We
have
been
long-time
customers
here
and
we
will
never
come
back
ever
again.
Very
unprofessional
practice.
Scheduled
our
dog
for
a
morning
teeth
cleaning
and
were
told
no
food/water
after
midnight
the
day
before
his
surgery.
Dropped
our
dog
off
at
8:20AM
as
requested
and
were
told
his
surgery
would
occur
in
the
morning
and
we
would
get
a
call
around
1-2PM
once
he
woke
up
from
anesthesia.
Hadn't
heard
anything
back
by
3PM
so
we
decided
to
give
them
a
call.
They
told
us
our
dog
hadn't
had
his
teeth
cleaning
yet
and
they
weren't
sure
when
we
could
pick
him
up.
Meanwhile,
our
dog
had
been
sitting
in
their
office
since
8:20AM,
without
eating
or
drinking
in
almost
24
hours.
Picked
our
dog
up
around
5:30PM,
who
had
JUST
come
out
of
surgery
and
the
Dr.
who
performed
the
surgery
was
nowhere
to
be
found.
In
my
opinion,
somebody
who
has
only
had
his
Doctorate
of
Veterinary
Medicine
since
2021
and
decides
to
not
come
out
to
the
pet's
owners
in
person
after
a
surgery
is
extremely
unprofessional.
Meanwhile,
nobody
had
given
us
a
quote
on
what
the
teeth
cleaning
would
cost.
We
didn't
think
anything
of
it
because
we
normally
have
our
dog's
teeth
cleaned
every
year
and
every
invoice
has
been
~$400.
However,
this
time,
our
invoice
was
almost
$700,
which
was
almost
a
75%
increase
in
cost.
Mind
you,
we
were
also
charged
for
post-op
care,
when
there
was
no
post-op
care
received.
Upon
speaking
with
the
office
manager
the
next
day,
she
offered
no
solutions,
and
no
partial
refund
for
services
not
received.
The
office
manager
also
claimed
that
Hartrick
was
bought
up
by
a
corporation
who
recently
decided
to
raise
prices
to
"stay
competitive".
Our
friends
and
family
who
take
their
pets
here
will
no
longer
be
back.
Find
a
vet
who
values
your
pets
and
your
business
and
aren't
just
hungry
to
make
an
extra
buck.
Update:
Since
the
manager
had
decided
to
respond
to
this
review
and
give
false
information,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
nobody
was
rude
to
the
staff
upon
picking
up
our
dog.
Had
the
manager
not
already
left
for
the
day,
she
would
have
known
that.
She
is
making
statements
when
she
was
not
even
present
at
the
time
we
picked
our
dog
up.
Why
would
we
be
rude
to
the
front
desk
staff
when
they
are
actually
friendly
and
considerate
and
they
are
not
responsible
for
the
pricing?
Also,
why
would
we
risk
anything
when
our
dog
hadn’t
even
been
handed
back
to
us
yet?
The
staff
love
our
dog
and
have
been
nothing
but
nice
to
us
over
the
years.
The
manager’s
response
is
full
of
invalid
information.
Again,
just
to
reiterate,
we
did
not
ask
for
money
back
because
of
the
doctor’s
age…we
simply
stated
that
there
was
no
post-op
care
received
and
it
was
ridiculous
we
had
to
pay
for
that.
And
yes,
we
received
the
quote
the
same
morning
we
dropped
our
dog
off.
Having
already
paid
for
the
blood
work
to
be
done
for
him
to
go
under
anesthesia
a
few
weeks
prior,
what
were
we
supposed
to
do?
Cancel
the
morning
of?
Had
all
services
that
were
quoted
actually
been
received,
we
likely
wouldn’t
have
mentioned
the
price
increase
in
the
first
place.
However,
from
past
experience,
it
is
custom
for
a
veterinary
practice
to
watch
over
your
dog
post-op
before
picking
them
up.
They
called
us
the
minute
he
woke
up
from
anesthesia
and
told
us
to
come
pick
him
up/no
post-op
care
was
received
because
they
were
closing
for
the
day,
yet
we
still
paid
for
services
not
received.
Our
dog
was
so
out
of
it
and
drugged
up
by
the
time
he
came
home
he
couldn’t
even
stand
up
without
falling
over.
I
also
find
it
comical
that
the
manager
claims
our
dog
was
never
in
any
uncomfortable/hungry
state.
Our
dog
doesn’t
have
a
voice,
which
is
why
I
left
this
review
in
the
first
place.
Just
trying
to
help
other
pet
owners
find
a
reliable
vet
since
we
all
want
the
best
for
them.
I
hope
the
office
manager
isn’t
lying
about
paying
the
staff
a
living
wage,
because
they
truly
have
been
the
backbone
of
this
place
for
years
-
just
unfortunate
that
this
new
corporation
is
breaking
long-time
customers
trust.
