10/24/2025: They did dental one year ago in two of my cats for $900. I am now paying $3000 in subsequent care for both cats due to Dr. Pope not removing rotting and puss filled teeth. Both of my cats have been very sick, after each dental with Dr. Pope, their breath still smelled rancid and that should have been my first clue. If you take your pets to this clinic to save money, don't. It will cost you thousands of dollars later in proper vet care. I have reported this practice and Dr. Pope to the DVM association and hope he loses his right to care for any more animals. My pets are like family and apparently, they do not value my family. It took 15 minutes, as told to me by a Value Vet employee, to do the dental cleanings for $450 per pet. If you want to save money , find a better veterinarian. This practice lacks the care and compassion required to properly care for anyone's animal.
Also I would like to add, Jackson had 7 teeth and 5 roots pulled. Miley is having 5 teeth pulled. This kind of dental decay, puss, dental disease and rotting teeth does not happen over the course of a year. Jackson's front jaw bone is loose due to the dental decay so tell me again how you did your jobs a year ago?
We have all of the dental records transferred from your practice to my new, competent Veterinarian practice and she even stated that this kind of puss, decay and dental disease was in existence a year ago and Dr. Pope was just too lazy to pull the teeth since it is more complex to pull a cat's teeth. It requires time and patience, neither of which can be performed in 15 minutes.
If you stand behind Dr. Terald Lee Pope, then you care just about as much about the well-being of animals as Dr. Pope does. These are our babies, we expect the best care to the best of your ability. He took an oath to do no harm or not leave them in a state of harm that would put them in so much pain later that they cannot even eat their own food.
I am certainly not the first nor will be the last that complains about this Veterinarian. The fact that you refuse to reimburse me shows, once again, you do not care about the well-being of my animals or my financial concerns. I spent $900 for both cats at your practice, $1400 on Jackson at the new Vet and I am spending another $1674 on Miley next month when they can fit her in. Poor baby is in so much pain that I took money out of my 401K to care for her. Tell me how this is not Dr. Terald Lee Pope's fault and Value Vet for employing his services? read more
