    Andy R.

    We've been coming here for years, and it's always been exceptional. We had to say goodbye to our beloved Ridgeback, Luther last week. Although we saw it coming and thought we were ready, we were not. It seemed like every single employee stopped what they were doing and did everything they could to make sure we were ok and make Luther comfortable. I'll never forget the way Dr. Andrew and the unbelievable staff treated us that day. These are amazing people.

    Beware.... Extremely poor customer service and rude front desk personnel. Go elsewhere if you care about how you and your pets are treated.

    Our pets have received the best care from MVH, including compassionate end of life care for our…read moreaging pets. We usually see Dr Linda, but the entire staff is great. We live in Olympia, but drive to Tacoma because we feel like MVH provides the best care for our furry family members.

    I am sorry to have to reveal the downside of this vet practice, but it must be done…read more In 4 years I saw all but one of the vets, and the turnover was high. Although Dr. Oden gave my IRWS very good care, when she moved on I was flipped to the senior vet, then to a spanking new vet who had graduated just a few months before. On this occasion, my dog waited 25 minutes for the tech in a claustrophobic room without a mat or rug (new doc didn't like the mat and had removed it, I was told). The tech mentioned she had been helping a colleague clip nails and lost track of time. It wasn't an apology for her tardiness, just an aside. The 20ish vet came in masked, and when I went to shake his hand he told me he was sick. Since I am immuno-compromised, this was not a great start. After telling me my dog's heart and lungs sounded great, and her teeth were gorgeous, he lectured me about her weight (appropriate and some good info). He then began explaining how to handle geriatric dogs. I listen for a minute, confused, before saying, "She is 4." He said he had mixed her up with his previous patient. She was lightly sedated for the appointment as previous vets had recommended (anxiety!) but she was right in front of him, is AKC, and her g-g-grand father was a contestant at Westminster--in no way does she look grey, stiff, or snaggle-toothed. I then brought up anxiety medicines. I wanted a change due to tremors and stomach issues in reaction to fluoxetine. Doc was stumped. He did not know of another anti-anxiety med. He suggested the brand-name version of the same medicine. I said her reactions indicated we need to try another entire family of meds and suggested a couple my VetMD search had turned up. He said he would do some research and email me. This is bread-and-butter veterinary care for a city-vet in the 21c, but after all, he was new. He did email a couple of days later, and suggested the only other dog-approved anxiety med (lots of human drugs are used off-label) with a very long taper, due to concerns about life-threatening "serotonin syndrome." In this he was confused. Serotonin syndrome is a reaction to too much serotonin-increasing medication (such as a dose increase), not abrupt withdrawal. Abrupt withdrawal is not as serious, though uncomfortable (brain zaps), and is called "discontinuation syndrome." I did not correct him (I regret that), but told him I was familiar with serotonin syndrome and wouldn't risk my dog's health. Ignoring my statement that the tablets were scored and easy to cut, he called in unneeded smaller mg tablets of her original medication not once, but twice. I cancelled them. Since the dog was already getting her med only 40% of the time, and I am a VERY experienced dog owner AND married to a psychiatrist, I was able to write him sooner than he anticipated (three weeks) to say she was almost weaned off it and since I was doing my monthly Costco run the next weekend, it would be convenient if the med were called in so I could pick it up then. This sparked an ANGRY email from him berating me for endangering my dog. I am guessing he has never gone off an antidepressant personally; his five week taper might (?) have been textbook, but not necessary in this case. She had been carefully monitored and had had no negative symptoms. We were switching to a med in another class, so doubling up serotonin wasn't a concern. Nevertheless, he said he would NOT prescribe until the previously specified date 2 weeks on. I wrote very politely and said that that would be fine. It would be ok for her to wait, then I could see if she had out-grown the issues. Only he did NOT call it in. My dog spent a miserable Christmas month full of separation anxiety, reactiveness to other dogs and visitors, and fear during New Year fireworks. Two months after my visit on October 30, I returned to Chambers Creek, a clinic that I had used years ago for previous dogs, which incidentally charged 50% less for a visit. Not until this clinic had requested my current dog's records did Met Vet call-in the new medication to Costco. This was a horrible and avoidable experience for my dog. Over and over this new vet displayed his own lack of knowledge and experience and his lack of respect for me, my knowledge and experience, and my ability to care for my pet. Worst of all, he did not follow through on his promise to prescribe in a timely manner. As a result my dog was left unmedicated during the most stressful month of the year. This inexperienced doctor needs to be overseen carefully by senior doctors. Clearly, this oversight is missing. I am concerned for dogs who go to him for ordinary medical concerns, such as separation anxiety.
