We brought our ten week old Cane Corso "Odin" into Samaritan Animal Hospital after noticing he was…read morelethargic and vomiting. The staff (McKenzie and Dr. Choi) took him in the back, found out his intestines had tangled and died off. Samaritans Animal Hospitals amazing staff took him in for emergency surgery on the spot and was an "ALL STAR" team for Odin's care. He came out of emergency surgery pointed in the right direction. Samaritan Animal Hospital advised us to take him to Animal Emergency Clinic where they had Odin for 3 days. He almost didn't make it, but due to the care of the staff at Samaritan Animal Hospital and the staff at Animal Emergency Clinic is the only reason our puppy made it through. We will be the first to say. We put all our hope into the Samaritan Animal Hospital and Animal Emergency Clinic, where they have done nothing less of being the best choice for our animals and we will not look elsewhere. After the surgery we had to give him another set of shots, after the completion of shots. Odin looked a little lethargic again. Took him into Animal Emergency clinic, where we were then notified of our puppy catching Parvo. Emergency Animal Clinic once again got right on top of it and got him cured up and a reasonable cost. Samaritan Animal Hospital then reached out to shot manufacturer and got us reimbursed for the cost of parvo care. Our puppy is now seven month old and weighing in at seventy-five pounds. We cannot give enough thanks to these people that helped us keep our Odin alive. The staff is amazing, hardworking, honest, and have the biggest hearts. Special thanks to: McKenzie Autumn Dr. Choi Dr. Pennington

Read carefully. It'll save you money and a damn headache…read more We took in our Belgian Malinois because his leg had swollen and he was no longer able to put weight on it. I paid $1200 for them to run labs and do numerous x-rays. They said they could not find a break or fracture and that he may have just sprained his leg. Sent him home with painkillers and joint snacks for arthritis prevention. His leg continued to swell overnight, I called in and they asked me to give it more time for the medication to begin to help. We waited another day, but he stopped eating and drinking water. He was extremely lethargic and his leg had swollen almost twice its size. We took him back in. They wanted to get more x-rays of his leg. Additional bloodwork. Another $1,200, and then I get a phone call that they noticed that there was a bite mark on his leg. They shaved his leg down and found that he had multiple bite marks on his leg and it had become infected. They had to cut his leg open on two sides, debride it and clean, and then install a drain on each side. Another $2000. They did it all within 30 minutes of them closing, and then they sent us over to the emergency clinic for overnight care. They never provided transfer paperwork, never contacted the emergency clinic. Just sent us on our way. We had no other option and again had to pay $2000 for the overnight care. In the morning, the overnight care stated that our dog needed to get evaluated because there were no signs of improvement and he was in excruciating pain. Asked us to send him back to Samaritan. Samaritan refused to see him! After spending almost $4,500, they refused to see him back. They are absolutely the worst! Not only did they miss what was actually wrong with our dog the first time around, they then refused to see him after they were the ones that provided the treatment. Thankfully, the emergency clinic called Apple Valley animal Hospital. Apple Valley animal Hospital took in our dog that very morning. They had him in for observation the rest of the day. They provided IV and antibiotics IV pain medication for our dog. Sent home additional medication to help him with the infection. They unfortunately had to do another drainage towards the bottom of his leg that Samaritan also missed. There were more cuts towards the bottom. Don't even go here if your pet needs help. They will just take your money and then refuse to actually care for your pet.

Not only did she helped my doggo feel better, but she called the next day to see how she was doing. I mean, what Doctor does that? I told her Frida was vomiting and she suggested a nausea shot. Since I don't have a car she considered coming to my home to administer the shot. Luckily, my daughter got home on time to take me and Frida to get her shot. But, not only did she get a shot, she got fed chicken, by Dr. Helena, which made me very happy because she hadn't eaten solid food in four days. Dr. Helena truly goes above and beyond for her patients and their humans. I highly recommend her services. Guadalupe Jimenez

I feel like I got robbed,I paid over $700 to get rid off my dog foxtail he had, he went in with an…read moreswollen, infected , and with multiple puncture wounds between his toes. On one if his legs, i have heard those can be very dangerous. I dont have luxury money to give away but for my pets ill find a way to get the money so they can be okay, well went in there they didnt find any foxtail on his leg but they did found one inside his ear. It was to close to eardrum and was irrated so they said they couldn't removed it because it was to irrated to do so. So anyways, i came back home gave me medication for infection and inflammation and pain. After 2 weeks of medication were over, his leg was still swollen, one of the pucture wound was still open, I send them pixtures of status of his leg and they never replied, I called back and made an appointment, they only gave a stronger dosage of antibiotics. After 4 days his leg got so swollen, to much pressure his swollen part pop, I called to let them know all they said was to soaked in warm water, 2 days later, I chexk on his leg to soak in warm water and i see like something that look likr hair in his wound, I was like how did, well I take a good close look and to my surprise it was a foxtail, I pulled it out completely. I called immediately, and complained to them that he did had a foxtail, and only for Amy or jammie, I think its the receptionist. To give me a sassy attitude about my complained already clearing off their mistake. My dog still injured and uncomfortable. If I knew I was gonna wait this long to make him feel better I wouldn't never paid $700. He began feeling uncomfortable in the beginning of April, his first visit was april 13. Almost a month. And he still has an infection, well now i know why. ..( foxtail inside the swollen part of his leg) Its not fair for our pets and us. For you guys to give a maybe diagnostic. I was told he didnt had any beside ONE on his ear. If they wouldn't said there was a lightly chance he still had one on his leg then they should've gave me stronger medication since the beginning instead of make me pay again for another check up and another medication again. I really thought, I could trust this clinic, I always go base on the ratings. I guess rating dont matter. Horrible diagnostic and horrible customer service after you have a complain.
