    I have recently taken both my dogs to Dr. Barke, being new in town…read more Dog 1- had what I thought was a cyst that might need draining, along with an update on shots. Dr. Barke's Office is working with Covid rules, so they took him in while I waited in my car. However, Dr. Barke wanted to be able to tell me exactly what was going on with my dog. So she allowed me to come into the office, with my mask on, and stay at least 6' away from the examining table while she told me all she'd found, and why she wanted a blood test. She discovered that my dog was extremely low on thyroid, and that arthritis was making his joints hurt. She could tell by how he reacted to her touch, as well as how he moved. Long story short, she didn't skimp on time to just give him the shots and tell me the lump was a fat pocket. She has true care for the well-being of the animals in her care. He's a much happier, and friskier dog now that he's on corrective medication. Dog #2 - I nicknamed this dog Cujo because, even though he's small, he is a fear-biter and a screamer. I told them in advance, and they gave me a muzzle to put on him. They only had to give him his vaccinations, and trim his nails, but he was still a little pain in the butt! They couldn't have been nicer with him. It's difficult, because with Covid 19, I wasn't able to be in the room to settle him down for them. Letting them know his nasty temperament in advance made sure everyone came out unscathed! Dr. Barke gave me some ideas for what we could do in the future to keep him from stressing out, which was extremely helpful. My dogs are lucky to have such a good vet, and I'm very happy with their service.

Dr. Barbara Barke and her staff were professional and very friendly. They were well organized and took great care of our Lab. They had contacted our home vet and obtained our dog's medical history before we arrived. She discovered the problem right away and explained it to us. Treatment was performed and antibiotics and care instructions were provided. We are very happy with Dr. Barke and were fortunate to take our dog in to the Gold Beach Veterinary Clinic, as her situation would have only gotten worse. We are happy campers once again!

    What can be said about someone who saves the life of a member of your family…read more We had a sick puppy who for sure would have died if we didn't get him help. We are brand new doggie parents so we didn't have establish care at any local veterinary clinic or hospital. So when our puppy got deathly ill we begged every clinic in town to help us and Allen creek took mercy on us and treated our doggie. When the treatment needed was going to be completely out of our budget they intensely questioned us to see what we were able to do at home and what needed to be done at the hospital. Instead of a week in the hospital we hospitalized him overnight and did the rest of the care at home with an assortment of medication, probiotics, and ways to keep him hydrated.

    Allen Creek Vet prescribed osteoarthritis drug Solensia for my 9 year old cat. They did not obtain…read moremy informed consent and did not tell me about the many cats who've had severe adverse reactions and death. They only told me it was much safer than any other pain med and that it just turned the pain off. I wasn't shown the Zoetis brochure that lists all the adverse effects including lameness in 4.4% of cats. They didn't mention that there are far more reported serious adverse reactions and deaths for this drug than all the other NSAIDs combined. Within hours of the injection my cat started having seizures that continued for several weeks. She also started wobbling around on her hind legs as she walked. Within days she was barely able to get onto a 12" high shelf on her cat tree. Eventually, both her hind legs stopped working and she had to haul herself around with her front legs while her hind legs dragged behind her. I tried over and over to get Allen Creek Vet to consider these clear signs that she'd had a serious adverse reaction to Solensia but I was repeatedly brushed off and gaslighted about it. Dr. Heidi twice refused to even watch my before and after Solensia video that I made to show what a dramatic and horrible change Solensia had made in my cat. In fact, they wanted to give my cat another Solensia injection rather than trying to help her with the damage that had already been done. Dr Heidi noted the dramatically increased WBC count after the Solensia injections and said she'd have to research but never did anything about it. Less than 4 months after the Solensia injection, I went to a different vet who x-rayed my cat. The x-rays showed a huge tumor about 4" across that had not been there on her previous x-ray just 6 days before the Solensia injection. The tumor was so invasive I had to euthanize my soul kitty. Although Allen Creek was aware of all of this, nobody has reached out to apologize or express any sympathy at all and my two requests for my cat's medical records have been ignored. As far as I can tell, Allen Creek Vet's actions were directly responsible for my soul kitty's passing and they apparently don't care at all. This is not a safe place to take your precious animals. Please do your research before you let any vet inject your cat or dog with this dangerous drug that was banned for human use because of what it does to the body.

    I scheduled an establishing appointment for my 12-month-old lab to discuss vaccines, neutering, and…read moremicrochipping, as well as to address my concerns about his past severe reaction to puppy vaccines. When I called to make the appointment, I explained that I was nervous about proceeding with vaccinations due to his previous reaction and wanted a detailed discussion to help me prepare. I was assured that we would have a discussion regarding the previous reaction and a plan on how to move forward, but unfortunately, that did not happen. I was given a single sheet listing vaccines and their purposes(that I had to press for), but nothing addressing my specific concerns about adverse reactions or a personalized plan for my dog. I tried asking specific questions regarding the neutering--such as whether he would need a cone after surgery and if he could be around his brother afterward--but instead of receiving basic information, I was simply told, "We will go over that when you come in for the appointment." That was the whole reason I made this appointment in the first place. They let me know they had discharge paperwork. When I asked for discharge paperwork to review in advance, I was told they would provide it later. They mentioned they could build me a packet with all kinds of information, but it wouldn't be ready today- despite me clearly outlining what I needed before the appointment. The actual visit felt rushed and uninformative. My dog was weighed, given a quick visual check, and that was it--yet the cost was $62. My boyfriend's 4-year-old dog had the same experience and was also charged $62 (we brought them together) Additionally, when we asked for their nails to be trimmed, my dog moved slightly after the cut, and we were immediately told he would need to be sedated to finish. This was his first time there, and a little nervousness should have been expected. On top of all of this, our appointments were scheduled for 4 PM. We arrived 15 minutes early to provide records and complete any paperwork, yet we weren't called back until nearly 4:30--only to receive a basic weigh-in and visual check. I was really hoping for a more thorough and informative visit, especially given the specific concerns I expressed in advance. Unfortunately, the experience left me feeling unprepared and uncertain about the next steps for my dog's care.
