prejudiced and judgmental, poor communication skills, and unprofessional at times. Last winter, I…read morehad a farm call scheduled, that morning I got a call that an emergency visit had to be seen, and he would be a few minutes later than scheduled. I had already been out in zero weather for almost half an hour and needed to go inside for the bathroom. He came while I was inside. I saw there was a text on my phone, saying "He was here, rang the doorbell, but no one answered, so he left." Problem: I don't have a doorbell. He came into the porch to knock or even knock on the storm door (my 4 dogs would have gone ballistic, letting me know. I called him and was spoken to with such anger and contempt, informing me that he couldn't come back (he'd literally been gone 3 minutes) and wasn't coming back my way later. I asked if I would be billed for the farm call, and he said, "he would see about that". Well, apparently, his way of handling it was to decide not to serve my horse ever. Because I called for a farm call for my sick horse, and he refused and even wouldn't do a haul-in appointment for me. Hurt my horses, and you are out of my world. I've given him plenty of my dog business and even worked with him on a rescue dog issue, and I was very impressed with his care. But I'm done now, no room for petty, immature behavior. I would have paid the 80 bucks for a missed farm call even though it wasn't 100% my fault (70+ year old bladder) but then he might have still treated me like he did....

I brought my border collie in to have her canine tooth that was infected pulled. Dr Ames said he…read morecould do it. When I picked her up he didn't remove her tooth said it was old injury and shrugged his shoulders. Instead he pulled a little tooth in front that wasn't infected and sent me home with antibiotics. Charged me $433. Now off to another vet to get job done
