Dr. Miller is the best example that I know of what a small town vet should be like. He genuinely…read morelikes all of the animals that he treats and spends any amount of time with you that you need as the concerned "parent". My best example that shows why you should go to his office instead of a big or little box vet occurred this past weekend. After picking up my dog from the groomer I noticed something that was concerning and decided to drive by his office on the way home. Knowing that I would be lucky to find the office open much less being able to get time with him, I hoped that I might be able to set up an appointment. I actually found him in the parking lot locking up for the day. He closed up the office and then looked at my dog in the parking lot. Then we talked in the parking lot for twenty minutes about my sports car and his soccer injury. The chat is not necessary but it gives you time (as it did for me that day) to think about any other questions that you might have. If you are looking for a puppy then you should give him a call for a recommendation for a breeder. He seems to be aware of or provides services for a lot of breeders (especially golden retrievers).

We had an emergency last week in the morning and, left a message explaining we were on our way there. When Jackie called back, she was surprised that we were already in their parking lot. She proceeded to explain that they do not see emergencies and told us she would email us a list of other vets in the area. My husband (who is in the medical field- and, even though his office is not 'set up' for emergencies- he will always see a patient in pain), asked if someone could take just 3-5 minutes & triage her in the back of our car, because she was in so much pain-she's a big Newfie and wasn't able to walk) Jackie said no. Needless to say, we were extremely disappointed. So we went to Pressly Animal Hospital and were accepted immediately. As soon as we walked through the door, Dr. Pressly took her into the back, did x rays and showed them to us, explained everything and we decided on a plan of action. They also followed up throughout the day and the next morning. So, please be aware. As much as we really like Dr. Miller, Miller Animal Hospital will NOT see your animal in an emergency. They will NOT be there when you really need them.....even if you've been faithfully singing their praises and giving them your business for 13 years. Our new vet is Dr. Pressly and we'll not be going back to Miller Animal Hospital.

I arrived with a deeply traumatized dog that was obviously shaking like a leaf. I arrived 13…read moreminutes after my appointment and was told to Leave and come back in an hour and a half even though the practice was empty. I imploded the front desk receptionists to have some compassion as I didn't want to put my dog through the cruelty of having to wait an additional hour and a half of anxiety, but I was told in no uncertain terms they were 'busy' and If you're more then ten minutes late they need to get money from the next customer. I was saddened and shocked by the lack of compassion. I left feeling very frustrated, feeling as though my pet had been mistreated, as had I. They couldn't take care of a visibly traumatized animal because we arrived 3 minutes after their ten minute cut off time. Mind you we have been clients the entire 5 year life of my dog. I called the receptionist hours later to ask for Dr. Jen Larson's email address (the owner) so that I could express my dissatisfaction at the way I and my dog were treated. The receptionist (Mikayla) told me she never hear of a 'Dr: Jen Larson'. I found that strange as it's small practice. I feel I was lied to. Later that night, I was surprised that Dr. Jen Larson thought it appropriate to call me at my home and lecture me on why her receptionists are the best and their policy is ten minutes and her practice did nothing wrong. Honestly I have never been looking for a discount or money back. All I wanted as an apology for mistreating my pet. Instead I was insulted in a very u professional way and quite frankly felt threatened by her tone. I'll be filing a complaint with the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Board. If this is how a 5 year client is treated understand what you are in for. They care about money more than a distressed animal and the only apology you will get is nothing.

I couldn't get her in to see our regular vet so I made an appointment with Petfolk. What a mistake. They flushed her ears, said she had an infection ~ not an ear mite problem ~ and sent us home with some ear drops. Within an hour or two, she was stumbling, off balance, and falling over. Her equilibrium was shot. Our Petfolk vet appointment was on July 14. Now, on August 13, she is STILL unsteady. Plus, she has been refusing to eat and requires doses of Mirataz. This ordeal has lasted over a month and there is no end in sight ~ despite weekly visits with our own vet. We're very concerned that we may lose our beloved cat. So. Think twice or thrice before entrusting your pet to Petfolk.

Around 15 years ago, my previous vet retired and referred me to Sharon Lakes. Even though it is…read moremuch farther from my home and in a more sketchy neighborhood, I trusted the judgment of my former vet and have been a client of Sharon Lakes since then. My dog actually loved going there because the staff knew her well and always treated her well. Over those years, I have spent probably close to $20,000 between kennel and veterinary services. (In some years, I have used the kennel for 50+ days.) I had a trip in late June, so as I have done many, many times before, I booked the kennel about 6 weeks in advance, so I thought all was well. A week before my trip, I received a text saying that the kennel would be closed for "reinnervation" (yes, that's how it was spelled!). I was baffled how they could make a decision to renovate at the beginning of the summer travel season and why in the world they would wait weeks after I had booked the appointment to notify me my appointment was being cancelled. That didn't sound at all like the behavior of the staff I had been dealing with for years. This seems an egregiously unprofessional way to treat one of their most loyal (and most profitable) clients. So at the last minute I had to find an alternate kennel in the middle of the busy summer travel season for a 15-year-old dog who has never kenneled anywhere besides Sharon Lakes--not the kind of stress a senior dog needs. The alternate kennel requested an additional vaccination that is usually optional for senior dogs so my dog lacked, so I hurried to Sharon Lakes to get that vaccination. During the much longer wait than normal in the waiting room, a twangy low-brow country music with profanity was blasting over the speakers (thankfully, this had never been the case before), and the front staff was full of people I had never seen before. Clearly something was very different. Only later did I find out that the entire staff had left after the hospital was recently purchased by a big faceless corporation. There was nobody employed there from the Sharon Lakes that I've known for years. In fact, there were no full-time vets there at all. That explains why I recently had to ask repeatedly for someone to approve a refill of the heartworm pills that I order annually. Then, to add insult to injury, after I had jumped through the hoops to find a different kennel at the last minute, 2 days before I was to leave town, I received both a text and an email asking me to confirm that I would be there for the boarding appointment--the same appointment that had been cancelled. So I had to text back to clarify why I was being to asked to confirm an appointment that was supposedly cancelled. They replied that it had indeed been cancelled but didn't explain why I was still receiving requests to confirm. This place has clearly been left in disarray, a sad shell of what it used to be, with a completely different front staff and evidently no full-time vets. This is no longer the facility we have known and loved for many years, so I'll be moving to a new vet and kennel. Postscript: I just picked my dog up from the new kennel that is much closer to my home. I was surprised to see that it was $10 per night cheaper than what I had been paying. New owner: Please spare me the vague and shallow "call us to discuss your concerns" copy-and-paste response. I've just plainly and publicly stated my concerns; there's nothing left to discuss in a non-public forum. The only reason I had traveled so far to that neighborhood was for the staff, but they are all gone. Nothing more to discuss.
