My 3.5yr-old pup had a stretched ACL. I wanted to make sure she got the care she needed. I had to…read morechoose between AMC Hattiesburg and Bienville. And I am so thankful I went with my gut and came to Bienville. When looking for a veterinarian, I have a couple of things on my checklist. Dr. Church came into the evaluation room and immediately greeted myself and Maze. Maze can get a little rambunctious, even with her injury, and he did not mind one bit. Furthermore, he explained in great detail my surgical options for Maze. He explained his recommendations, the reasoning behind his recommendations, and what my options were if I opted for the surgery they personally don't perform. I didn't feel trapped, guilted into scheduling, or like he was after a payout as opposed to doing the work for the love of animals. AMC Hattiesburg, on the other hand, considered a 5-minute call as a consultation. No information on what would be done, it felt rushed, and I felt pressured to give an answer immediately regarding scheduling. They're overpriced. I was given an initial quote by my own vet as to what to expect for this type of procedure. Hattiesburg had the gall to try and overcharge and act as if that was okay and normal. I will pay absolutely anything to get my pets the care they need. They are my children. But I will never allow someone to price gouge me because they know I'll ultimately pay anything over potentially further harming my pet or losing them altogether. Dr. Church at Bienville is kind, he has a warm and trustworthy aura that you can feel the second he walks into the room. I had a few hesitations after reading a few reviews, but I've met the people out here. A lot of them can be unreasonable and looking for a problem to give a negative review. I decided to come with zero expectations, and I'm so glad that I did. Maze's surgery went well, she stayed overnight to be monitored and started on her med plan. She is now home, and acting like she didn't just have surgery. The medications given for her recovery are extremely helpful in getting her to settle down, and I recognize a few of them, so I wasn't concerned with what exactly she was prescribed. The price was in the same ballpark as what I was told to expect from my current Vet. I had my toddler with me and the staff was kind and understanding even though she was having a bit of a personality crisis in the middle of the lobby. Overall, I just felt positive about the whole experience. When you're putting your family member's life in someone else's hands, you cannot be too careful of who you're trusting. And I now know, I can trust and count on Dr. Church and Bienville. I cannot express my gratitude enough, please keep doing the good work, loving the animals that come to you, and stay true to yourselves! Pre-surgery puppy picture tax included !

This experience was beyond unacceptable--it was alarming. If you are considering bringing your puppy here for ear posting, please think again!! We looked this place up online, after being referred. This is the last place I would trust--not even for a stray animal I would allow to have service here! What I saw looked like a beginner craft project done by a toddler, not a professional veterinary procedure. The backer rod wasn't secured properly, the top of the ear tip was left unsupported, and the so-called "bridge" was nothing more than a flimsy strip of tape. It was completely inadequate. After leaving, my husband sent me photos from outside, and I genuinely thought he was joking--thinking he had done the posting 'before' the appointment, showing me he tried...He hadn't. This was the doctor's work!!! I immediately called to express my concerns, the receptionist dismissed me, saying people travel from all over the U.S. and that this is how they've "always" done it. That is not reassuring--it's deeply concerning people accept & trust such crappy doing. When the doctor got on the phone, things only got worse. I explained that the posting was already leaning, and her response was that my husband might need to add more tape himself. That is unacceptable and horrible! We came to professionals for proper care--not to fix their work afterward. When I asked why the ear tip wasn't secured correctly, she interrupted me and told me if I could "be quiet" and listen. WHAT!!! That level of disrespect is shocking and will not be tolerated by me. Instead of listening, she became defensive and dismissive. To make matters even more disturbing, she suggested my husband to cut part of my puppy's ears because they were "too long"--despite the fact that they are the long crop by design. Seriously??? That suggestion alone is completely inappropriate and alarming! This was our first and last visit. We were soooo busy with business meetings, and no time to drive to NOLA. We will go out of our way--no matter how far or inconvenient--to seek care. CLEARLY, this place isn't it! I'm concerned that people who go here and receive this type of work think it's "professional" and "good work"!? Maybe that just don't know or have experience REALLY professional vet work/care. Please take this as a serious warning: keep your pets far away from this place! After our meeting we stopped at a park to REDO the posting ourself!!! See the pics posted of what the "Dr." did (awful), and the posting we completed in a nearby park, at a bench! because Again - he "attempted posting was absolutely HORRIBLE and making my baby's ears WORSE & FOLDED over his hear!

I took my pup to Beatline Oaks for his yearly checkup today; really, it had only been six months…read moresince his last exam, but he was due for two vaccines and I had just exhausted his supply of heartworm medication. His previous medical had been handled by a different vet before I moved across state lines, so I made sure to get his full records from them, and brought them to his appointment. When I arrived, they weighed my pup, then took us to the exam room where I could fill out paperwork. I handed the nurse his records (including very clear shot records) and set about filling things out. After a bit, one of the nurses came in to say that my dog had never received the canine influenza vaccine, and asked if I wanted to get that today with a follow-up in three weeks. I was uncertain about her request (it seemed off) and declined for the time being. When they brought back his paperwork, I looked through it again, and pointed out that he had definitely received a shot for CIV previously, at which point the nurse ran off with the paperwork again. When she came back in, it was for the physical examination with the doctor (who seemed nice enough), and by the time the paperwork was brought back, I was already helping to soothe my pup, so it was placed off to the side and temporarily forgotten. They brought in the vaccines, said which was which, and as I was a bit focused on my dog, I didn't fully notice when they said they were giving him a rabies vaccination. You see, in the medical paperwork, it clearly stated that he received the 3 year rabies vaccination within the last year, and when I got home and reviewed the new paperwork, it said they gave him a new 1 year vacc. I freaked out a bit and did some research, leading me to find that there's not actually a difference in the formula or dosage, simply in the label on the bottle itself, so there was no actual risk, but I was terrified for a bit that he had been given too much. Speaking of research! While I was there, they strongly recommended ProHeart 6 to me. I asked the differences between that and his usual (HeartGard), and they said the only differences are that you only have to get it once every six months, and it's the same cost and totally easier! I declined for the time being, as I knew nothing about it, and they handed me a pamphlet to read. The pamphlet included a list of potential side effects, which I commented on. They assured me the only side effects are rare allergic reactions and it's definitely nothing to worry about. After I finished researching the rabies vacc (while at home), I decided to look into ProHeart 6. The first few articles I found were about how it was taken off the market in 2004 due to a large number of canine deaths from it. It was rereleased with strict requirements in 2008 - a certified vet had to administer the dose, an "informed consent" waiver had to be signed, and it was generally advised not to administer it alongside other vaccinations at the risk of severe adverse reactions. All of this would have been nice to know when it was offered, or at least when I directly asked. While nothing terrible happened today, I did still pay for an unnecessary vaccination, and if I were a bit more trusting, I might have put my dog in a potentially dangerous health situation. It's safe to say that I will absolutely not return to Beatline Oaks.
