    Blacksburg Animal Clinic - This is a transcript of how hateful DR Watson was with me. I'm on disability and refused to give my service dog her meds.

    Can't believe this place has no reviews! Dr. Jones has owned this practice for over 30 years. The…read moredecor is kind of old country style with a lot of wood and everything is very VTech and football themed. The front staff was friendly. It only took about 10 minutes to fill out the new patient form and once brought back to an appointment room Dr. Jones came in quickly. Dr. Jones himself is very nice. He cares about not only the pets but their owners as well. He's also friendly and likes to talk a lot. The bill was around $60 for some eye drops and a consultation, which isn't the cheapest ever, but nothing outrageous.

    This new owner is very hateful. He has seen my service dog for over a year. Since he took…read moreownership, he said I was rude to the staff and argued over 80 cents. He also stated I'd have to go see another vet. This is all slandering and untrue. I was short 80 cents and was going to go to my car to get the 80 cents, but a wonderful staff member said she would take care of it. This Dr denied my prescription for my service dog because he said I was looking for a new clinic. Why in the world would I look for a new clinic until he denied me the prescription for my service dog. Yes, I said I would have to look for someone else if he refused to fill any medication for my service dog. I did have to take her to Mountain View Humane to get her spayed due to my disability and lack of income. I thought at one time Blacksburg Animal Clinic was the best! This is not the case after DR Watson bought the clinic. He actually spoke with me on the phone as well and was very hateful and domineering. I tried to explain and he said he would send my medical records to whoever I wanted, then blocked my number as I only had a few hours to choose a new vet. I then emailed him to try to explain because he wouldn't give me a chance to speak on the phone when he called back. I said I'd have no choice to report him to the state board and DCA. He just gave me a hateful answer and then proceeded to tell me to do as I see fit. It's like he doesn't care! Who wants a vet like this?

    I brought my dog in to be evaluated for vomiting and clearly informed Dr. Matt McCormick that my…read moredog is reactive. I requested and placed a muzzle before the exam began. During the physical exam, instead of asking me to assist with restraint, which has worked well with other veterinarians, Dr. McCormick began pinning my dog firmly against the exam table in an attempt to control him. My dog became extremely distressed and ultimately urinated and defecated during the restraint. The level of force used felt excessive given that his anxiety and reactivity had been clearly communicated. I had to intervene and remove my dog from the situation. I understand that reactive dogs can be challenging to examine, but I expected a more collaborative and low-stress approach. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to this clinic.

    They did not acknowledge my concerns about my pup. They insulted me by saying that her symptoms…read moremust be caused by her food (which they don't sell) or my well water (which tests clean) or Lyme (which was not warranted). I was told to change her food and come back in two weeks. I went elsewhere and got a diagnosis of a serious disease which I had suspected all along. The new clinic listened to me and answered my questions. The correct tests were ordered, and I finally got treatment. The new clinic always provides written discharge notes. I had to call multiple times to get the test results from Companion. I felt like I was a bother - not a client. Dr Fabrizi there was the only one who did at least acknowledge the symptoms.

