I'm sharing this to help other pet owners avoid what we went through. I do not recommend Dr. McLeod…read morefor major oral surgery. For complex procedures, I strongly recommend seeking a Board-Certified Veterinary Dentist. If telehealth is used, insist on speaking directly with the surgeon who performed the procedure, and do not rely on guidance from other staff. Dr. McLeod extracted teeth from my cat Egon on Mon. She directed me to use telehealth for follow-up. I called Thurs AM to report complete anorexia since surgery. I believed McLeod was overseeing Egon's care, but she'd disengaged. Care was handled by a receptionist, office manager, & Dr. Kline. In NC, a VCPR is required before a vet can legally practice telemedicine & can only be established through an in-person exam. I believe Kline's use of telemedicine was inappropriate as she later admitted in writing to the NCVMB she'd not established the required in-person VCPR for prescribing medication or scheduling surgery. I expected AHW to indicate if telehealth was inappropriate. That never happened. Telehealth replaced in-person care, & no one recognized 3 days without eating required urgent evaluation, despite notes saying Egon should eat by Tues. Thurs, Recpst stated the vet wants to know if I can "give gabapentin orally? otherwise we would have to sedate him to examine". I stated I didn't want to sedate unnecessarily. The Recpst recorded this as "She does not want to bring him in." I never said that. I explained Egon can't be pilled & ask for transdermal(TD) equivalent. I called again & requested compounded TD Gabapentin(GBP) from my pharmacy. This call wasn't documented, leading Kline to believe I refused GBP. The Recpst called & told me to use an appetite stimulant I already had. When I asked about pain control, the Recpst, without consulting the vet, falsely claimed GBP was only being recommended as an appetite stimulant, not for pain, & that TD GBP does not exist. She falsely recorded that Egon was drinking. Kline later said she meant liquid. Fri. AM, I reported Egon was still not eating & was yelping in pain. I explained I can't drive due to disability & that if an appt was needed, I'd need time to arrange a ride. I requested TD pain meds for pickup. The office mgr only recorded "Not doing well after full mouth extractions." Without calling me, Kline created an estimate for an esophageal feeding tube surgery. She tried to notify me of her short surgery window, but dialed the wrong number. Records confirm she didn't call me or the 2 emergency contacts on file. She made no further attempts & didn't instruct staff to try again. Around 3 PM, I called about the meds. Kline finally answered & said TD pain med was only available in-office & offered for me to bring Egon in to "attempt to re-apply Zorbium without sedation"--through the cage, without checking his mouth. She then offered GBP, suggesting I "could squirt it in his mouth if he hissed at" me. She explained hepatic lipidosis risk & said he needed an e-tube surgery, yet she was still willing to dispense meds without an exam, diagnosis, or VCPR. She asked if I could manage the tube at home. I said I wasn't sure, but she provided no alternative, so I agreed. It was too late for her to perform the surgery, so she attempted to refer it to Carolina Vet. Specialists (CVS). I never knew McLeod was not supervising Egon's care. Thank God, CVS refused to place the e-tube. It would've aggravated Egon's already severe inflammation & would've been impossible for me to manage. Egon was admitted to the ICU at CVS, where he received a nasal feeding tube. He later had wound dehiscence & required a 2nd ICU stay. I believe the delay between my first report of anorexia & the start of proper hydration, nutrition & IV meds left Egon severely weakened. His recovery took 18 days instead of the expected 5.

It isn't. Dr Wells also gave suggestions as far as diet and information about talking to a nutritionist. Our KoKo started improving after only a month! She is more playful, she's slowly gaining weight, her coat looks better, her ears are better since she doesn't eat chicken anymore, plus no more biting her feet raw. One of the previous vets had also said she had ocd because of the chewing at her feet, it was the chicken allergy! Dr Wells thinks outside the box and will do everything that she can to help your pet, or refer you to a specialist if the pet needs it, like human's actually do. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have my rescue Samantha. They knew she would be a perfect fit for my family after my GSD. I couldn't imagine taking my fur children or fur grandchildren anywhere else. I'm so grateful that I found them.

Brad Craig is the most caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable veterinarian you will meet. I've always said the reason our dogs lived as long as they have/did was that of the expert care and education received by Dr. Craig. Dr. Miller Teuschler joined the practice a number of years ago and they make an excellent team along with the staff. Everyone knows our pets when they walk in the door and are treated like family and given the best care possible. If you truly listen and do what Dr. Craig and Dr. Teuschler say for the health of your pets - you will have very healthy and happy pet family!!

Opportunistic overcharging business warning- Mount Tabor animal Hospital Winston-Salem, NC…read more While this office provides good medical care, be warned: their pricing is anywhere from double to 1,000% higher than other local clinics. It is deeply disappointing to see a veterinary practice take such financial advantage of pet owners. My puppy was taken in due to the regular vet being closed for the day after her spay procedure opened in two places, explicitly asking for staples to be replaced and antibiotics given. Without my consent, they removed and replaced all of her prior closures entirely. While the medical work was done well, they charged me double the cost of the entire original spay procedure just to close the wound ($500). They even tried to charge me for an e-collar, despite her being dropped off wearing one. In another instance, they charged me well over $2,000 for a procedure to remove two tumors. When the cancer unfortunately recurred, my new vet performed three tumor removals for just $250 total. After taking my dogs here for years, switching to a new vet opened my eyes. I learned this office had been pushing unnecessary care, like a Bordetella vaccine for dogs that are never boarded, and even trying to pressure my mother into a livestock-contact vaccine her dog didn't need. This business has clearly shifted its motivation from animal care to extreme profit margins. Please shop around and do a cost comparison before bringing your pets here. Shame on you for taking advantage of people who just want to care for their animals.

She stuck my dog several times - un successfully - for his heart worm blood test. The vet finally got his blood. He is short haired and has visible giant veins. They were training another tech to restrain cats for shots. I said maybe this is not the best cat to learn on. She growls spits and hisses. Last year she was fine. They muzzled the cat. She growled hisssed and spat. Every time the poor little learning tech jumped. It was ugly. The tech and vet were scratched. They washed up and applied bandaids and laughed saying it was a learning experience. 2 days later I got a call from animal control. He said they were bit. I say no the cat was muzzled they were clearly scratched. He said cats lick their feet it could spread rabies. I say she is three they have records of her three up to date rabies shots. He said he had to check with the health department. He then called back and said scratches did not count. But he had to hear from the 'victim' if it was a scratch or a bite. It's 6 days and he can't get a response from her. I'll never use them again.
