    J And A H.

    Terrible customer service. Asked the person scheduling our appointment to enter notes about our dog and reason for visit since we are not allowed in the room, she stated she couldn't do that but I could reply to the email I'd receive - did not receive an email. Scheduled a follow up appointment for my dog to check ear infection. Received a reminder call 10/27 also stating "we might have to call to cancel tomorrow if we don't have a doctor". Did NOT receive a call to cancel on 10/28 so we arrived at our scheduled time and the office is in fact CLOSED DUE TO NO DOCTOR. Zero respect for customer time and schedule. My dog will not be treated here in the future, we only needed immediate treatment and this was the best option at the time.

He is compassionate, thorough, and genuinely cares about his patients. I've also had good experiences with one or two staff members, but unfortunately my interactions with much of the rest of the staff have been disappointing. My dog, Bodhi, had surgery at RAMC in July 2025 to remove several lumps. During surgery, Dr. Singh found another lump within the same incision site, removed it, and didn't charge me for the additional removal. I truly appreciated his thoughtfulness and care. At Bodhi's bandage removal appointment, a younger male technician handled the visit. I asked to stay with my dog, and he agreed. The bandage was adhered tightly, and although he initially used adhesive remover, he quickly became impatient and began ripping the bandage off. Bodhi was clearly uncomfortable, and I left wondering how he would have been treated if I hadn't been present. I returned in September 2025 for another FNA, and once again Dr. Singh was excellent. In early June, Bodhi needed another FNA. Because of my previous experience, I requested that the same technician not handle my dog. Dr. Singh understood my concerns and was very reassuring. A week later, Bodhi was diagnosed with lymphoma. After discussing my options, I initially considered less invasive treatment before deciding on palliative care. Dr. Singh had advised me to stop Apoquel because lymphoma was suspected, so Bodhi spent nearly two weeks suffering from severe itching while I weighed my options. I contacted the office to ask about Laverdia, an oral chemotherapy medication. I was told they had spoken with Dr. Singh, ordered the medication, and would contact me when it arrived. They also recommended seeing an oncologist, which was difficult because appointments and callbacks took several days. I never received a follow-up. After six days, I reached back out because I had no choice but to start Bodhi on prednisone due to his worsening itching and enlarging lymph nodes. In that same email, I also requested refills for his prednisone and gabapentin since I was only given a 22 day supply. Again, I received no response. Maybe they eventually would have answered if I had continued calling or emailing, but by then I had lost confidence in the staff. I was left wondering whether I would have made different treatment decisions had someone simply followed through with the communication they promised. Aside from one longtime veterinary technician, I also found the front desk staff to be cold during one of the hardest moments of my life. I wasn't expecting sympathy, but a few kind words would have meant a great deal. Dr. Singh is the reason this review is three stars instead of one. He treated Bodhi with compassion and treated me with empathy throughout this difficult process. Unfortunately, the lack of communication and follow-through from the rest of the staff overshadowed an otherwise positive experience. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I felt this one was important. When a family is facing the loss of a beloved pet, timely communication matters. I hope this feedback encourages RAMC to improve so other families don't experience the same frustration during such a difficult time.

I rate them five stars for their service and availability for what I needed at the time. It was a very unfortunate circumstance where I had to euthanize my cat who was riddled with cancer. I was glad they were able to make time for me that day, and even gave me a little keepsake of her hair in a small heart shaped jar free of charge. It seems like going through this journey of healthcare and hospice for my cat, that nothing was free of charge so it meant a lot to me. They even waved my first visit fee. I would definitely suggest them.

When got to the office I was informed I could get one prescription but would have to bring her back in November for her eyes on only checkup. When I questioned this the manager said it was their policy. I asked to speak with the vet which she refused and said no matter what that Dr. Gill would back her up.(I did not know that managers now have a license to practice veterinarian services.) I also found out that this clinic is now owned by a corporation, not the same as when Dr Buhliar owned the practice. Also as some have preiously mention, you do not go back with your pet as in the past. This office also has a turn over of staff. Just a side note. $20.00 for the Technician assessment which I am not sure what the Technician assessed and $9.99 to dispose of the needle. its crazy. So $72.60 for something that took less than 5 min and a argument..

    DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG TO THIS VET…read more On April 12th we took our dog in to an emergency appointment and it was the worst mistake we could have made. Our dog was experiencing pain on one of her hind legs. After $1200, she was misdiagnosed with a partial ligament tear, was given anti-inflammatory meds and we went off with a plan to return on April 17th for follow up blood work as her CBC (WBC) were dangerously low. On Wednesday, April 15 my dog began vomiting and having bloody diarrhea, I contacted Dry Creek the next day to give them an update and was told to monitor and keep the planned appointment for April 17th. On April 17th we went back and my dog was experiencing a very high fever, I told them I didn't want to continue to give her the carprofen because I think that's what caused the upset stomach, I had last administered it on Thursday April 16th. Dr Lehil agreed and changed her anti-inflammatory meds, and prescribed other meds (antibiotics). Kept our dog for the day and released her that evening after she was showing no signs of a fever. During the weekend my dog stopped eating and drinking water and we were to return on Monday, April 20th for yet another follow-up. At that time my dog had a fever again, and we were told we could keep her there or take her to another vet - that's when I should have ran but because they knew what was going on with my dog, had administered bloodwork, etc we kept her there for the day. At 5 pm when we picked her up my dog still had a fever and we were told it was because she was excited while she was kenneled. The Dr (a different vet) told me to take her off of the anti-inflammatory and put her on a strict bland diet. They also prescribed more meds that I never gave my dog because I was petrified of how my dog would react to yet more medication. We took her home and by 7 pm I was rushing her to VCA Loomis for an emergency. My dog became unstable and began breathing rapidly and her fever had increased, in addition I noticed her paw was injured while at Dry Creek earlier that day. VCA Loomis did an ultrasound and when I shared with the vet that they changed out her anti-inflammatory pills from one day to the next she became concerned that my dog may have developed an ulcer as it is recommended that at least 5 days pass before a new anti-inflammatory is administered. In fact, the ultrasound determined my dog had quite a bit of inflammation to her GI system. In addition, the vet at VCA Loomis told me my dog had a complete tear of the ligament and not partial as we had previously been told by Dr. Lehil. I called Dry Creek asking to talk to the owner or office manager and they never called, I went in 2 weeks later and was told the owner would call me. She called the next day and basically said they did what was recommended, didn't take responsibility for any of it and put it on me saying I had the option of taking her to VCA Loomis. All in all, we spent close to $3500 at Dry Creek and my dog's health only deteriorated. If it weren't for VCA Loomis we may have lost her.

Shortley afterward, she developed an ear problem caused by a foxtail, and I paid an additional $160 to have it removed. Two weeks later, I was told to bring her back for a recheck. I expected this to be a follow-up related to the treatment, but I was charged another $134. I was then told she would need to return every two weeks for additional ear checks, with a charge for each visit. I understand that that veterinary care is expensive and that clinics need to charge for their services, but I felt like the focus was more on generating additional fees then on my dog's care. Based on my experience, I do not feel comfortable returning to this place, and I would not recommend it to others.

    I am unfortunately looking for a new vet after my recent experiences at VCA…read more Over my last two visits, I became increasingly concerned about the quality of care and the apparent lack of organization within the clinic. On multiple occasions, I received calls asking whether my dog was on flea and heartworm medication--even though those medications are prescribed and refilled directly through VCA. I was later told there had been confusion because the clinic was short-staffed and records had not been updated. As a pet owner, it was very concerning to hear that my dog's medical records were not being properly maintained. During my dog's first Lepto vaccine appt, the vet tech appeared very nervous and skipped basic assessment steps. She was unable to take his temperature and simply said, "Oh, you said he's been fine anyway," before moving on. That did not inspire confidence. Unfortunately, the second vaccine appt was not much better. When I requested to accompany my dog to the exam area, the same tech seemed irritated and stopped me from going back, saying she needed to find a room first. This was confusing, as I assumed a room would already be available if my dog was being taken back. The interaction felt rushed, dismissive and extremely uncomfortable. The appt itself lasted only a few moments. No wellness questions were asked, no discussion took place about how my dog had responded to the first vaccine, and the shot was administered immediately. The front desk experience was also frustrating. When I politely asked whether my dog's records had been updated, the staff seemed annoyed by the question. They also asked me to place my dog on the scale three separate times because no one was paying attention or recording his weight. I understand that veterinary clinics can be busy and short-staffed, and I truly try to be understanding. However, accurate medical records, basic communication, and thorough patient care are fundamental expectations. My dog means everything to me, and after these experiences, I no longer feel comfortable trusting his care to this clinic.

    There a lot of things that worry you when taking your kitten to another country. Even when using a…read morepet relocation service you just end up with a lot of questions. So let me explain. The service and warmth that every member of the staff delivered was above every vet I've been to. Front desk was kind and straight forward. Even with the complications of traveling with my cat overseas I wasn't overwhelmed by paperwork. I was seen as soon as possible even though I was there possibly an hour early. Nothing but smiles out of the first person I met that inspected my little girl. She explained everything that was going to happen and was genuine when she asked "is that OK?". Even when you, yourself go to the Dr there isn't much debate when it comes to shots. They simply tell you what to do and suddenly you're getting jabs of something in your arm. This was completely different. They wanted to know if I was OK with what was about to happen and let me know every step of the way what they were doing. Absolutely love this. When you're over protective of your animal this makes a big deal mentally. I didn't think anything strange was going to happen and knew, thanks to them telling me, exactly what my girl was about to go through. This means a lot. In the end my poor kitten did have some gum issues. Dr. Chloe told me this directly and then expanded on what I can do about it. That's something hard to tell a pet guardian. I think my mouth dropped. None the less I needed to know and she somehow delivered it to me without me freaking out. It's the balance of "this is what's going on" and then "this is how you handle it". Can't thank her enough. It's a 10 of 10 when it comes to veterinarian hospitals. They are simply the best. Also without spoiling anything, your wait in the lobby might just make you double take. The moment I felt slightly bored I just went WOW. It's surprise, I won't spoil it for you. It's just another detail that makes taking your little (or big) animal to the vet a much nicer experience. They really are the best.
