I brought my two senior cats in for bloodwork and an exam. One cat was then diagnosed with…read morehyperthyroidism and put on meds when the bloodwork showed an elevated thyroid level. I then received a call that the bloodwork "may have been mixed up" so bring my one cat back in for a free retest. This test indicated a low thyroid level and was significantly different from the first test with an elevated level. Instead of a vet looking at the 2 bloodtests and seeing they were so different and most likely not my cats bloodwork . I'm contacted by the vet techs and told to continue on the thyroid meds. One vet tech was not aware there was a blood test mix up and one told me when I asked why it seemed like the 2nd test was so different that it was not my cats bloodwork answered me by saying" That's a good question". Then I wonder was my other senior cat bloodtest mixed up as they were done at the same time? Meanwhile I spent $100 on thyroid meds and $520.38 on bloodwork and I still dont know if my cat has hyperthyroidism. because the new bloodwork does not show it. I was offered after complaining another free retest after taking my cats off the meds but honestly I have a very stressed old cat who has already been in for 3 blood tests and a vets office that I'm dealing with techs not the vet. I plan on going elsewhere where I can deal with a vet that can call me, and actually take the time to look at the bloodwork

Dr Landgraf's unprofessional behavior does not speak well to Shaker.

Wow. Please seek other veterinary care for your pets. I…read morebrought my cat to this practice for years after adopting her because I was told Dr. Towery was an excellent veterinarian. I wanted to ensure she received the best possible care, so I never hesitated to ask questions, voice concerns, and follow through with recommended visits. Every appointment cost hundreds of dollars, rarely less than $400 and I trusted that investment meant my cat was receiving thorough, attentive care. I eventually switched to another veterinary practice because I felt my concerns were repeatedly being dismissed. Thank goodness I did. My new veterinarian discovered that my cat had a serious condition that had been developing over the course of several years, the same years she was under VCA's care while attending annual wellness exams. The most heartbreaking part is that this was ultimately the condition that took her life. What makes that even harder to accept is that there were visible signs my new veterinarian recognized and investigated immediately. These were concerns I had been bringing up since 2022, yet they were repeatedly brushed off instead of being properly addressed. Pet owners trust veterinary professionals with members of their family. We rely on your expertise because our pets cannot advocate for themselves. I did everything I was supposed to do by bringing my cat in regularly, asking questions, following recommendations, and raising concerns. My cat deserved better, and I hope no other family has to experience the heartbreak of learning that years of warning signs and repeated concerns went unaddressed.

We had to wait an hour or two to get a call back after leaving a voicemail, but once our call was returned, we were able to get a visit that day. What was an incredibly stressful time was made easier by the gentle guiding and kindness of Dr. Diaz. He was wonderful and it made the heartbreaking loss of our little buddy easier to take. After having experienced previous losses with a traditional visit to a vet, this was so much more easy for a cat and us, allowing our cat to avoid the stress of travel to the vet, and allowing us to grieve in the privacy of our own home during the process. Thanks you In the Comfort of Home.

She had a scheduled euthanasia visit for her dog tomorrow at 11:00AM. They called and told her this afternoon that they couldn't come tomorrow.

And THEN it's going to cost you more because THEY reschedule it? This is just wrong on a lot of levels. I won't be using them again for any of our dogs, and I can no longer recommend.

Dr. Virginia and Dr. Jarvis were always great with Lexi. The staff is very friendly and caring. The building is also very clean considering it's been open since 1922. If you ever decide to euthanize your pet, I highly recommend doing it here. After your pet is at peace, the staff gives you as much time as you need to grieve as you want. They are also very respectful during this process, too. I highly recommend this vet. Shout out to Albany County Veterinary hospital!

Every time I've had to take her to the vet, the following ensued (in no particular order): Biting Screaming Scratching Hissing Violent gyrations to get away Spitting (yes, spitting) Bloodletting And that was just to get her into her crate and in the car. She would have to be sedated to be examined and groomed. It was traumatic for her, for us, and I presume the vet techs. Dr. Nolan and Christine came to the house, they sedated her while she was relaxed and snoozing---they worked quickly, compassionately and thoroughly and they were FAR LESS EXPENSIVE than the previous vet. I can't say enough positive things about them. For as long as we have Ginger, we'll be a client. They are busy though, so plan on approximately 30 days or so to get an appointment. Well worth it.
