Paso Robles Veterinary Medical Clinic

Title: Severe Safety Oversight and Ethical Concerns I am…read morereposting my review of this clinic to alert other pet owners of a serious medical safety issue. I brought my dog in for gagging, and despite me asking for a refill of his seizure medication during the visit, the vet prescribed a new drug where seizures are a known side effect. My dog suffered three grand mal seizures as a result of this oversight. The Medical Failures: * Initial Misdiagnosis: During the visit, I was told everything was fine. Two hours later, the vet called to say the radiologist actually found a heart murmur, a gallstone, and tracheal issues. * Lack of Urgency: It took eight days for the hospital manager to return my calls regarding these life-threatening errors. The NDA Offer: When the clinic finally responded, they offered a full refund--but only on the condition that I sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and delete my negative review. I have declined their offer because the safety of other animals is more important than a refund. Please be extremely cautious and double-check any medications prescribed here, especially if your pet has a pre-existing condition like epilepsy.

We were visiting the area for a few weeks and we brought our dog. About a month before coming, our…read moredog had been in an emergency clinic for a calcified stone that was stuck in her ureter and it had been removed. Our dog had finished her medications and seemed ok before we left, but once we arrived at our rental she started having issues again. She seemed to be in discomfort and was unable to urinate. We contacted the emergency vet we had taken her to originally and they said they would get back to us but by morning, no vet had called so we called again and then started looking for a vet in the area we were staying for an urgent appointment. We called the three closest vets in this area and this clinic was the only one who had any availability. They said they could see us the following day so we scheduled the appointment. Afterwards, the original vet got back to us and ordered some prescriptions for our dog which we were able to pick up locally and get started. Unfortunately, late that afternoon, our dog started bleeding from her urethra. We then contacted the closest emergency vet and they said they were currently overwhelmed and due to their distance, actually suggested we wait for our morning appointment. It was agonizing! We left early for the appointment at this clinic but still barely made it on time as it was not easy to find. It is in a residential neighborhood and it was not in the exact location our navigation system was giving us but we did eventually locate it. The facility was nice and clean and staff was very friendly. We were brought back into a room after only a few minutes of waiting and there seemed to be only one or two other patients there. We explained the situation to what I believe was a vet tech and about 5 minutes later the vet came in and we explained it to her again. She immediately stated our dog needed emergency surgery and that they could schedule it fortwo days later. We knew it was urgent and we would have to take care of it immediately. I just had a bit of a concern because no one ever looked at our dog or examined her in any way. I just did not feel particularly comfortable with the situation so I asked for an estimate to do the surgery and they provided us with an estimate of $3,428.77. Our dog is 12 and has had battled cancer and had multiple surgeries, dental work, etc, so I am familiar with estimates and it was odd to me that both the low and high total showed that same figure. That's not usually how it works. Based on the fact that no one actually looked at our dog, that estimate seemed high (even for an emergency) and the fact that they pushed for a surgery and had immediate availability, it all just felt a little odd and we went with our gut. We decided that even though we had paid thousands for a beautiful rental with a pool for the next few weeks that we should head home immediately to have our own vet do the surgery. We drove all night and brought her to our vet the following morning. They made space for us in their full day of appointments and examined our dog thoroughly. They then did an ultrasound with us present. They showed us the issue and said they would try and squeeze her into the surgery schedule the following morning. They completed the surgery for $1278.32. To be fair, they gave us a discount of $294 so in all honesty someone else having it done there would have spent closer to $1572 but that is still less than half the price and more importantly we felt seen and comfortable with the way they handled things. It's possible that this facility just has a lot of availability and they felt they didn't need to examine the dog. Its also possible that they rushed the estimate and just put the same total for the high and low amounts. As I said, the staff was nice enough but I am glad we chose lose out on the rental and have it done where we felt more comfortable. If you include the money we lost by leaving, it actually cost us more to go home and get it done but you have to trust your intuition and I am so glad we did.
