West End Veterinary Clinic - Dr. Mason and Johnathan

West End Veterinary Clinic

TL;DR: Do not pay your bill until you review the line items. They've overbilled us on both of our…read morepast 2 visits. If you find out after you've paid, they won't credit the mistake back to your card; they'll apply a "credit" to your account forcing you to come back to use it. It pains me to write this review because the folks at West End Veterinary Clinic have always been nice. But they have a real problem. I don't think the folks who work there are intentionally overcharging -- I think it may be their point-of-sale system. We have 3 reasons why we have to find a new vet despite this convenient location and the nice folks who work there. 1) They told me to hold off getting my puppy spayed, well after she was able to get pregnant -- despite knowing she would be at risk. By the time our puppy came in for the operation, they discovered she was pregnant, which caused an extra $600 worth of problems and heartache for our family. 2) They double-billed us for a cone while our puppy was recovering. I spotted the mistake, called, and they wouldn't refund the money. They offered a credit instead -- forcing me to return to them if I ever want to see that money again. 3) On the second visit (vaccines), they billed me $67.76 for a heartworm test I declined and which was never performed. Has any business ever made a billing mistake in YOUR favor? Me neither. Once could be an honest mistake. Twice in 2 visits -- well -- you decide.

The only negative review I saw was about price and I had to laugh. If you want a quality, clean,…read moreexperienced, and well-stocked vet, go to WEST END VETERINARY CLINIC! I have four kids, and foster regularly. When I foster I pay the vet bills and use Dr. Mason (owner) or Dr. Rubi, and don't worry about the price because I always get the VALUE. Both vets are great at educating me (and I know a lot after being a dog and cat mom forever) and I walk away with everything I need to keep my pets comfortable and as healthy as possible. I took a hospice foster in just yesterday and Dr. Mason spent over an hour with us, sent me home with a supply of everything I needed, and my bill was HALF what I expected! Today my little foster was feeling much better and we owe it all to West End!

I have been using Springfield Veterinary Center for over fifteen years now. I started seeing Dr…read more Scotti with my little Dachshund, Sir Hapford Wigglebottoms. Soon after Happy, I was rescued by a darling little kitten whom we named Ysobella. After 13 happy years with Happy, there came a time when, due to the negligence of a groomer, Happy's back was injured and never got better. After a year of watching him in pain we decided that it was time to let our little guy go. Dr. Scotti came to our home, and gently, kindly and lovingly, helped us put Happy to sleep in the arms of my daughter and I. I am grateful to this day for his kindness. Happy loved Dr. Scotti and Dr. Escobar but hated the going to the vet part. Dr. Scotti's kindness made Happy's passing easier. Last year, we had to put our beloved Ysobella down due to chronic heart failure. Dr. Escobar was as gentle and kind, understanding and supportive as he could be during those final moments of Ysobella's life. Now, I have two wonderful, amazing beautiful kittens, Lucifer and Alexandra, who are being cared for by Dr. Kilgore. What I love most about Springfield Veterinary Center is that EVERYBODY, from Mrs. Dr. Escobar who works at the front desk, to the techs who assist, to the doctors themselves truly love their patients and are so kind and generous to the pet owners. They are invested in making sure that our pets are healthy, happy, loved and well taken care of and they show this through their approach to these pets. It is my opinion that one couldn't find a better veterinarian to take care of their pets.

My puppy almost died this weekend due to the advice given by one of the doctors there. (I know how…read moredamning a bad review is, so I'm not going to name names.) The advice she gave was so basically wrong - I should have listened to my gut. I had brought in my 10 lb., 7 month old puppy due to bowel consistency issues he'd experienced over the last 2 weeks. She advised that he go on a prescription high fiber diet and also some probiotics. The food, she said, should be started right away, and there was no need to wean him off of his current food. I gave him 1/2 a cup that evening and 3 hours later, he started vomiting, and did so throughout the night. In the morning, there was barely fluid left in this poor dog, and he was vomiting bloody tissue. Long story short, at the ER he was stabilized and discharged, then re-admitted 4 hours later for worsening symptoms. He's home now, but still not out of the woods, going on 5 days now. The straight introduction of that food into his system was catastrophic. Everyone knows that any food change you begin with an animal should be done gradually. So basic. SO wrong. My poor dog. It's not about the money (THOUSANDS spent already) - I would do anything for my pet. I've just never experienced such negligence by a medical professional in my life. This doctor is dangerously unqualified!

