I had rescued my Bella at 4 months of age and when she reached the age of needing to be spayed it was set up for her to go to Philly thru the rescue I got her. But I couldn't do it. I needed to know the doc who was going to perform this surgery. I started calling around and came across Dr. Petfixer. I was glad I chose to go this way because Bella had reactions to the surgery and Doc was awesome and patient with me asking millions of questions. She was well taken care beyond what I expected. I've boarded Bella there and they treat her like family. I'm so thrilled to have found them. They don't charge high prices, they're patient and answer all questions, they follow up with phone calls. I HIGHLY recommend them. 2020 - Since this review I've rescued a sweet boy at 9 weeks old named Rocky. Rocky is now also a patient of Dr. Petfixer. He has been neutered by Doc and did fabulous. Unfortunately at the age of 2 Rocky had horrible plaque on his teeth. It was quite evident he would have gum disease if I didn't take care of this ASAP. Doc and Jenna, knowing how insane I am about my pups, took excellent care of my boy. He came home with pearly whites and has recovered nicely. I highly recommend Dr. Petfixer to everyone. read more

Dr Petfixer Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Harleysville, Pennsylvania

See all

We had the absolute worst possible experience with DrPetfixer and even worse with Dr. Montiero. we took the cat to the vet for treatment, and it was an epic failure from the minute we walked in the door. She ordered North $900.00 worth of blood work and x-rays which she failed to follow -up on. We have never received the results after phone calls, emails, and text communication with the office. Our Gabanna got progressively worse, and we called the office multiple times. Our cat was subjected to additional pain and suffering from a lack of follow-through. They didn't ever answer the calls, and there was no on-call service. I begged and pleaded on the voicemails to get the results of the tests so we could take our beloved pet to a practice that was invested in something other than my Credit Card--still, no marks and no communications three days later. Dr. Montiero and her office never called to find out how the patient was; they were only interested in charging for services not delivered. At this point, we had to take Gabanna to another provider where we had to do repeat testing at our cost as Dr. Montiero and her bad news bears office never followed up. The cat had grown so ill we had to have her euthanized still no communication from DR.M. Days later, I received blood work in an email with ZERO explanation. Isn't this why we take our animals to the vet for their expertise and guidance? Who sends labs out without interpretation? Days later, after multiple voicemails and messages left at the office, Dr. M calls to check on the cat, which is put to sleep by this time. She cavalierly asked hows Gabanna was. I then reached out to discuss the care and the bill, and she said she was on vacation or it was the weekend. I will call you next week; I am still waiting for a return call a month later. If you perform diagnostic testing and bloodwork, you are professionally obligated to report your findings to the patient's family and provide the professional guidance you were paid for to set a treatment plan. In all my years of going to doctors, vet dentists, and professional providers, I have never encountered such an unprofessional office void of empathy and compassion. I remain heartbroken that my beautiful cat was subject to additional pain due to the lack of medical management. And from a business standpoint, I feel robbed that I was charged over $900.00 and never received guidance, result interpretation, or a treatment plan. Shame on you for your despicable unprofessional behavior and upselling tactics of targeting vulnerable families who love their animals. read more

If you're ok with being overcharged for every service, then make sure you ask for Dr Stover or Jenna, the manager/technician, as they seem to be the only knowledgeable employees that I have met. In addition to the service price, you will ALWAYS have to pay an additional $30 or $60 just to have an employee touch your pet. Their pricing is absurd. Oh and if you unfortunately get the owner, Dr M.., she will recommend a list of expensive and unnecessary tests for your pet. read more

Nix the groomer there also. I wanted the hair trimmed in my dogs ears and she pulled the hair out. Said the dog got nippy. If you pulled my hair out I bite you too. Cut was very choppy. read more

My husband and I just got a golden puppy and brought him in for his vaccinations and tests. Although, there was an emergency early that morning that prevented us from being seen promptly, the tech led us into a room where Tucker would be more comfortable. The tech was really nice with him and gentle. We ended up waiting 45 minutes to be seen - it would have been better to have received a call prior to coming to let us know - but understand emergencies happen. The vet was also very nice with him and answered all of our first time dog owner questions, no matter how ridiculous! We are boarding our boy for one night this week - I will update my review afterwards. They are a small office and I like that as well. I feel it provides a more personalized visit. read more

Really great place. They helped my cat when she had an ear infection and very good at giving advice that will help your pet. I plan on making this my main vet for my cat read more

We recently had our dog spade there. Sloppy work lady.I could do better stitches than that. Was the phone ringing while you closed up my dog. WTF? This Vet wanted to add on all kinds of charges that weren't at all necessary now we are not even going back for a follow up. Thank God our baby girl is fine. I don't believe this woman likes her job much, Shes pushy and the office is a mess. Of coarse we were trying to save a few bucks but we will not be bringing our animals back to her again. Our dogs are family and we want them to see a vet who loves his/her job and will give them the best care possible. read more

Bad news!!! I took my dog for surgery and she was OVER SEDATED and passed away after surgery, never came out of the sedation . My pet was left unattended for hours after surgery without monitoring. The Vet should have her LICENSE REVOKED. She is in it for the money not the well being of the animals. Grossly understaffed and disorganized. The Tech was great. She's the only employee other than the Vet. Not near the number of employees it takes to perform the duties necessary to provide the service that is really needed for the animals and the customers. I love animals and our pet was a part of our family. The Vet talks a good game. However, she is nothing more than a con artist waiting to take your money and put your pet at risk. Please stay away! read more

