He passed on money for the dogs well being!!!!! I highly highly recommend and will def be going there from now on with all our families precious fuzzy babes!

I brought Charlie in because he was lethargic and not himself...... Dr Hamid diagnosed him with…read moresevere pancreatitis, diabetes, and high cholesterol. At that point, he should've told me that this was critical but he didn't. $1600 later, he sent him home with five meds insulin, & IV fluids.... He started going downhill almost immediately and every time I called them and told them literally I think Charlie is dying they acted like I was over exaggerating ....The instructions I got from them was sometimes it takes awhile - give him a teaspoon of food or give him fluids....After he died, I was told by the vet that if my husband hadn't been there, they would've been more honest about his condition. So because of that, my dog died a horrible death a little over a week later. I will never forgive them and I will never bring another animal to them.....

While most of our visits here had been positive our most recent visit has changed my mind…read morecompletely about this practice. Dr. Kindra did not communicate with us at all about pricing and misled us in the test that he would be providing for our dog. When I called the clinic to get some clarity about the difference between the two tests that were done on my dog the receptionist got off the phone with me and put the Vet on the phone only for him to get on and tell me that I was giving her a hard time. The bill was $300 which was a lot more than was anticipated. He then tried to use unnecessarily large medical vocabulary in what seemed like an attempt to confuse me. When I told him that the appointment had been made for something different than what was on the receipt he told me he was trying to save me money. That's all well and good but it should've been communicated before the test was even done. The receptionist then got on the phone again and told me I owed an additional $50 for the test that I had originally wanted. I had clearly made the call because financially, $300 was Way out of our price range for what we were looking for. To consider the solution to this problem, charging me additional money lacked any empathy. There is a certain level of respect and decorum that you should have when working directly with people; especially people who are in difficult financial situations, trying to make sure that their pet stays healthy. The lack of respect that these people had for me this evening while simply trying to figure out what blood test my dog had and why she had it is not acceptable. Update: we got our test results 2 days later, though we were told they would be ready next day. The passive aggressive voicemail stated that my "back and forth" with which test I wanted caused the delay. Asked for the medical records and see that the results were, in fact, ready the night the test was done and was reviewed 8am the next day. An outright lie to try to blame me for his tardiness in calling with results. While I know Dr. Kindra has many positive reviews, and by our account he was good with our dog, the games he's played with this situation have been the most unprofessional behavior I've seen from a veterinarian.

I am beyond grateful to Dr. Alison Baker, Vet Tech Colette, Vet Tech Sarah, and their front desk…read morestaff, made up of three of the most amazing receptionists EVER--April, Christine, and Colleen--as well as the dedicated team behind the scenes at Cary Grove Animal Hospital. Their exceptional care for my beloved dog, Sparky, has been nothing short of a miracle. The journey started on 8/5 with a minor IVDD flare-up that was being treated with medications and laser therapy. But things took a critical turn on Sunday, August 10, when Sparky experienced severe gastrointestinal complications after being prescribed medication for his IVDD on 8/5. This led to a terrifying episode of gastrointestinal bleeding (HGE), low blood pressure, very low sodium and calcium levels, and severe dehydration, necessitating hospitalization for IV fluids and multiple tests. After spending $1,144.00 at Thrive Emergency Vet the previous night, I found myself financially unable to continue the care he desperately needed. Reluctantly, I brought him home against medical advice, knowing he may not make it through the night. But I prayed my heart out and hoped that if he could live through the night, Dr. Baker could save him because he required at least one or two days of intensive care and monitoring. Despite the dire situation, Sparky showed incredible grit and an amazing will to live. I reached out to Christine at Cary Grove first thing Monday morning to explain his condition and how critical he was, and was met with immediate reassurance. She said, "Hold on one moment, let me tell Dr. Baker." Just two minutes later, she returned with the urgency I needed, exclaiming, "Come NOW!" When I arrived, I was greeted by the warm smiles of Christine and April, as well as that of Tech Sarah, eagerly waiting for her "munchkin." Dr. Baker quickly assessed Sparky and meticulously reviewed his records from Thrive, formulating a comprehensive treatment plan and immediately getting to work. The staff treated him throughout Monday with fluids, antibiotics, pain medications, and antiemetics. I picked him up that night to bring him back the next day for continued care. Throughout this entire process, the team made Sparky feel as if he were at home. They allowed him to snuggle into every available blanket they had because "he's needy" and even cozy up in laps for some well-deserved rocking, soothing, and spoiling. Their compassion extended beyond physical care; they kept me at ease with frequent updates, let me cry (like Lucy), and patiently answered every single question I had--believe me, there were a lot! I am thrilled to share that Mr. Sparky is now well on his way to recovery! It's going to be a long and arduous journey, but with Cary Grove Animal Hospital by our side, there is no mountain I am not willing to face--except for one; and thanks to Dr. Baker's quick action, we won't have to address that dark day anytime soon! The dedication and love from everyone at Cary Grove astonished not only me but also the charitable foundations I consulted to help with Sparky's care. Having worked with numerous veterinary offices, these organizations were blown away by the incredible level of care and compassion that Cary Grove provides. If you are looking for a veterinary team that not only excels in expertise but also embodies genuine love for your pets, look no further than Cary Grove Animal Hospital. They have set the standard for what veterinary care should be, and I will always stand by this remarkable team. Thank you, Cary Grove, for everything! You are truly a blessing to our community!

