    I took my guinea pig in today, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. When I arrived, they…read morechecked with Dr. Martin to see if he would be willing to examine a guinea pig. He was honest that he doesn't see many guinea pigs and isn't a specialist, but he was willing to help and do his best. What really impressed me was that he took the time to review his guinea pig reference materials before prescribing medication to make sure he was using an appropriate treatment and dosage. I appreciated his honesty, care, and willingness to help instead of turning us away. While they may not have all the specialized equipment of an exotic animal clinic, they treated my pet with compassion and took my concerns seriously. I'm very grateful for the care they provided and would recommend them to anyone looking for a veterinary team that truly cares about their patients.

    Ok... I'm finally ready to talk about this…read more.. The morning I woke up and found Scully Cat lethargic, I was completely distraught. I wrapped her up in a towel and drove to the nearest clinic to me, not knowing if they could help, because it was just a spay/neuter clinic, but it was so close to my house, I just went. They were extremely kind and told me that they unfortunately couldn't help, but that Boulevard Animal Hospital was just down the road. So, I got back in my car and went straight there. When I arrived, the receptionist was very kind, I told her I was waiting on payment from a client, but Scully was actively dying in my arms. She said she'd see what they could do. After about 5 mins of waiting, they got us back into a room, the tech came and took my information and said the vet would be right with us. This is where it completely went south. Dr. Martin walked in and the first thing he said was: "Ok, I need some information, because none of this makes sense." Which was bewildering, but ok, I explained again. Scully was my foster fail from the humane society. I had stopped at a different clinic first because they were so close to me, they referred me to Blvd. And her most recent vet records were at the office I used to work at. Then, he moved onto payment. I explained again that I have a client that usually pays me Sunday nights, but she hadn't yet (this was Monday). And that I also had money from Rover that had already been released, but hadn't hit my bank account yet. "So you can pay today?" "Yes." "So they can call you this afternoon and you'll have it?" "Yes." (Keep in mind that my sweet baby is actively dying in my arms) "I really could just do it for free with all the people who never pay. I could pay everyone in the building a year's salary with what we don't get paid." "I understand, but I'm just waiting for the money to hit my bank." "Well, are you wanting her back?" "I would like her to be cremated." "Well, we definitely can't do that until you pay." "I understand, my pay has been released, I'm just waiting for it to hit my bank." "So they can call you this afternoon or tomorrow morning and you'll have it?" "Yes." FINALLY, he decided he'd asked me enough times, so he proceeded. I left absolutely broken. My sweet girl, left to suffer... over $91. The very SECOND that money hit my bank account, I started calling. I believe I called 7 times that Monday and left a message. No response. Tuesday, I called multiple times and ended up leaving a *slightly rude* message. Shortly after, I got a call for payment. I told the receptionist what had happened with Dr. Martin and how upset I was about it. Who HOUNDS someone about payment while letting their baby suffer, and then can't be bothered to take it??? Almost immediately after that call, I got another one... from Dr. Martin himself "apologizing" for the situation. It wasn't an apology at all, it was damage control. He ended up telling me: "At the end of the day, it's a business." Sir, your business is compassion. If you can sit and watch an animal suffer because you're worried about a $91 payday, you've lost the plot. (I do have a recording of the conversation, if anyone wants it, they are welcome to message me.) To add insult to injury, there was a miscommunication with the crematorium, somehow... They changed her name from Scully to "Sally" so I've got that nice little momento. Not to mention the horribly smudged paw prints I was sent. Please, if you care for your pets, don't take them to see Dr. Martin. He does NOT care. After all, at the end of the day, it's just a business.

    After seeing the regular vet and my cat's serious illness not improving, I called Urgent Vet ahead…read moreof time to ask about bringing my cat in for IV fluids. They told me to come in the next day so I got there when they opened the next morning. They ran labs and I had to wait 2 hours for the vet to then tell me they don't offer IV fluids and refer me to an emergency vet. Every hour is critical for the illness my cat has so they wasted a ton of time and the damage could be irreversible because of that according to the vet. Also wasted $400 in duplicate charges because I had to go to the emergency vet immediately from there. Update to review- The practice manager did reach out to me and apologized. She said they will improve their training on this to try to prevent it in the future, which I appreciate and is why I brought up the issue. I also want to say the vet tech and vet that we saw there were great despite not being able to provide the treatment my cat needed.

    Closed office but not online. Got several text verifying apt but when arrived no answer note on…read moredoor said closed. Then got text as if I no showed and my apt was cancelled. Ironic Really sad because I only use in extreme emergencies due to past history of bad experiences and always wanting thousands of dollars of unnecessary testing and when declined the vet refused to work with me any longer. Nothing like consumer choice! The only reason I went back tonight was because my last dog had a heart attack and end of life and the vet that evening was great. If you had to close you post online as well if that is how to schedule apt
