I strongly advise against taking your pet to this vet. I've waited 2.5 years to write this review…read morebecause the experience we had here was so upsetting, and the impact on my dog and our family has been life-changing. We took our 1.5-year-old golden retriever here to be neutered, and the entire process was a nightmare from start to finish. When my husband dropped him off, the waiting area was full of dogs--an overwhelming environment for any pet, especially ours, who is naturally anxious. Later that day, the vet called me to say the surgery "went well," but then they added the following: "Your dog is very nervous and anxious. He even jumped when a tool dropped on the floor. He was one of the most difficult dogs I've ever neutered. When I used anesthesia to put him under, it didn't work, so I had to use more. That resulted in him 'deciding to stop breathing.' But don't worry, we have procedures in place to help him breathe again. You should have him checked by another doctor or a neurologist. You don't want this nervousness to lead to something like seizures." I was shocked and upset. First of all, blaming our dog for stopping breathing is incredibly unprofessional. Second, why would they overdose him with anesthesia if the first dose didn't take? I asked if he was okay, and they assured me he was but said they wanted to keep him overnight. Third, my husband and I questioned "Why on earth would we worry about him having a seizure? What does that have to do with anything." Four days later, I witnessed my dog have his first seizure at home. It was absolutely traumatizing and unexpected. When my husband called the vet to ask about it, the front desk staff made a shocking statement: "Oh, yeah, that's how he acted during his first seizure." This was news to us. My husband asked for clarification--was she saying he had a seizure at the clinic? She immediately put him on hold, and another staff member took over the call. They refused to confirm or deny what happened but said they were "worried this might happen." We ended up having no choice but to take him to a neurologist. When I asked for notes from the day of the surgery, they were completely illegible. It almost seemed intentional, as if they were trying to hide something. Since that day, our dog has had over 30 seizures. He is a completely different dog ever since - his demeanor, personality, and quality of life have changed drastically. We've had to try countless medications to help him. It's been a devastating journey, and it all started at this vet. I've never regretted something more than us dropping him off there that day. To make matters even worse, we can't find any daycare place that will allow him to be around other dogs because of his seizures. We can't give him tick and flea medicine because it can trigger seizures even more. We can't give him ANY kind of anti-anxiety medications because they interact with his seizure medication, further increasing his seizure risk. The list goes on and on. We can no longer have people over to our house because he gets extremely anxious--something that NEVER happened before this experience. Even going out for a simple dinner is nearly impossible because he can't handle having anyone else walk him. Keep in mind, this is a golden retriever--known for being friendly and easygoing. It costs thousands of dollars for us to go away for even a short trip because he needs to stay at a specialized facility capable of administering his medication and handling his seizures. We've even had to contemplate the unthinkable--rehoming him--because we're expecting a baby. The stress of managing his care is overwhelming, and in the end, who would even want a dog with such high needs? A dog that doesn't like to be around people, requires multiple medications a day, and has ongoing health challenges? I don't know what truly happened during his surgery, but I do know that this clinic failed him. The lack of transparency, the unprofessional handling of his care, and their negligence have forever changed our lives and his.

This place may seem on the surface like a great vet but it's a money grab. For the people that have…read morebeen here let me know if this is your experience. 1. You get told to NOT purchase vet insurance till you hear their pitch. Then you are pressured on your first visit to buy super overpriced pet insurance that "creates by vets for vets" with some reasoning that it covers everything which isn't true. I pay like $40 a month and theirs was like $150 or more. And it only covers major things. They are clearly getting a kickback on this, of course it was designed by vets. Secondly, have you gotten to the checkout to find out you were charged an exorbitant amount for something you were not told about. They charged us $65 to clean the dogs ears!! Wtf. Our current vet does it for free. 3. They immediately stuck us on prescription dog food that we had to buy from them at over $100 a bag. 4. They never call you with results, it's all on you. Which actually speaks volumes as to whether or not they actually care. Even if something was wrong, you wouldn't find out unless you called. 5. Some of the staff are Just self righteous. They will lecture you about going to breeders, they allude to "having issues" before they even examine the dog. If you are wondering why this is the only vet that isn't booked. This is why. So if you want to pay 30% or more for everything this is the place. We have at least 3 neighbors who have left here as well.

After 4 calls, I got a call back scolding me for "bothering" them. This was doctor Staubach. I couldn't believe it but never went back as I didn't want to "bother" them with medical questions about my dogs meds. God forbid you call your vet with a question! Fast forward to yesterday. My employee who is 21 yo took on a geriatric dog for a friend. For a year he card for and loved this dog who also had cancer. Yesterday it was time to make the worst decision ever because the dog had started to become uncomfortable. Being it was about 5:30 pm I googled local vets to see if we could find someone open to take care of the euthanasia. I saw that Parkview was open until 7, so figured I'd give them a call. I mean how could they screw up putting a dog down, right? So I call...they answer...I ask what the charge is for euthanasia and that I have a dog who is suffering. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THE ANSWER I GET!!!! Are you ready? "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that but we aren't taking any new patients" WTF??? New patient????? They would see the dog once to put him down and then never again! Not one single ounce of compassion or a care in the world. They are in the WRONG business. SHAME ON THEM! Stay away, far away. Absolutely disgusting!
