    A friend of mine has used Dr. Presnell for years with great success at a lower cost than my current…read morevets prices, and so when she was giving up an appointment slot I jumped at the chance to take it for my aging dog who needed to be seen. Unfortunately, we were seen by a new, younger vet and NOT Dr. Presnell. The bloodwork came back less than favorable and she suggested they keep him for two nights. She said they couldn't keep him longer regardless of his condition because of a one day holiday (that should have been a red flag). I inquired about overnight hospitalization prices and was told it was $60 a night. We agreed. We called to get updates (they never called us with any information) and the one and only time they called back, I was told he seemed to be doing better with fluids and had taken a spoonful of food. After the second night, we picked him up with the expectation (by what we had been told up to that point) that he was doing a bit better and anticipated a $300-$500 vet bill. The bill was nearly $1000!!! We were then told "he may, or may not recover". I know there is no way to predict the outcome, but my dog came home even worse than he was. Once we saw him it was obvious that he hadn't improved at all. He refused to eat, vomiting and had labored breathing. I wish the vet had given us a true prognosis of how bad things were. I would have preferred a truth bomb that it was his time, rather than given hope when things were hopeless of improvement. I had to go to my regular vet and have him put down after having had him home for 1 1/2 hours. I felt horribly guilty that the last two nights of my aging dogs life were spent having test and being given injections surrounded by strangers.

    Their neglect killed our Yorkie! 5/20/23 They fed our dog treats (we suspect more than just one)…read morethat she wasn't supposed to have. We told the owner Laura she can only have food from the bag we brought with her. She said no problem, we'll take great care of her. When we dropped her off we left verbal and written instructions with her food and reiterated that she gets pancreatitis easily and cannot have anything but what we brought for her. On Friday 5/19 our Yorkie that had been staying there since 5/13/23 started throwing up and had diarrhea(common reaction to eating things she isn't supposed to have). She admitted Charli had "stolen" a treat from another dog on Thursday. The owner who we thought surely had the ability to assess her condition did offer to take her to the vet if we wanted but had no sense of urgency in her voice and when questioned about her condition she stated she was acting fine and was up and running around. (Not normal when she's sick). She assured us she'd be with her another 6 hours and would monitor her via camera that night and let me know immediately if her condition didn't improve or worsened. We heard nothing else until the next morning. We received a call when we were coming back from vacation 5/20 and were told Charli had passed. No apologies, wasn't her fault, excuse after excuse. But she did say we'll clean her up. I wonder why? Could it be because a dog that has diarrhea and vomits all afternoon and night isolated in a cage suffering and actively dying needs cleaning up. The story has changed multiple times..even during the course of each conversation so we may never know the truth but can only speculate that she has no professional experience with animals and cannot assess when they are in danger. (God if we'd only have thought to ask specifically and didn't just assume all of her "years" in the business equaled knowledge of animals) Another reviewer said she made him come get his dog for the same issue And her response was "vomiting and diarrhea can cause dehydration and the dog can die" yet I get no sense of urgency and none of the same concern for our little girl. She knew. She had to be in distress when she called me yet she assured me she was acting fine. She assured me she'd call if it didn't stop or got worse. I can only assume they put her in a cage to keep her diarrhea and vomiting from making a mess and left her to die alone in a strange place for the next 12+ hours. Unacceptable. Completely avoidable and unacceptable. We didn't get the same courtesy God how we wish she'd have insisted we come get her or have had enough knowledge to know the vet was needed. Was she afraid of another bad review? Was she afraid because she knew Charli was sick because of their negligence? We had Charli for 11 years, had a vet checkup on 5/12/23 to show them she was healthy. And by them not doing their job, they killed her. I can't state this enough...... DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMAL THERE! We don't want what happened to our baby to happen to your pet/family member.