    I do not recommend this place…read more We went to Angels of Assisi because it was advertised online as a low cost, walk in style clinic for vaccinations and preventative care on Saturdays. All we needed was flea and tick prevention for my dog. What should have been a simple visit turned into nearly a 2 hour ordeal for something that ultimately took only a few minutes. The experience started off awkwardly from the moment we arrived. An employee walked up to the passenger side of our vehicle and just stood there without waving, introducing herself, or making it clear she was trying to get our attention. We were handed paperwork and informed that even though we were only there for flea and tick medication, an exam was required first. That requirement, along with the additional $30 exam fee, was never clearly disclosed online and came as a surprise. The biggest issue, however, was how they handled my Psychiatric Service Animal. I am a Retired U.S. Marine Veteran with both Combat and Humanitarian service, and my dog is not a pet. He is my Psychiatric Service Animal for PTSD. He is with me constantly because he performs an important role in my daily life. I explained this to staff and made it clear that I wanted to accompany him during his examination after waiting almost 2 hours to be seen. I was told no. When I asked why, I was told it was "policy." When I asked for a specific reason, nobody could provide one. I was referred to the manager sitting behind the front desk. I calmly explained that my dog is a Psychiatric Service Animal and asked why I was not allowed to accompany him during the examination. Her response was simply, "That's how we operate here." I then asked to see the written policy that supposedly prevented me from accompanying my own Service Animal. I was told there wasn't one. Instead, I was again told, "That's just how we operate." That answer was completely unacceptable. If you're going to separate a Disabled Veteran from his Psychiatric Service Animal, there should at least be a legitimate explanation and a written policy to support it! There was neither. What made it worse was the complete lack of compassion. When I explained that I am a Combat Veteran and that being separated from my Service Dog causes significant stress and frustration, the response was essentially, "I understand," followed by more indifference. There was no effort to address the concern, no attempt to accommodate the situation, no apology for the inconvenience, and no recognition whatsoever of why the issue mattered. I was not even given a simple "Thank you for your Service" by anyone during the entire visit. In all my years of owning dogs and taking them to veterinarians, I have never once been told that I could not accompany my dog during an examination, especially when that dog is a Psychiatric Service Animal and the staff have been informed of that fact. It felt less like a veterinary clinic and more like dealing with a bureaucracy where nonexistent policies matter more than people. Since I was already being required to pay for a $30 wellness exam, I also wanted the veterinarian to take a look at a few moles and a small fatty lump that have appeared as my dog has gotten older. Other veterinarians have previously examined these areas, but I wanted a second opinion to make the most of the exam I was being charged for. Instead of discussing those concerns directly with the veterinarian while I was present with my dog, I was expected to get down and point everything out in the waiting area before he was taken away. As a Disabled Veteran with mobility limitations, having to do that on the floor in front of other clients felt both awkward and unnecessary. A private conversation with the veterinarian while remaining with my dog would have been far more professional and respectful. To be fair, the technician who handled my dog was polite, respectful, and professional. Unfortunately, that professionalism did not extend to management. After the exam, I even apologized for being frustrated because I was trying to remain respectful throughout the entire interaction. I never raised my voice, used profanity, or became disrespectful. Despite that, the response never changed. The attitude remained, "This is how we do things." By the end of the visit, we spent $180 for an exam and six months of flea and tick medication after waiting nearly two hours. For a clinic that advertises affordability, convenience, and community service, the entire experience felt disorganized, impersonal, and unnecessarily stressful. If you are a Military Veteran, have a Service Animal, value transparency, or simply expect compassion from the people caring for your pet, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. My dog deserved better, and frankly, so did I. SEMPER FIDELIS

    On Tuesday, April 4, 2023, I took my cat to the Main Street Veterinary Clinic because of my concern…read morethat he was having increasing difficulty eating and retaining food. Dr. Schindler examined him and concluded that the problem was likely his age (nearly 17 years old). She offered blood work to identify any problem(s). I stated that costly blood work would not be beneficial (given the cat's age) and because I did not want an intrusive intervention; I was solely interested in providing comfort, if possible. The doctor suggested Cerenia would calm the cat's stomach. I (mistakenly) agreed to purchase it. The doctor also informed me that the cat's next Rabies shot would be due in October and asked if I would like her to receive it during this visit. I first replied that I was not concerned about Rabies because my cat was declawed and was not allowed outside. She replied Rabies shots are required by law. I thought to myself that, since the cat has not had a visible reaction to prior Rabies shots in the past, he would be OK this time as well. He was given the vaccination, paid and left. Upon getting home, I looked inside the Cerenia box and found only four doses. This was unsatisfactory because the cat regurgitates his meals several times a week and, at approximately $9.00 per pill, I could not possibly afford this medicine. I called the Main Street Clinic and made arrangements to return the pills. I asked for a cheaper treatment and was told there was no effective alternative. I have since learned that another cheaper option for some pets is probiotics. Shortly after getting home, my cat started regurgitating repeatedly, vomiting all the solids in his intestinal tract, and then foaming. At first, the foam was white, then pink, then I realized it was bloody. Initially, I did not understand how sick he was, but as the day went on, the cat visibly declined. He would not eat his scheduled meal and he just lay in a heap. This continued into the evening. The next morning he declined further and I called the Main Street Clinic to report that I feared my cat was dying and thought the vaccination might have brought it on. The receptionist called Dr. Schindler. She agreed that was a possibility and advised me to bring the cat to the clinic to receive fluids to ease his passing, do blood work, and (if he continued to decline), euthanize him. I asked the doctor why she was suggesting blood work. I asked again what would be the benefit for the cat from blood work, but received no answer. That completed the conversation. Fortunately, my cat has not died. It has now been over a week since our visit to the clinic and he is himself again: alert, even playful at times, and loving. This experience with Main Street Veterinary Clinic was horrific. The visit made my cat much sicker (not better). Dr. Schindler did inform me of the possibility of an adverse reaction to the vaccination, but I thought naively that if my cat had not had a negative reaction over the past 17 years that was not an issue. I regret that the doctor did not suggest I wait for Licorice's scheduled vaccination in October. I do not understand why the doctor even brought the vaccination up and risked putting an old, sick cat in jeopardy. When I later spoke to her indirectly on the phone, through the receptionist, she said that the cat was close to dying and the vaccine had likely hastened his passing. I thought this callous. I did not bring Licorice to the Clinic to hasten a painful death. Nor do I understand why a licensed veterinarian would advise me to do blood work on a dying pet. Certainly, it would not prolong his life or make his passing more comfortable. I believe that Dr. Schindler acted unethically by suggesting that what appeared to be a dying cat get an early rabies vaccination (even though she thought it could make him sicker) and suggesting blood work (not only during the clinic visit but a second time when we both thought that death was imminent). Cats dying from old age need neither vaccinations nor blood work.

