I
don’t
take
writing
negative
reviews
lightly,
so
this
has
been
some
time
coming
and
is
the
result
of
a
second
poor
experience
at
this
hospital.
This
place
does
NOT
know
how
to
handle
cats.
Brought
my
orange
boy
in,
and
they
took
him
back
right
away.
After
that,
4
hours
of
ZERO
communication
about
his
condition
and
what
they
were
doing
with
him.
It
wasn’t
the
wait
time
that
I
found
problematic
but
the
absolute
lack
of
communication
from
staff.
It
got
to
the
point
where
I
had
to
knock
on
the
staff
door
and
ask
if
anyone
was
even
there.
The
place
was
desolate
(so
I’m
not
sure
what
took
so
long).
I
was
at
my
wits
end
and
about
to
just
tell
them
to
give
me
back
my
cat
and
I’ll
leave.
However,
that
is
my
baby,
so
I
stuck
it
out
in
hopes
they’d
be
able
to
find
something
and/or
make
him
feel
better.
They
essentially
found
nothing
and
when
we
asked
Dr.
Sowders
about
what
was
happening,
he
replied
with
a
snarky
response
saying
“well,
your
cat
has
already
scratched
up
two
of
my
staff
members”.
First
of
all,
are
your
people
not
trained
in
handling
agitated
and
scared
cats?
Second,
what
a
curt
thing
to
say
to
someone
who
is
worried
about
their
pet.
Apparently
this
is
his
demeanor
though
based
on
other
reviews
I
have
seen.
Clearly,
this
guy
has
zero
bedside
manners
if
you
will.
Needless
to
say,
$1100
later
and
a
severely
traumatized
cat,
I
won’t
go
back.
I
had
a
cat
that
has
since
passed
who
went
here
for
primary
care
and
ended
up
SCREAMING
in
the
back
one
time,
urinating
on
himself
and
I
had
to
intervene.
I’ve
had
too
many
bad
experiences
with
rude,
arrogant
vets
here.
I
take
my
boys
to
College
Station
Cat
Clinic
for
their
regular
checkups
and
they
NEVER
have
issues
controlling
them
or
keeping
them
calm
and
safe.
Seems
VCA
needs
more
training
on
working
with
cats.
I’m
the
type
of
pet
owner
that
will
fork
out
whatever
costs
I
need
for
my
babies,
but
I’ll
be
darned
if
I
give
another
penny
to
VCA
Arboretum.
I
felt
so
bad
for
my
kitty
and
wish
I
had
just
waited
a
few
more
hours
and
taken
him
to
College
Station
instead
of
this
ER.
