Business ProfileforChoice Vets Pet Care

Warning: This is how you may treated as a first time patient by the practice owner when you ask questions and express disappointment in your pet's misdiagnosis and a pocket gouging emergency surgery that was deemed unnecessary.Unprofessional, arrogant, preys upon vulnerability and stress of a loved one, will lead you to believe expensive surgery is the only chance for your pets survival.From: Choice Vets Date: 4/18/23 5:25 PM Her physical exam revealed a painful mass in the center of her abdomen that made her consistently wince and lick her lips as if to acutely become nauseated. a gastrointestinal foreign body. We discussed that we would not likely be able to perform surgery should ***** need surgery the following day (Friday, 3/24/23) as ************** would be the only doctor on duty and from day to day we never know how each day might turn out. ************** found that the painful mass in ******* abdomen was a very large lymph node. No one could have differentiated a large lymph node from a foreign body/mass or other on physical examination of a painful patient. There are multiple communications that were recorded of your outlandish and outright childish behavior by phone, making demands that could not be met and ending communications by hanging up the phone on staff members (my practice manager included, whom has the patience of Job). I can't begin to try to explain the challenges of running a practice, but by and large, this practice has more people that truly and life dedicatingly care more than any place or practice that I have ever experienced in nearly 20 years of practice and 35 years in the profession. I believe this goes without saying, but just in case, we ask that you seek any and all veterinary care outside of ours moving forward. Sincerely,Dr. *** I hope my honest review will prevent others by similar mistreatment, expense and save one's pet from unnecessary surgery or risk.***************************
