Why didn't lower the Stars from two to last, I wanted to express something that I just learned that has me extremely frustrated. Our dog has been taken pill twice a day for the past number of years for skin condition. Now this was diagnosed properly and has definitely helped. My frustration stems from the fat that I just learned that this medication does not require a prescription that I've been forced to get and take my dog in for an exam regularly paying additional on money. The medication is "animal biome skin rescue". Due to issues with the veterinarian at animal medical Center of Redlands (Dr. Cain), we changed vets to one that has been around in the current location since the 1960s and I used to take our animals too when I was a child. They've done a fantastic job and have a very caring staff and medical staff. When I went down to get a prescription this medication, this is where I found out that it's over the counter and does not require a witten prescription. If for any reason I'm asked to give one when ordering the medications online, they let me know that I wouldn't need it, so they just made the refills PRN, which means in medical terminology " as needed". This gives me the ability to retain the prescription for as long as I need and not have to go in and get some sort of false exam and be charged another 40 to $50 and use the prescription if for some reason I need one. It's really sad because we used animal medical Center in Redlands for decades. Ever since Dr. Burch has retired, it seems like the new medical staff has really brought down the quality. So sad to see this because Dr. Burch is an amazing man and we really loved having him care for our animals for so many years.

Stephanie was so gentle, even when my boy was anxious and nervous and jumped on her, she was so patient. She was very helpful with me, because I was having some difficulty controlling him in my wheelchair, and she helped me take him to my car, etc. Everyone was helpful and kind...from the front desk to the doctor. They offer payment plans and Care Credit, so it helps lessen the burden of the cost to keep your fur babies healthy.

    I brought my 11-year-old 62 lb pit mix to Dr. Farag after her tail tip was bleeding. She was…read moreotherwise in fairly good health and had no respiratory or other symptoms--this was the only issue we were seeing besides the bleeding. We discussed amputation as a way to prevent this from happening again. She stayed overnight on Wednesday, March 25. The next morning they took X-rays of her tail and chest and ran bloodwork. Later that day, Dr. Farag called to say they saw nodules in her chest and that it could possibly be metastasis/tumor or a fungal infection. Because of those findings, he recommended we not proceed with the tail surgery and that we see a specialist. He did say her bloodwork looked fairly okay for her age and that she seemed healthy overall. However, when I picked her up Thursday night and brought her home, she was extremely lethargic. I called immediately and spoke with the front desk about her being unusually low-energy. I was told she received a sedative and that more than a normal amount was given to keep her calm and prevent her from wagging her tail. They said if she still seemed that way the next day, I should bring her back, but otherwise to monitor her over the next few days. On Monday morning, March 30 (about four days after being there), I woke up at 3:30 a.m. to my dog struggling to breathe and unable to hold her head up. Within 10 minutes, she died. It was extremely sudden, and it didn't make sense to me given that she had never shown breathing issues prior to this. The next day I called, but Dr. Farag wasn't available. They told me he would call me back; I never received a call. About a week later, I called again from the original number and explained what happened. The front desk seemed honestly confused by how sudden it was. The following day Dr. Farag called me back. I was not satisfied with how defensive he was or how dismissive he became. I asked whether there was any explanation for how she died so suddenly and whether the sedative could have played a role, especially since I had been told more than the normal amount was given. He immediately said the information I was given was wrong, and then he started reading off doses while telling me to look them up online so that I could see the proper dose was given. He also added in there that it wasn't his practice and that it wasn't his fault or responsibility if the front desk gave me incorrect information amount the dose given. He also ended the call by saying she wasn't a healthy patient, which directly contradicted what he'd told me initially. I understand they found abnormalities in her chest on the X-ray. But for her to die within four days, after being active and otherwise fine beforehand, did not sit right with me. I wasn't calling to accuse anyone--I wanted answers, clarity, and compassion. I also want to note that I'm truly grateful for the vet techs and the front desk staff. They were helpful and empathetic throughout the process. My complaint is specifically with the doctor's responses--his defensiveness and lack of empathy--when I was simply trying to understand what happened. In the end, between wrapping her tail, X-rays, bloodwork, and the radiologist review, I spent around $1,300. It feels unbearable to say, but I feel like I spent $1,300 and went through all of that just for my dog to die shortly after. No it's not about the money if I could've spent thousands more just to keep her here I would have, but I feel I was given false hope when being told that she was fairly healthy, especially since I can see with my own eyes that she was a healthy and active dog. I know you can't predict certain things, but none of it makes sense, considering she never displayed any signs of her being unhealthy. If you bring your senior dog--or any dog--to this clinic, please be cautious. I just wish I had been given more clarity and kindness when I needed answers most. Also, since Dr. Farag was so quick to explain this wasn't his practice, and that misinformation given to me about his patient (my dog) has nothing to do with him, for whoever does own this practice, I would reconsider who you choose to assist with your business.