I recently brought my new puppy Shih Tzu for a Wellness check in March 2018 and to much of my chagrin I was not pleased with their business practice. Prior to going to my appointment, I called first to ask how much was it going to cost for a Wellness check. I was told that it would be about $55. I was also told to bring in a fecal sample. Well, during the initial exam, I was told that my pup had an ear infection in one ear. Than Dr. Monteiro said that she needed to take him away for about 15 minutes or so. By the time she returned, she had 2 medicines which totaled about $48 and said that he had an ear infection in both ears and that he also had a yeast infection. She performed numerous services like $30 for hair removal, $42 for fecal exam, $22 for rabies vac which I had already pre-paid at Petco , $48 for meds and a few other services all while not being upfront about how much all this would cost. Being a new dog mom I didn't know the protocol. By the time I was ready to check out, my bill was $335. I was in complete sticker shock. I left confused, taken advantage of and very upset to say the least. I couldn't even sleep for 2 days and cried on the way home. After speaking to several friends and co-workers about my experience, they agreed that I was definitely taken advantage of for the sole fact that was an new experience and she took advantage of the situation. So I called a few days ago to cancel my follow up appointment and to discuss with Dr. Monteiro how upset I was about the bill, the reasons why I chose to patronize her in the 1st place and my reasons for even getting a puppy. All this fell on deaf ears. While speaking to her, she kept talking over me and spent all her time justifying her actions. She basically said that the onus was on me. That I should have asked the questions first. I said I wasn't aware of that at the time and she knew it. She said that most of her client's trust her judgement and let her do whatever is needed and just pay whatever. Needless to say, it was a pointless conversation and clearly one-sided. I will not be returning there ever again nor will I ever recommend anyone to her practice. She clearly puts greed before customer satisfaction. Thank goodness there are other reputable and reasonable vets out there that are not looking to nickel and dime you for every little thing that I will patronize going forward. This was just an expensive lesson learned. I totally regret ever meeting her and taking my beloved pup to her practice. But you live and you learn. To anyone reading this, beware of Dr. Petfixer and vets like her. You've been forewarned. This place is not even worthy of any stars but I had to give at least one to post my review. Greatly disappointed. read more

I brought my dog who was having seizures here. I was scared for him and panicked. when I got in to see the vet I told her what had been happening. She listened and didn't ask many questions. She informed me that, "sometimes dogs have seizures" and promptly started him on prescriptions. She then tried to talk me into several other expensive services. I explained that I was focused on the seizures, and unless he was due for shots or anything else, I wasn't interested at this point. She told me I needed to bring my dog in every 2 weeks to do blood work to check the levels of the prescription. The prescription right away had several awful side effects. (I found out via internet- not the vet- that it was normal). All the while he was having seizures still and I'm spending hundreds on the frequent blood work and prescriptions. Once during the blood work they made him bleed for about a hour due to their sloppy work. Finally, exasperated after months of this, I called the vet and told her the medicine had negative side effects and he was still seizing, she said "yeah it's not working let's just stop treatment.' And that was that. Time and money wasted. My dog was worse then when I brought him in. (I found out online the type of medicine he was on, HAD to be weened off or it could be very hazardous) So thank you google for saving my dog. I found another vet quickly who assessed my dog asked questions and finally recommended that I try switching his food first. Needless to say my pup has been seizure free for a year and half. And it cost me just the price of a physical exam. No blood work, no prescriptions. I'm not sure if petfixer just wants you to be a cash cow in expensive services or just didn't know what to do with his condition. They took my sick dog and made him worse, even kept me dangerously ill informed about his prescriptions. read more

If you are looking for a vet that cares about you and your pet, look no further. Dr. Monterio is wonderful. She is through without nickle and dimming you. On her off hours, she is just an email away. She is also very aware of costs for meds, as well as over the counter items. On several occasions she has told me where to find low cost alternatives. She handles the rabbits in our rescue. She is so knowledgeable and listens to her animal parents. She charges much less than the other Vet we were using. If your are looking for a Vet that is not going to take time with your animal, look elsewhere. She invest a good deal of time with every patient. I'm so glad we were able to find her!! read more

Pet Grooming is AWFUL - RUN AWAY and FAST! We took our 3 poodles in to get groomed and they came out looking like dogs found in the garbage. Their eyes and feet were not cleaned or groomed and their ears and poof on the head were mangled. My dogs would have been better being thrown in a pool and air drying that is how bad they looked. My one poodle got an infection from being cut by the blade right near her eye. The groomer and owner didn't care about any of our complaints. If you love your pets, NEVER go to this place ---they are AWFUL! read more

i took my finch to this veterinarian because i thought he had an ingrown feather because i was told that was very common for finches. i had a so called consultation which was $54.00. she never really told me what was wrong with him. she gave him a needle in this sack with a drain seroma which was $45.00 and then another $40.00 baytril was what he was supposed to drink for 5 to 7 days. a week later it was back and larger. they wanted me to bring him back and then charge me another $50.00 already paid $150.00. i had a talk with her and said i didn't have another $50.00 so then she preceded to tell me after i paid all this money that if he needed surgery he was too small of a bird to take anesthesia and she would call around to see if any other vets had another idea which i never heard from her but she was willing to take another $50.00 from me knowing she couldn't help him. meanwhile i went to another vet who i had a consultation with and he told me my finch did not have a ingrown feather. he had a cyst on a gland and he gave me medicine to put in his water and pressed the liquid out. this veterinarian charged me $77.60 for everything and was very compassionate. will wait out my week and see how he does. that veterinarian just wanted to take people's money. guess i'm lucky he's still alive. if anybody is looking for a veterinarian i wouldn't recommend this place. read more
