From the moment I walked in with her, to leaving her for the actual surgery I felt at ease with all the staff and doctors. They kept me updated every day with her recovery. The reason for 4 stars is the second night after I brought her back home I did have to rush her back because she was having symptoms of what I thought was sepsis and the night shift staff were not as helpful or kind as the day shift. During that visit my fiancé and I waited over 7 hours to finally speak to someone about her, we didn't even know if she was okay for hours and we didn't even get to go to the hotel we booked over night as we initially arrived to the ER around 1:30am. Other than that the surgery and recovery did go extremely well. She's like a brand new kitty. Hopefully we bought her another 15 years. As far as pricing I will be extremely transparent. I was originally quoted 4-6k but then after an ultrasound they saw something that would require a little more effort so then that went up to 6-8k. After I got her back the first time it was 7200$ and then the second visit was $500. I have no regrets. Thank you.

I had a deeply disturbing experience with Dr. Tassala Djennadi…read more I came in asking for a sterile needle to administer subcutaneous fluids to my cat, who has late-stage kidney disease and requires daily care to stay alive. Because I had been out of town, he had already gone over 48 hours without fluids. This is not optional care..it is essential. Without asking a single follow-up question about his condition or how long he had gone without treatment, she told me she couldn't provide a needle and that he could "wait another day." When I explained that he had already missed over two days of fluids and that I was concerned, she told me that if it were a "real emergency," I would have planned better. Let that sink in: a veterinarian told me that my cat missing multiple days of medically necessary fluids was not an emergency because of my "planning." There was zero compassion, no attempt to help, no alternatives offered, and no concern for the animal. I was standing there holding his prescribed subcutaneous fluid bag with his name and information clearly labeled and even offered to provide his SOAP note, yet instead of helping, she, in an obviously mockiny and unhelpful way, suggested I could always spend $200 for needles if I were to bring my cat in for a full exam just to be entered into their system before they would sell me needles, fully aware that this wasn't possible that night. I told her plainly that my only options were to go home and attempt to reuse an old needle or have her help my cat who urgently needed fluids, and she still refused. I was ultimately turned away and left in the unacceptable position of having to consider reusing an old needle just to care for my cat.

