I took my dog to another vet to seek surgery, but she was not interested because of his age and heart condition, and because this is a very risky procedure. Thank God for Dr. Jolie! After careful consultation with my dog's cardiologist, she removed the growth, and my dog is doing very well. She saw that he still had a lot of life left in him, and I appreciate her compassion, excellent skills and intimate care. She has treated three other pets of mine in the past and has always taken her time with each pet.

She was stressed out and nervous, but they made her feel at ease by sitting on the floor and playing with her. They did not push me into things I was uncomfortable with, but gave me choices and even tried to help me save money with her meds and tests. They did not treat me like a bad mom because I don't like to pump my dogs full of chemicals. They were easy to talk to and ask questions so that I could make informative decisions about my dogs health and well being. We will be returning every year for check ups and anything else my pups need to be seen for. Highly recommended.

Took my 9 y/o cat there as we had recently moved to the area. All of a sudden he had started…read moredropping weight. The people at the clinic were very pleasant . They took blood and did an exam, but said they were not sure why he was losing weight. They scheduled a dental for him in case his teeth were the problem. They also gave him an antibiotic shot. They mentioned he wasn't very compliant with the exam. At this point, my cat has gone from 20 pounds to 11 pounds, very quickly. They scheduled the dental for two months away. Uncomfortable with watching him look like he was dying while waiting for the dental in 2 months, we took him an hour away to our old vet. They palpated (no mention of lack of compliance) and found a mass in his abdomen, confirmed it with X-rays and 2 different vets both concluded it was likely cancer and he was in the process of shutting down. We didn't come home with him. In future we will continue to drive the hour to our previous (current) vet. I will add that they did communicate well. They followed up via text to see how he was getting on, which was good, but I'm disappointed they missed an abdominal mass, esp on a cat that was sooo skinny. I'm sure they'd be great for vaccinations etc.

I insisted we discuss environmental. They didn't even pay attention to me. Then wanted to do some other expensive scan. I said no. Went back when cat wouldn't stop throwing up, mentioned a hundred other reasons to the desk clerk, and she said "oh you're seeing him" and gave me off the books advice. Decided to bail. Went to another vet. They said "cats throw up" all the time. We figured out the cat was licking the bathtub and there'd been Epsom salts in the bath tub. We stopped using Epsom salts, cat has been fine and healthy ever since. They're condescending, alarmist, use the guilt-factor to get you to take expensive exams. Awful experience.

We were charged $250 for a spray for my dog, which is not worked at all in the past four years. Twice a year, my dog has bad allergies so we come in for a pill also, his nails clipped and his anal gland squeezed. None of these performances were done. We were charged an excessive amount of money and they still haven't even told me what it's over asked for an itemized receipt twice now, and the people have hung up on me because I use the term that my dog is still licking his butt like a motherfucker. So sorry they're virgin ears have never heard anyone swear before, didn't swear at them, but I should've because this is absolutely atrocious to charge someone that amount of money and not do one of the things they asked for in their normal two times a year visit. We spent $250 for a spray that doesn't even freaking work that I just looked up cost 10-15 $ depending on the store & now since it's been multiple days my poor dog is in distress & they're telling I now have to wait till Monday cause that's when the other vet comes in. THE ONE WE NEVER EVEN SEEN ONCE BEFORE. They should be ashamed with this disgusting behavior & basically fraud service.

Dr. Ryan is the most incompetent veterinarian in Saratoga Springs…read more Last August our then 13 year old chow mix rescue started having severe urinary issues. She needed to go outside constantly. We had to leave our back door open at night so that I could sleep a few hours. This issue continued. I brought Sarah in to be seen at least once a month with the same symptoms never getting better. I expressed how worried that I was that she had a bladder tumor. I took videos of our girl pushing blankets and toy's between her legs. The video clearly showed how uncomfortable that she was. Her urinalysis always came back showing infection. Big red flag. Dr. Ryan said since there was no blood in her urine it was not cancer. Never once did she recommend an ultrasound or even an x ray. After 3 or 4 times seeing a vet for the same symptoms, especially when they were getting worse, a competent veterinarian would have suggested an ultrasound of some kind of imaging. I finally called her office and said that " she needs an ultrasound ". One week later we had an appointment for an ultrasound. The radiologist took Sarah back for the 20 minute exam. Five minutes later Sarah was back in the exam room. The radiologist was right behind her. He gave us the devastating news that my special girl had a large tumor in her bladder, it was inoperable, and it was pushing on her urethra making it very difficult to empty her bladder. Imagine going for more than 7 months with that kind of pressure on your bladder. Anyone that's ever had a bladder infection knows how painful and uncomfortable it is. We started treatment a few days later but it was too late. On April 15 2023 we had to rush our girl to UVS in Latham. She was very uncomfortable, had stopped eating, and was drooling. She died in my arms that morning. I am completely devastated over losing her in such a brutal way. Our girl suffered. There's no doubt about it. Two weeks later Dr. Ryan sent my husband and I an email titled " termination of professional services". She accused us of posting phony emails and social media reviews to her accounts. I haven't had FB since April 2020. I had every intention of going to a bigger and better practice after she failed to diagnose Sarah's cancer. She dismissed everything and every detail I talked to her about. Her exact words " let's not go searching for something we don't want to find". My Sarah's bladder could have ruptured had I not stepped in. Spring Family Vet is not a hospital. It's a clinic. The only reason she terminated us as clients is because I made an absolute fool of her. We followed our veterinarian Dr. Amy Bergin here from another practice. I should have considered it a big red flag when Dr. Bergin left this practice in less than a year of being there. Dr. Bergin would have immediately suggested an ultrasound for our Sarah had she still been there when these symptoms started. I knew my sweet girl had something very serious going on. Please advocate for your animal companion. Trust your gut. We have filed a complaint with the NYS Department of education for professional misconduct against Dr. Ryan. No other animal companion or their human should ever have to suffer from her incompetence. She is not a strong enough veterinarian to have her own practice. She pushes this ridiculous " fear free " baloney! Let's face it ! A veterinary clinic could be built out of steak bones and most dogs will be very scared and stressed when they come in. She should be working under the supervision of a much stronger vet. This is the most devastating loss I've ever experienced with one of my beloved dogs. Gina Burns
