My wife had a quote for our dog Tiger to get neutered, she was quoted $250, yesterday they did the procedure but when she went to pay the bill they said it was $385, they did a lot of extra charges, I called the office manager Wendy and said this isn't right, I had my own business for 30 years and if I quoted a client something I said it was 65% more I wouldn't have a client anymore, before they did the procedure they should have called my wife and tell her about the additional charges, the manager said she would call me back. She called back and said do you have the quote in writing, "I said you think I'm lying" and sent her a copy of the quote. (We have 4 Dogs with this Vet)! She said that she would credit us the $135 that was charged extra but that we where NO LONGER WELCOME at their establishment. Do you believe this, they admitted their mistake and then said we where no longer "Welcome" at their establishment. I highly recommend that you stay away from this VET!!!

I wouldn't trust any other Vets anywhere else with my pets. From the front desk to the Vet techs to all of the Vets....best I've ever experienced. Been seeing Dr Kane for at least 15 yrs, and if she's off for the day, ANY Vet there is amazing., Even if surgery is necessary. Plus, they are VERY cost reasonable. Always going above and beyond to keep my dogs healthy. Dr Kane has literally saved some of my dog's lives. I'm old...have had many dogs and cats and have lived all over the country. NEVER have I experienced such great care for my animals...ANYWHERE!