Disturbing when we learned that this vets office had so called "technicians" that acted like…read moreunprofessional dingbats who knew NOTHING about our dog but wanted to feel important so they tried to act like they knew more about OUR own dog than we do and terrified him. Last month I took one of our dogs here for his annual shots and I liked the vet, whose name I believe was Melissa White. I didn't really have to deal with any vet "tech" that day. We have another dog that is anxious when anyone tries to trim his nails so I talked to Melissa about bringing him there to have his nails trimmed. She suggested we bring him in JUST FOR THAT since he'd just had his shots updated by another vet. I had made an appointment for him to get his nails trimmed a few weeks ago at 8 am and my husband had to deal with one of their vet "techs" who was a very unprofessional female, acted really nasty, obnoxious, and was actually looking for a PHYSICAL fight with my husband! We had gotten there about 10 minutes before our appointment time and I went in alone to tell the receptionist we were there but my husband would stay in my truck with our dog until they were ready for him since he would be very anxious when he came in and couldn't wait inside. The receptionist told me they were ready for him and my husband should bring him in. My husband brought our dog in while I waited outside in my truck with our other dog. My husband was brought into an examination room and a vet "tech" came in and wanted to do an "examination" so likely they could charge us for more than just a nail trim. My husband told her he had heard me on the phone make the appointment for ONLY for a nail trim, and the vet we used to take our dog to told us that they had sent all of his medical records to them, which one of the "techs" denied. My husband also told her we'd had our dog for 10 years and he tried to tell her exactly how his nails needed to be trimmed so he wouldn't go wild. She acted like she knew everything and didn't want to hear what he had to say. She then kept coming in and out of the room, making him wait and become more anxious, then my husband said she came in, grabbed our dog's paw, squeezed it and clipped one nail. Our dog went wild. He jumped all over my husband, kept scratching him, and my husband had blood all over his arms from being scratched. The "tech" then wanted to take our dog away from my husband and "bring him into the back" and said we'd come too early and there weren't enough people to help! Bizarre since they told me they were ready for him and to come in! My husband then called me on the phone and said he wanted to leave because the "tech" had no sense. Of course she really did not have any sense since she just wanted to do what SHE wanted to do and not listen to my husband who knew way more about our dog than she could possibly know. Then a nasty tattooed and obnoxious "tech" came into the room after he told me on the phone that the other "tech" had no sense. She tried literally to start a physical fight with my husband! She obviously didn't care about our dog going crazy because of what the other "tech" did, or the fact that my husband's skin was bleeding everywhere. My husband asked to speak to the actual vet since our appointment verification said WE WOULD HAVE AN APPOINTMENT with a vet named "Courtney Sorenson", not a bunch of ignorant know it all "techs" who knew NOTHING. Obviously being informed that we had an appointment with an actual vet was a lie because the big, nasty, tatted up "tech" refused to let my husband speak to the vet. She then blocked the door so he couldn't leave, told him he wasn't allowed to criticize "her staff", which was BS since she wasn't a vet, just an obnoxious employee. She got in his face, and kept saying, "Come at me! Come at me!" My husband walked toward her and she stepped aside from the door and he left. When he came out to the parking lot I got out of my truck because she followed him out into the parking lot yelling like a lunatic saying that we were banned from that place and said our lives obviously sucked. I thought, wow, what a crazy lunatic she is if she thought we would ever, ever, come back to that place again! I would never trust a place like that with my dogs for hiring such an obnoxious nasty hag. As she stood there yelling my husband called her a fat tatted up moron, which she played out as true. Then she started yelling at me even though I hadn't had ANY contact with her at all. I told her to look at herself in the mirror, clearly it was obviously HER life that sucked. I then told her I would write a bad review and she said, "Go ahead!", so here it is! As an attorney I have dealt with deranged people my whole career, and I clearly I believe she is one of them and should never be around anyone's pets. She should probably just be flipping hamburgers at a fast food joint and have no contact with customers. Fortunately our lives ONLY suck when we meet lunatics like her!

The gal that checked me in was very nice and personable and I didn't have to wait that long before Taylor greeted me and took myself and Mimi (cat) back to the exam room. I made Taylor aware that Mimi was not a good patient due to a bad experience with a previous vet years ago. She's never gotten over it. Dr. Howard came in and was also made aware of how Mimi was abused and that she would be upset with anything that was done. Taylor and Dr. Howard were so respectful, patient and kind with Mimi. Mimi sensed that and although she still wasn't happy being there or them, she did very well. I also want to thank Kat assisting Taylor and Dr. Howard. She got what was needed in a timely manner & she has a great smile! A lot of credit to Dr. Howard on the best exam Mimi's ever had in 13 years! She was slow, gentle and very through. Prior to Mimi's rabies shot Taylor was sweet enough to get Mimi one of the tubes of what I call gravy. Mimi loves that. At first she was hesitant so I had Taylor put some in my hand and while Mimi was licking it up Dr. Howard gently gave Mimi her shot. Normally Mimi would have jumped and loudly protested. She didn't do either one! She did hiss which is no big deal, but her normal rage didn't happen. For the first time ever while I was talking to the doctor and Mimi was still on the examination table she laid down. I took my hand off of her and she stayed on the table instead of jumping down and running to get into carrier. That told me volumes about how much more comfortable she'd become on her first visit. All animal lovers know how they can sense positive and negative situations. That was a stamp of approval from Mimi I've never seen ever in 13 years! Mimi & I are new to Gainesville and after reading the reviews on Town & Country I felt confident in taking Mimi there. I'm so thankful that I did.

They were so communicative and made an incredible effort to make my cat feel comfortable during his stay. He started out terrified and by the end of his stay, was cuddling the employees brave enough to enter his lair. These folks are true animal lovers - I know this because my cat can be a handful and they were kind enough to still give him a nice report card.