While I hope we never have to visit an emergency vet again, the treatment we received was…read morewonderful. At 5 am on Sunday morning we had to make a quick decision where to bring our pup, Finnegan, who was struggling to breathe. After calling another clinic and being told they didn't have staff available, we tried Partner Vet. We were preregistered over the phone and after a painful 30 minute drive arrived and he was quickly rushed back by staff. After 30-minutes, the vet brought us into a private room to discuss the plan of care. We already had an appointment with a internal specialist for his breathing issues two days later, so instead of running a bunch of tests the vet suggested we take him home and gave us some medication to keep him comfortable until then. The visit was a quarter of what we were expecting to pay. I would have paid for every test but he knew had an expensive journey ahead. I would go out of my way to return to this clinic if we ever need emergency services again. Thank you

"This is the level of care you paid for" Seemed nice at…read morefirst, but the whole thing was very money-centric. There was no "let's get your animal better feeling. They told us that he was being playful and had us feeling like our pup was doing better. They gave him fluids and then some medicine to take home. His issue did not get better, but have gotten worse and when I called to get an update on what we should do next and was told I would receive a call back. They called my fiance and she expressed our mutual frustration. And was told "this is the level of care you paid for". I'm sorry. If you take your kid to the er and all you can afford is a set amount and they do no more than that to help him feel better. How can they say they care about our pets when it feels like the employees may care but the business does not. Would not recommend to anyone. *Update* still have not heard anything back from partners regarding this matter. We got our pup into another vet and found out his kidney numbers are through the roof. He is going in today for treatment.

I strongly do not recommend this clinic and would give zero stars if I could…read more My boyfriend brought my girl in for an infected cyst on her shoulder, accompanied by lethargy and a fever. Instead of addressing the clear infection, the vet, Dr. Burke, tried to diagnose her with gastroenteritis--despite the fact that she had no vomiting or diarrhea to suggest that. I can only assume this assumption was made based on her breed (Great Dane), which is completely inappropriate. We approved necessary bloodwork, which came back fine, but they still failed to address the actual issue. They prescribed antibiotics and sent her home without even cleaning the infected site nor offering pain management. She left the clinic still covered in dried blood and pus. To make matters worse, her records were filled with errors and inaccurate information. Having previously worked in a veterinary office myself, I know how records should be documented, and these made no sense. When I called to request corrections, the response I received was dismissive at best. Edit / Update: My girl has since been seen by her regular vet, who discovered multiple pockets of infection that developed because the original wound was never properly cleaned or clipped. What began as a small, treatable infection has now spread across her entire shoulder. She has been in pain, and the stress this has caused me has been overwhelming. All of this could have been avoided had Dr. Burke taken the time to actually listen to our concerns and properly examine her, rather than jumping to an unrelated and irrelevant diagnosis. At her regular vet, she was immediately cleaned up and properly treated, which revealed the true severity of the infection. I've attached pictures--some from UrgentVet and some from her regular vet--so you can see the difference in care for yourself.

If you need to put an animal to sleep the prices are expensive. If I were you, I'd call around to other veterinary clinics and check their prices. That's what I did. Oh and if management is reading this. Erin the vet tech was EXCELLENT. Great educator. Very honest yet was very considerate of our feelings and answered all our questions. You don't want to lose employees like her. I hope y'all pay her well. I'd give Erin 5 stars or A+
