I have brought a variety of dogs to Dr. B over the years, starting in Johnson City. The care and…read moreexpertise she provides is second to none. She's brilliant and has always gone above and beyond for my crew. I frequent surrounding specialty hospitals because I have complicated medical/special need's dogs. I appreciate Dr. B's understanding that it takes a village to support these special needs dogs and is always willing to collaborate with other vet professionals. I always find myself coming back for Dr. B's opinion and care. She is willing to seek alternative therapies and never bats an eye at a complicated case. I appreciate her years of experience, attention to detail and her commitment in staying up-to-date with vet med advancements. I think one of the most important things about her, is that she truly understands/trusts that you know your pet the best - she actually listens and always takes your opinion into consideration when seeking the best treatment options. She understands that each animal is an individual and there is no "one size fits all" when formulating her treatment plan. She loves to educate and will answer all of your questions in a kind, non-condescending way. When asking her questions/opinions, she is always direct and to the point, but never harsh in her answers. This review is long overdue. Dr. B has helped me through a lot of scary times... emergency surgeries, cancer treatments, kidney failure, a rare urinary disorder, endocrine disorders, chronic skin issues and respiratory diseases on top of routine vaccines, bloodwork and dentals. Her scope of knowledge is wide and our area is lucky to have her as a resource. Her heart is genuine and she truly cares for each of her patients like she would her own. Thank you, Dr. B! We love you lots!!

I just got off the phone with Merck and the gentleman told me they just called two hours ago to report it. I was under the impression this was taken care off until I got in touch with Dickin and found out it had not. Not one professional in that office thought to raise their voice and do the right thing until I demanded it be done. Not even yesterday either when I was upset and standing up Skye and the other animals that may have had an adverse reaction. So how many got left unreported? This is frightening and unethical.

On Friday, May 2, 2025, at 11:40 AM, I took my sweet boy Kane to Vestal Veterinary Hospital for a…read moreroutine check-up. He's always been sedated for nail trims -- something we've done before with no issues. They used a method they called the "door technique," where they pulled his leash through a door to corner him for the sedation shot. This time, they pulled way too hard. Kane was visibly distressed -- I told them, "You're strangling him" but they assumed he was tired from the shot. Right after they gave him the shot, Kane collapsed. It didn't look like sedation -- it looked like exhaustion. I said, "He's tired, you guys strangled him " but they brushed it off. Later, while he was sleeping, they proceeded with the check-up. He seemed to be asleep, even snoring. As the vet stepped out and the tech continued cleaning his ears, I saw something change. Kane took two deep breaths and went still. I asked, "Is he breathing?" The technician -- sitting right over him -- hadn't noticed. She checked his pulse, panicked, and called the Doctor. They performed CPR and gave him the reversal shot, but it was too late. They worked on him for about 15 minutes before telling us there was no pulse. We told them to stop Kane had already been through enough. Kane never had any issues with sedation before. What happened was preventable. They failed to listen, failed to monitor him, and failed to act quickly. We left that day without our best friend. Just a bill, and no written explanation of what went wrong, despite asking multiple times. The doctor said " if I would've known he was in distress before giving him the shot I would've never had him sedated. " they failed my baby. I'm sharing this because people need to know. Kane was more than a pet -- he was family he was our protector our best friend our little brother. He deserved better care and more attention. I will never forget what happened that day, and I hope this serves as a reminder to all pet owners: always advocate for your animals, even at the vet's office. Above is a post made by Kyndall Denise on Facebook. When I write this on 5/7/25 this was posted one day ago. Vestal Veterinarian Hospital responded to this story, apologizing, quite quickly. Something they also have done quickly is block everyone who have angry reacted to their Facebook post. If this doesnt speak on their character I don't know what else will, but maybe this next part will help some more. Pictured on the post is one of the staff members with her knee on dog after he has been chocked out and given anesthetic. Also video'd is three nurses administering the anesthetic. One chokes the dog out with a prong collar it looks like, something chain. In the video you can hear the dog struggling to breathe greatly and after the shot is administered and he is able to try to catch up on breath, his back legs kick out as he sprawls on the ground, still struggling to breath. Then to add the cherry on top is a receipt totaling to $1,261.90.

The girl at the front desk told me she would check with the vet and give me a call back. I did not receive a call back. On Friday I called again and talked with the same girl. She had absolutely no idea. She said that there were no notes in the system but she would check with the vet and they would call me back. No one called. Today is my dogs appointment so I call first thing this morning. I talk to a guy at the front desk and he tells me that they cannot do the sedation because they need 24-48 hours notice and have my dog fast. I CALLED TWICE LAST WEEK TO HAVE THIS SET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told the guy that I will find another vet for both my dogs. The vet techs and veterinarians are great here but the front desk people are completely useless and are the reason they are losing both my dogs as patients.
