1/5 Casey H. 6 months ago on Google
New
to
Arizona,
and
trying
to
pick
a
vet
to
establish
at.
This
was
the
worst
vet
experience
we
have
ever
had.
Our
dog
was
diagnosed
with
pneumonia
a
couple
weeks
ago
at
a
different
vet
in
Oregon.
She's
been
improving,
but
we
wanted
to
do
a
recheck
to
see
if
more
antibiotics
were
necessary.
She
also
has
an
object
stuck
in
her
stomach
that
isn't
currently
causing
any
problems,
but
we
mentioned
that
as
well
just
in
case.
Everything
was
going
alright
up
until
the
point
they
brought
the
quote
out.
They
quoted
separate
charges
for
X-rays
of
the
thorax
and
abdomen
plus
a
$175
radiograph
consultation
fee.
I
asked
why
there
were
separate
radiograph
charges
because
the
previous
vet
caught
the
foreign
object
in
the
stomach
while
xraying
for
the
pneumonia.
The
vet
tech
said
they
weren't
sure
where
it
was
and
would
need
to
take
the
extra
radiographs
to
see
everything.
When
I
asked
about
the
consultation
fee,
they
said
they
don't
have
a
vet
there
that
reads
radiographs
so
they
need
to
get
it
seen
by
someone
else.
I've
never
seen
(that
I
can
think
of)
a
charge
like
this
before.
I
told
them
I
can't
afford
the
abdomen
x-ray,
so
we
want
to
take
that
one
off.
Either
way
that's
less
of
a
priority
since
our
dog
is
pooping
normally
and
isn't
experiencing
discomfort
from
the
foreign
object.
So
they
take
the
X-rays,
and
the
vet
comes
back
to
report
the
results.
They
say
the
pneumonia
is
improving,
and
the
foreign
object
is
still
in
the
stomach.
This
of
course
made
me
really
worried
I
was
about
to
get
charged
for
the
x-ray
I
said
not
to
do.
So
when
I
reiterated
that
we
had
said
we
didn't
want
the
abdomen
x-ray,
the
doctor
said
oh
we
could
see
it
from
the
thorax
x-ray.
This
is
where
I
started
to
get
annoyed.
I
said
something
along
the
line
of
"so
I
was
almost
charged
for
the
extra
x-ray
and
wasted
money
(a
couple
hundred
dollars)
on
something
that
didn't
need
to
be
done?"
And
the
vet
said
"well
we
didn't
know
where
the
object
was,
we
didn't
look
at
the
previous
radiograph"
(for
clarity:
the
X-rays
I
already
had
done
at
a
different
vet).
So
now
I'm
angry.
I
said
yes,
but
the
only
reason
we
didn't
do
that
abdomen
one
was
because
I
said
I
couldn't
afford
it.
So
it
would
have
been
done
and
been
a
huge
waste
of
money
if
I
could
afford
it.
And
the
vet
said
"wweelllllll
we
didn't"
like
oh
well
it's
all
good
because
you
couldn't
afford
it
anyway...
The
vet
told
me
they
didn't
appreciate
my
tone
because
they're
doing
all
this
stuff.
And
I
said
you're
not
doing
me
a
favor,
you're
providing
me
a
service
that
I'm
paying
for.
It
was
all
so
unprofessional
and
they
had
zero
remorse
for
the
fact
that
I
was
almost
charged
several
hundred
extra
for
their
lack
of
diligence.
I
can't
imagine
a
world
in
which
I
do
a
bad
job
providing
a
service
for
someone,
so
they
get
upset,
and
I
tell
them
well
I'm
just
doing
all
this
stuff
like
it's
somehow
okay.
On
top
of
that,
the
meds
we
left
with
cost
almost
10
times
what
they
would
have
at
pharmacy.
Needless
to
say,
we
won't
be
coming
back.