    My five year old frenchie seemed to be having some pain and just wasn't herself…read more Our regular vet recommended we come here so we did It's an emergency hospital so let me first say that I do in fact understand and appreciate how these places work so when I state my wait time you need to know that my pet was fully stable and even comfortable waiting We hung out in the car-she napped and we waited about 6 hours but they were very busy with animal control cases and very sick pets We saw a tech in triage for vitals who was just so kind and sweet to our girl She was patient and gave me time even to settle a bit as she took info about why we were there and her history The front desk associates were all great as well Compassionate and kind as they handled crying and stressed owners Very kind and patient The place itself is clean and inviting Almost looked like my UC I go to myself There is plenty of waiting space and a coffee bar and clean restrooms The doctor had wonderful bedside manner and was thorough. Dr Hidd if I'm not mistaken? She was kind to my girl but most of all was thorough and I felt good about the plan leaving daisy helped us with our meds and discharge and she was also so kind and thorough It's a great place if you need emergency care Pricing was very fair also in my opinion for exams and meds -luckily we did not have any imaging costs etc but I was ready and willing for that Great experience

    Absolutely terrible experience at Veterinary Emergency Center of Redlands…read more I brought my 1-year-old cat here around 11 PM after he had vomited four times, including blood and blood clots. I was also concerned he may have been exposed to lilies, which are extremely toxic to cats. As you can imagine, I was terrified and expecting emergency care. Before my cat was even properly evaluated, I was charged for an exam fee, a poison control consultation fee, and a Parvo test that I was confident he did not need. By the time everything was said and done, I had already spent hundreds of dollars before getting any real answers. I was told the wait would be approximately 2-4 hours. I understood it was an emergency hospital and was fully prepared to wait. What I was NOT prepared for was spending over 9 hours there while my cat sat sick and vomiting. It took roughly 6 hours before he was even properly seen. The most frustrating part was that when the veterinarian finally came to speak with me, it seemed like there had been little to no communication regarding why I brought my cat in. I had repeatedly expressed concerns about possible lily toxicity, yet I felt like we were starting from square one. Shortly after, I was presented with an estimate of roughly $4,500. At that point, I was beyond frustrated. It genuinely felt like the priority was my wallet rather than my cat. I agreed only to bloodwork, IV fluids, and anti-nausea medication because I had already decided I would seek care elsewhere the following day. Throughout the night, I could hear staff talking and socializing in the back while I sat there worried sick about my cat. Multiple times I felt ignored when asking for updates or assistance. To make matters worse, I overheard comments suggesting it was "not smart" of me to decline the recommended treatment plan. After sitting there all night, being quoted thousands of dollars, and feeling completely unheard, that was the last thing I needed. I understand veterinary medicine is expensive. I understand emergency hospitals get busy. What I don't understand is charging people hundreds of dollars upfront, making them wait all night, failing to communicate effectively, and then acting judgmental when they cannot or choose not to approve a $4,500 treatment plan. My cat was the one suffering, and I left feeling like nobody gave a damn until it was time to discuss money.