    This place literally killed my yorkie. She was dropped off on 5/13/23 for the week. She had a…read morebackpack with her food in it and strict instructions on not give her anything to eat except for what I brought with her. I discussed her history of pancreatitis and made it clear that eating anything other than what we sent with her would make her sick. I got a call on 5/19/23 at 2 pm telling me she was having diarrhea and vomiting. She said she didn't mind to take her to the vet if I wanted. I tried to assess the situation and asked a few questions. I felt no sense of urgency in her voice and was told she was acting fine and running around. She admitted she allowed her to get ahold of a treat she wasn't supposed to have. Based on her statements, it sounded like typical reaction to eating something she shouldn't have and at that point she had just thrown up and had diarrhea earlier in the day. I was told she would be there until 8 pm and I asked her to please monitor the situation and call me back immediately if the situation did not improve or continued. The next call we received was at 9:45 the next morning telling us they found her dead in her stall. The stories we have gotten have not been consistent so we may never know the truth, but I can only speculate that she was not monitored and suffered and died alone in a strange place. Ten months earlier she was given a bad review by a customer who complained she made him pick up his dog a short time after he dropped the dog off because the dog was vomiting and had diarrhea. Her response was that she made him come get the dog because vomiting and diarrhea were serious and could result in death if not treated. One episode of diarrhea and vomiting isn't dangerous. Continued episodes can be fatal. She admitted when they found her in the morning she had "made a mess" and they gave her a bath before we got there to pick up her body. So it seems impossible that she was monitored like we were promised she would be. Bottom line, she let our little girl eat something that was toxic to her and made light of the situation and ignored how sick she was, locked her in a stall and left her to die. Needless to say, I would not suggest you ever leave your furry family members in her care. It's been the most devastating and regrettable decision we ever made.

    This place is awesome! The employees here are very friendly and informative. I had to bring my…read morerabbit to UT emergency vet a few weeks back because her leg was broken, she got caught in the couch.. which now I removed the bottom so she can no longer go into it. Anyways, I called about 15-16 clinics all the way from Knoxville, Greenville, even places all the way in Virginia. This place was able to get my rabbit in to replace the cast and kept me up to date on things and never got an attitude with me like UT did.

    We live in the country and have had several kittens show up over the years. Last week, a 6 week…read moreold, very thin 1.5 lb kitten showed up. It took two days to get close enough to feed her, but after that we fed her every two hours and she had a very hearty appetite. She appeared on a Friday but I couldn't get an appointment with the Vet until Wednesday. My wife and I both held her in our laps off and on for three days. She had a small house on our back porch and she went in and out regularly. She followed me around like a puppy. We knew she needed to gain weight and so fed her every 2-3 hours and she always ate. At the vets office she was strong enough to climb out of her carry bag several times. She did have a temp of 98.3 which is low. She had some evidence of fleas though we never saw one and she never scratched herself. She was diagnosed with round worms. So, she was given dewormer, a distemper vaccine and then was rubbed down with Adams Flea and Tick Spray. The Dr. wasn't in the room for that, he had left and his assistant did this. She used a healthy dose, spraying it on her rubber gloves and rubbing the kitten from head to tail and a double dose around the neck, ears and head. I've read, wetting their skin with this flea spray can cause further hypothermia. But the spray also says not to use on kittens less than 12 weeks old. I left the office at 3 pm and by 6:15 the kitten was lifeless and limp as a dishrag. She collapsed attempting to get in her bed. She was halfway in her bed with legs and defecation, hanging outside. She lost all control and had zero, ability to move. We have a vet in our family who said the flea spray is toxic and the kitten can't handle it and we should give her a bath in dawn, blow dry her, wrap her up and put on a heat pad. When we bathed her, she was already basically dead. Just a little shallow breathing and she died shorthly after. I returned to the vet's office the next morning and asked to see the flea and tick spray. One of the girls brought it to me and I took pictures of the bottle and label. I also google what happens if you put this on a kitten that is too young and too small. The girls in the office were devastated. They let me talk to the Dr. Mark Riehl. I was in an examine room, he came in the back door and was defensive and dismissive and started to just leave on a few occasions. He told me the kitten had one foot in the grave when I brought her in, that she was flea infested and he was between a rock and a hard place trying to save her life. My question is, if she is eating, has people careing for her, why misuse a flea product that he has to know has side effects when used off label. If she was fragile, why not recommend a flea comb and dawn bath, keep feeding her and come back in a couple weeks once she builds some strenght? His demeanor was so calloused and he was clearly in cover his butt mode. When I was leaving he said, do you know there are thousands of stray kittens out there. I'm not sure what that meant? Like, go find another one? There was no discussion prior to using the flea treatment. Like, this could put your kitten at risk. I also called the Adams company, they had to file an EPA report for off label use that caused a death. They said we do not support any off label use. My purpose in going to talk with the clinic was hoping they would say, that was a mistake and we won't do that to other small kittens. But when the Dr. acted the way he did, I was left with no other options than to report him to the state board and go public with my concerns. I must add one disclaimer. The ladies at the front desk were full of compassion and empathy and told me they would research the product. I'm sure they have seen other things that have caused them concern.
