Everytime we went it cost us more and more money the price always changed . I just recently went to get my dogs meds and the price changed yet again and ever time I question it they get defensive. I was last there was n Feb got her thyroid check and her pills it was 115.00 went this last time they charged me the same price 115.00 this time no thyroid check so when I questioned it they said the price changed in Jan so I advised them that's what they charged me the last time and I paid for her thyroid check as well . They had no answer this is why I'm so sick of them and this is just one example. So I have had enough and found what I hope to be a better vet . Not sure how they can keep getting 5 * I guess they cather to the rich only.

The staff is un compassionate and sometimes rude. I've been going there for 10+ years and had an emergency today and got turned away saying no time. We'll does it not say urgent care?

UPDATE: Dr. Mortenson has reached out and addressed all of our concerns. He was gracious and…read moreapologetic and has provided a very satisfactory resolution to our complaints. Kudos Dr. Mortenson! $2,000+ to have a dog's teeth cleaned!? Let me clarify that this dog is only four years old and had her teeth cleaned by our old vet only 14 months ago, also under anesthetic. She had one molar excised at that time. The cost was $362.00. Today we went to pick up our Pomeranian and were presented with a bill for $2,077.00 for cleaning and 4 extractions. (Two of which were questionable) We were told we would receive an email with a quote. We never did. When we dropped off the dog this morning the intake person asked a series of questions while she made note of the responses herself, and asked my husband to sign. At no time was the cost ever discussed. Communication is appalling. We are seniors on a pension and this is quite devastating. I might also note that I am not in the habit of giving bad reviews.

Unlike other vets we tried, they didn't try to make us run every test and seems to walk the right line between doing what is right for the dogs health without inflating the bill. The front office is super competent and helpful. They answer the phone and where available to see our pet immediately. They seem to be much more competent than the other vet offices we have been to. Hammond Bay Animal Hospital is top notch.