It is so helpful to have someone you can ask questions of, to reassure and comfort you at a fraught and emotional time. Every criteria we had was met and exceeded: we wanted Maggie to feel no fear, to have unhurried time with her, to have a clear understanding of what was going to happen, to say goodbye on our terms. Maggie simply and immediately accepted Dr. Kriner's presence, decided she welcomed pets and affection from this sweet person she had never met. The only focus was Maggie, to have her feel complete love surrounding her, to let her enjoy cheeseburgers and chocolate, pets, hugs, kisses, many words of love, to make certain she knew exactly how special she was and always would be and that we were grateful for her life with us. There is no avoiding how heartbreaking a time it is, but to have a precious fur baby handled with love, calmness, gentleness, respect and care is an enormous comfort. We are so profoundly grateful for Dr. Kriner. She returned Maggie's ashes to us with the same compassion with which Maggie left our home. We are unspeakably touched by every aspect of interaction with Dr. Jessica Kriner of Compassionate Heart.

I would rate this veterinary office with zero stars if possible. I brought my dog in for a skin…read moreexamination and was attended to by "Dr." Matthew Khorsand, who did not even examine my dog before prescribing a medication costing $184. Upon realizing I could not afford this amount and after finding the same prescription available at a lower cost elsewhere, I requested a paper prescription. To my surprise, I was informed that he could not provide a paper prescription until he confirmed the medication's effectiveness, which meant I was compelled to purchase it from their pharmacy. After 45 days, I would need to return for another visit to assess the medication's efficacy before receiving a paper prescription to fill elsewhere. After I left, my wife called the office only to be told that I had been rude during my visit, which was not the case; I had been apologetic about my inability to purchase the medication from them. When my wife spoke to the vet, he claimed he would have provided a paper prescription had I not left immediately upon mentioning I could find it cheaper elsewhere. He then stated that if I returned, the prescription would be available at the front desk, which closes at 4:30 PM. My mother kindly offered to retrieve the prescription, believing it would be waiting for us. However, upon her arrival, Dr. Khorsand insisted that she purchase the $184 medication from them first, reiterating that he needed to confirm its effectiveness before issuing a paper prescription. He also made disparaging remarks about my wife during their conversation. The entire experience was utterly frustrating. Previously, we had purchased costly medication from their pharmacy, yet there were no records of our dog, Cole, when we returned. I have never encountered a veterinary office that withholds prescriptions from clients unless they have purchased them directly. The doctor seemed more interested in arguing and asserting that we were rude than in providing professional care. While I must commend the front office staff for their kindness, Dr. Khorsand's conduct was unprofessional and indicative of someone whose compensation may be tied to the volume of prescriptions sold. If you have the option to choose another veterinary office, I strongly recommend considering it. I do not frequently leave negative reviews, but this experience was one I would not wish upon anyone. We paid over $300 for a consultation with Dr. Khorsand, who did not even examine my dog, and for medication that I could have obtained at our preferred pharmacy for half the cost. I will never return to this office and feel sorry for any future animals who may be under Dr. Khorsand's care.
