I haven't visited this Vet yet, but I called and they were very helpful on the phone. They informed me of a walk in vaccination program they have on Tuesdays & Thursdays so we can get rabies vaccines for our two healthy cats very cheap & with no additional exam/visit fees. I will go next Thursday and update this review if there are any surprises, or if I am less than happy with the walk-in experience or with the information I received on the phone.
It s all about the money for Dr. Patrick. DOES NOT care what so ever about the animals...A year ago we took our pug there for shots and and a check up since our dog has had seizures, he talked us into some health plan and convinces us that with blood work and shots it will be worth it. That day we walked out paying $300 along with the health plan that would eventually cost $72 a month for a year and a prescription for seizure medication. He only gave 2 shots that were included in health plan because Dr Patrick said he didn't give him all 4 because he also had blood work and given his age (9yrs old) would be to much. Like clock work they billed our credit card every month for this so called health plan, months later I return for the rest of the shots and SURPRISE health plan ended but they would only charge me for shots not the visit. OK...takes the dog in the back for his shots and returns later telling me dog has a lot of wax in his ears and they have to be cleaned and along with medication would cost $330, loving my dog dearly I gave the go ahead. APPARENTLY not enough money for this vet, and clearly seeing SUCKER written on my forehead, he later tells me my dog needs his tooth pulled and it will cost an additional $998.. I told him that the shots and cleaning were enough and that I would think about the rest. PAID the $330 and left. A week later I call the Vet to refill his seizure medication (a medication he needs everyday for life) and tells me I must bring dog in for blood work before refill. WHAT??? I was just there..he says he needs blood work every year, NEVER EVER mentioned that...I tell him he only has 2 pills left and says no blood work no pills.....Clearly it is all about how much money he can get out of people.. NEVER will I go back !! RIP OFF money hungry so called VET
MONEY HUNGRY!!! RIP OFF!!!! If i could rate it less then a star i would.This place is a rip off! I called for an estimate on a certain type of medication and the vet said i had to bring my dog in to run tests. I told the vet that i just wanted to know how much a specific medication was so I can gather up the money to have enough for the medication and the visit. He kept saying that I would need to bring my dog in to run tests and x rays. I said that I thought it was possibly ring worm and if he could just give me an estimate on the medication so i can plan accordingly. He just wanted me to come in to run numerous tests. I told him that will run me up an arm and a leg and if he can just give me a price on the medication (Itraconazole). He transferred me to the front desk (basically hanging up on me without telling me) and made her do his dirty work to tell me to bring my dog in for tests. What is so hard with getting an estimate for ring worm medication. This place will run unnecessary tests just to charge you. THIS PLACE IS A RIP OFF!! Luckily my girl works at a dog place and had their vet look at my dog for free. Her vet knew exactly what it was within 2 minutes. She told me it was ring worm and wrote me the prescription for (itraconzole). The medication was $300 so i was actually able to use (Clotrimazole) $5.95. Works great and what a major discount. I recommend everyone to do their own research when it comes to your loved ones. There are lots of places that will just run you up a bill because they know that their clients do not know much if anything about veterinary medicine. Sometimes you can find info on medication. (NOT ALWAYS). All in all the vet at pets on a budget is a rip off and stay far away from this place. Also i was reading through the comments here and someone said something about them pulling there dogs teeth. My mother who is an elderly woman was told her dog needed some teeth pulled. 4-5 teeth pulled and a vet bill of more then $1,000. They took advantage of my her. SMH. This place is con artists ... STAY AWAY
Terrible. If you are trying to call and get estimate of what service charges would be before you decide to actually use their services then prepare to get nothing answered. They want you to come in so they can charge you for a visit, even though all you want is just to find out how much would specific service cost. If I need to put a cat or dog to sleep, I got other clinics able to tell me the range of what charges would be for cats its $ and for dogs $ ... then you know how much to expect to spend. But this place can tell you to come in so they can charge you an office visit just to tell you how much it will cost. This place is a rip off... not budget clinic. They are not here to help with your budget but to charge you for unnecessary things that could have been told over the phone.
If I could give this place less than a star, I would. Lorraine, at the front desk, is the most unprofessional person I have had the disgust to encounter. Not helpful, rude, and basically left me to deal with a balance I was told would be waived and sent it to collections instead. Hung up the phone when I was speaking and refused to pick up the phone when I called back multiple times. This is the type of person representing a vet hospital??? A place where I'm supposed to trust that they will do what is right for my pet?? THIS PLACE IS GARBAGE. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME
