They're the ones who diagnosed her with chronic ear infections. They demanded I had to bring her in to see them in order for them to send the prescription! That is absurd she going to have them the rest of her apparently. Isn't that the name chronic? I'm on unemployment struggling to get by, but they want money anyway before the animal getting relief!! They call themselves vets! Anyone working with animals needs compassion clearly greed took this place!

Dr. Catherine cleaned only one side of his teeth. What about cleaning all of his teeth? I paid the full price for Romeo teeth cleaning. Why did Romeo receive half of the services ?

AAHA accreditation implies veterinary care that is not abusive or negligent, but the opposite that is modernized and focused on less suffering of a pet.

I brought my gentle, old rottie, Vicky, to Dr. Snyder at Foxbend. Vicky immediately walked right…read moreover to Dr. Snyder as if she knew him! She never does that at a vets office--she usually hides behind me! So I KNEW he had to be good hearted. Vicky ended up needing surgery to remove 2 HUGE cysts that I admit I should have taken care of when they were smaller. Anyway, Dr. Snyder suggested a surgeon for me to contact. I respect his honesty--a less honest veterinarian would have attempted the complicated surgery himself. Vicky's surgery was successful, and she is healing well. But I will always return to Dr. Snyder with both my rottie and by beagle for all future exams, shots, etc. as he is sincere, gentle, and kind. And that's what is most important when looking for a vet!

Not only does she has the experience to diagnose our family dog, but she also has the BEST "Dog Side Manner" I have ever experienced in a veterinary office. Dr. Clair's professionalism was like talking to a family member. She took the time to explain in detail our doggie's ailment. The intake staff was absolutely a member of the team. Best of all, our hats off to Raza. You will not find anyone better in any veterinary clinic that can fulfill his role and support "patients" and clients. Dr. Claire's group is really one of the best. Having come from Southern California, where veterinary clinics are large in numbers, we found a home for our Samantha under the care of Charlestown Animal Hospital.] The team really deserves more than a five-star rating!

When I waited outside one of the staff members came out and took her mask off, saying she liked to get a break to breathe the fresh air. Won't be back.

My dog was having an issue with her foot that I had hoped would clear up on its own, but she got a little testy about, so I decided to bring her in. I called in the morning and they had a couple of slots open for the same afternoon, which was great. We arrived to a construction site, lots of power tools and men stomping through in their boots. My dog was not particularly disturbed by this, but going to the vet is already not her favorite thing, so it might have been nice to get a heads up. Especially knowing that she was feeling a little protective of her foot, I'm not sure if I would have chosen to bring her to an additionally stressful space with a bunch of strange extra people. The staff was accommodating enough and apologetic of the chaos in their space. We were moved into an exam room pretty quickly. One of the techs came in and asked a bunch of questions and entered everything into the computer. Eventually the vet came in and asked a lot of the same questions, which is fine for verifying everything, but I wondered if she had checked in on the computer info at all. She did an exam. She noticed one growth on my dog, but missed the other, and didn't note her couple of chipped teeth or the spot in her eye that most vets ask about, so I'm not sure how thorough this was. She took some samples from the paw without much explanation of what they were trying to do or learn or what the cost would be. They disappeared to check them out for a while and came back still not really knowing what was causing it. She did give some options while deciding on prescriptions, which was helpful. My dog has had a very similar issue in the past, which we went to another vet for, and it cost about $40 less for the same exam, procedures, and prescriptions ($145 vs $187), so this place seemed a little on the expensive side to me, and I'm not convinced that the care was better. I also asked both the tech and the vet about heartworm meds; neither seemed to run with this and offer to do the test, so I guess we will update them later. They've already done her exam, so we will probably go there to update vaccinations, but I'm not sure that I would stick with them otherwise. Seemed fine, not great.