I've been bringing my cat to this Banfield location for over a year for his regular checkups and…read moreexams, and until recently, I trusted them with his care. However, my recent visit was extremely upsetting and disappointing. I brought my cat in on Thursday after noticing his stomach moving rapidly for about a week. The staff member who checked me in was polite, and since it was a drop-off appointment, I left my cat in their care. Later, I was called back in and met with Dr. Hudak, who seemed visibly distressed. She told me I needed to take my cat to an emergency hospital. When I asked what was wrong and if there was anything they could do at Banfield, she mentioned they could run an X-ray and bloodwork for about $300. I asked if there was any way to get the bill handled differently or set up a payment option, and her exact response was: "If you're having money issues, then it's best to put your pet to sleep." Hearing that made me panic and break down -- I was in shock. There was no empathy or compassion in how it was said, and it felt like my pet's life only mattered if I could pay upfront. After doing the X-ray, they told me to go immediately to the emergency hospital. I paid $387 before leaving, but when I asked for printed records to bring to the ER, they refused, saying I just needed to go. I felt completely dismissed and unheard during one of the scariest moments for my cat and me. This experience left me heartbroken and deeply disappointed. I hope Banfield addresses how their staff communicate with pet owners in crisis, especially when emotions and fear are already so high. Compassion should always come first.

In the exam room, we first met with a sales lady who was hard core trying to sell us on an expensive wellness insurance plan for our cat. She said that the insurance plan, if we committed to buying it would save us a ton of money toward my cat's upcoming dental surgery, it would cover dental x-rays, bloodwork, office visits, etc etc. The only thing it wouldn't cover would be the actual extractions he needs. The estimate Banfield gave me for my cat to have extractions was inflated about three times the cost of an estimate I received recently at another vet plus they wanted me to pay for this ridiculous wellness plan ( it was supposed to save us a ton of money) on top of it. In summary, I left extremely disappointed, very frustrated and felt like I basically paid a $64 exam fee to listen to a high pressure sales pitch. I felt like all they cared about was money and not my poor cat at all. They did absolutely nothing for my cat who is in extreme pain and distress. They wasted my time completely and my poor cat got absolutely no resolution. We will be going elsewhere for his surgery.

Discharge paperwork and instructions are very clear. And they proactively send records to your regular vet. The whole experience was about two hours. Again, not unexpected for a same-day urgent visit. We were grateful. Usually the vet ERs are swamped.

We brought our 15-year-old terrier to Haile Plantation Animal Clinic on Monday, August 10, after he…read morebecame extremely sick, stopped eating, and began breathing very slowly. Because of how much he was suffering, we made the heartbreaking decision to have him euthanized. We paid for an individual cremation and were specifically told that his ashes would be returned the following Monday, August 17. Based on that information, we believed he would be picked up and handled promptly. When I followed up on August 20 to ask if we could pick up his ashes since we hadn't heard anything, I was shocked to be told that the crematorium had only picked him up on Monday, August 17. That means our dog Riley apparently remained at the clinic for an entire week before even being transported for cremation. We received no phone call, no update, and no explanation that there had been any delay. Had we been told that our dog was going to remain there for a week, we absolutely would have made other arrangements. I would have personally transported him to the crematorium rather than leave him there for that length of time. What makes this even more upsetting is that we paid specifically for an individual cremation because it was extremely important to us that we receive our dog's ashes back. After being given incorrect information about the timeline, I am now left questioning the entire process and simply hoping that the ashes eventually returned to us are actually his. I understand that veterinary clinics may refrigerate or freeze remains while awaiting cremation. That is not the issue. The issue is that we were told his ashes would be back on August 17, when he apparently had not even left the clinic until that day. There is a major difference. When someone has just lost a pet they have loved for 15 years, communication, honesty, and respectful handling of their remains should be treated with the utmost importance. This was already an incredibly painful experience for our family, and the way this was handled made it significantly worse. We are extremely disappointed and offended by the lack of communication and transparency surrounding our dog's final arrangements by this clinic. Not to mention, we'll have to wait an additional week for him to be able to be picked up if they can even deliver on that promise, at this point, I have very little faith.
