Columbia Veterinary Hospital - Hmm?

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE IF YOU SUSPECT GRASS SEED INHALATION. Have been going to them for…read moreyears, since they were in a smaller clinic. Things changed when they built a fancy new building of their own on the river, and now it seems to be mostly a monetary focus. My friend is furious that they "let her dog die" and I had my own bad experience when I brought my own dog in for evaluation on a suspected airway obstruction. Instead of looking at the airway obstruction, they ran over $400 in various blood tests-including pancreas for some damn reason! When it came time to address the airway obstruction, they said they don't have the specialized equipment- which is the whole reason I brought her in. We live in the Columbia River Gorge, and this is a semi-rural vet hospital, and they don't have the expensive equipment to diagnose a simple grass seed (which can be deadly). When I asked why they don't have the equipment I was told they just can't afford it, and nobody there is trained to operate it anyway. I told them I thought it would be a good idea to get this because grass seed problems are very very common around here. Apparently the nurse didn't like my audacity to suggest what I would like to see in a vet, and had the owner call me back and tell me off for 10 minutes, then tell me to come and pick up my sick dog - that they would not treat it. Wow. Just kicked a sick animal to the street. They were very careful to hold my pet back until I paid. Imagine, kicking someone out of your practice and expecting payment! But it showed me their priorities and that they do this OFTEN. I understand owners are upset when their pets become sick, and I wish they would also, and show a little compassion. Nope- out the door with you! Update: She was taken to another vet, who quickly noticed a swollen neck, so they put her under anesthesia and checked out her airways- what I wanted Columbia to do! They found no obstruction, but he as a type at inflammatory laryngitis cats get, and an experienced vet would know about. Treating with cortisol. I really feel like Columbia run all those vague tests to run up bills, and they started doing that when they moved into their new fancy building. It's so transparent. The young vets just starting out have no idea.

On September 14th of this year we were camping at Cottonwood Canyon. We live near Portland & had…read morejust arrived at the campsite. My dog Walter was involved in a nasty little altercation with a friend's dog and he was slashed on the side of his ribcage by one of her nails. I could tell right away that while there was no blood, a stitch or two or three would be the optimal treatment. Unfortunately it was after hours and while it was an ugly wound, we didn't consider this an emergency enough to cause delays in life-or-limb saving treatment for other animals, so we waited until the following day. My husband took Walter to My Family's Pet Doctor. Conveniently for us, they had a cancellation that morning and were able to get him in right away. We're not doctors, and we are especially not veterinary doctors. But we stupidly assumed he would be getting a few stitches under local anesthesia. Welp, as it turns out, we were dumb, this wasn't how it was done. It was done using general anesthesia. Walter received 8 stitches along with a thorough cleaning & inspection of the wound. We were sent home with pain meds & antibiotics. I removed Walter's stitches 12 days later and the would looks beautiful. There were no complications & we had no concern about infection at any time. The entire process was just under $500. And while this is a lot of money I feel it was more than fair & was honestly expecting it to cost more. In general, veterinarians & veterinary staff are woefully underpaid for their level of education and the amount of emotional & mental stress they are subjected to on a daily basis. We don't have pet insurance but hopefully at some point it becomes mainstream so that the people that care for our animals can be compensated more appropriately without it feeling like a "racket" to pet parents. Anyways, we appreciate Dr. Katie Sowell and her team so much for getting our dumb pooch stitched back up. He's back to his handsome old self.

Through a soft-hearted family member, we acquired three "teenage" barn kittens - two males, one…read morefemale. I checked around for feral/stray cat neutering, none currently available. The I checked pricing for veterinary services from Hood River to The Dalles. The results were from around $400 to over $600 PER CAT; except My Family's Pet Doctor which was less expensive. I made an appointment for the female and caught her and also brought the less aggressive of the two males (company for her), took them to her appointment and after talking to the receptionist, asked if they could possibly fit him in too. Mainly because his procedure was simpler (and they are all such incredibly nice people), they fit him in! All of the staff are very caring and wonderful! Both kittens have tamed down remarkably and are now still together and doing well in a new home. I still have a barn cat (intact) . . . very friendly as long as it's on his own terms! I am so grateful to the staff at MFPD for their care, efficiency and kindness! -

Dr. Fitzpatrick was amazing. I give her a 5 plus rating. Her assistant was great too, so, while I…read moreloved the doctor, the receptionist there was horrible. She tried to charge me over almost 2 times the amount I was quoted when making the appointment and then was extremely nasty about it. The blond at this reception desk on 6-12-26 @ 4:20 was rude, disrespectful. immature, unprofessional and was completely void of any customer service skills and business ethics. I finally told her to stop getting smart with me and she said. "You did it first!" She believed because they gave me wrong information this was just miscommunication and I should be responsible for paying 3 times the amount quoted for the visit. She reminded me of a 12 year old without any common sense, who was just caught in a lie that she figured she could bully her way out of. I suspect she could have been the one that gave me the wrong information on the phone. I won't be subjected myself to that type of bratty behavior when there are other options. Before booking this appointment I called around and they were a little cheaper, but obviously it was just a bait and switch situation to get you in the door. I usually give my own vaccines but after being quoted a lower price for the exams that included getting the vaccinations during the visit, I went with the lower price that included vaccines despite having vaccines in my refrigerator. when I booked the appointment I confirmed with the person that I was understanding it correctly no less than 2 times because it did not make sense to me. Well, it turns out it's because she had it wrong and then they want the customer to pay for their mistake, If I get a full and sincere apology and this is made right, I am happy to remove this review. What I would really like to see is the employees take a course on business ethics. I'm just shocked that they didn't not care about customer service.