    This is long, however, worth reading…read more I want to start by saying everyone here is extremely friendly. We have taken multiple animals here over the years and always had pleasant experiences. That being said, whenever we are there and there is an issue, I never feel we get clear guidance on what to do. It almost always seems like it's a list of things we can do and let us choose rather than professional recommendations. Almost like, how much money are you willing to spend while you take shots at fixing this? This really came to a head here recently when I feel diagnosing our puppy with kidney disease was poorly handled and almost mishandled in my opinion which has resulted in a 1.5 year dog having stage three kidney failure. After years of only having one dog, we decided to finally get another and we went and got an 8 week old Dalmatian puppy. Immediately we realized that he would not stop drinking water (to the point he would throw up) and had more frequent than normal accidents in the house. When bringing this up, we were told that they could do a blood test, however, he is too young to have kidney issues and it is most likely a disorder that makes him obsessed with water and he will grow out of it. We continued to bring this up on every visit and were told to limit his water and he would grow out of it. Finally, when we came in and he was around 1.5 years old, they decided to do blood work and found out he was in stage 3 kidney failure. They recommended an ultrasound and sterile urine sample which we did. Based on the findings they said he should immediately be put on antibiotics because something they found points to a possible infection and we were prescribed over $100 in antibiotics. It was also determined his bladder wasn't normal size and things seen on the kidneys point to issues. We were told time is of the essence and we had to get him on the antibiotics. They said special kidney food was important but never made it seem urgent. If they had, they would have tried to send it home with us that day. A couple days later they called and let us know an infection was not an underlying issue. Honestly, it seriously felt like it was about the money and not properly treating our dog. They then sent a referral to go to Virginia Tech to see a specialist. Virginia Tech would not be able to get us in until 9/25. Months later. This is where I really start to get aggravated. They claim every second matters but recommend us to a place that can't get us in for months. Luckily my wife knows a veterinarian and they refer us to a Specialist who is in Vinton and was an Internist/Professor at VT for over 20 years. He got us in the following week. Why in the world would Roanoke Animal Hospital not have referred us to him? There is absolutely no way they didn't know about him. Unfortunately, he did confirm Stage 3 Kidney failure and gave us some recommendations. One thing he said was that no matter what, we have to let him drink as much water as he wants. If not, it can start to cause issues with his organs. Because we do not have bloodwork from when Pongo was a puppy, I have not clue if he has always been in Stage 3 Kidney failure. That being said, what if he WASN'T? What if they had recommended we do blood work and we found out what was going on early and immediately did stuff to slow down the progression? How much damage has limiting his water for 1.5 years at the direction of the Vet done? Now my family has to deal with the fact that the puppy we love might only be alive until he is 3 or so. The ball was dropped. And I hope this really makes Roanoke Animal Hospital rethink things and take a much more proactive approach to stuff. Nothing can fix this, however, I hope this prevents another family from having to deal with the same heartbreak.
