologize to my daughter at all. The apology only came when I spoke to her and brought it to her attention that she didn't, only then did she apologize to me. Also, you failed to comment on the threat that your office manager made (which is probably you) insinuating that I should not make the statement that I felt this situation was racially motivated. I'm not surprised though after reading your response and you or your staff not taking any accountability. Some food for thought. It's not always what you say, it's HOW you say it! That's customer service 101. 5. Speaking of being rude? Well maybe if you train your front line not to be rude, then maybe they would not receive it back. Try training them to be kind and helpful, instead of short and snippy! And for the record, I am only referring to about 3 people on the front-line staff that I have encountered within this last year 6. I could go on and on, but it's so not worth it. But I will say in closing, we don't need your validation or approval to take our business elsewhere. I made that clear that we no longer want anything to do with people who can't own up to a mistake that was caused on their end and effectively rectify it with grace, class and professionalism.
