How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Animal Eye Consultants
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

After our dog, Teddy, was diagnosed with SARDS (Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration Syndrome) at the end of May, we were devastated to learn he would have "rapid, irreversible blindness." Rather than just accepting this fate, we researched an experimental treatment offered at Animal Eye Consultants and drove from New York to Iowa to pursue intraocular IVIg injection in combination with systemic immunosuppressive medications with Dr. Grozdanic. Prior to Teddy receiving this treatment, olfactory testing revealed decreased smell sensation (hyposmia). There was also a suspicion of decreased hearing. Since treatment on June 10th, I am delighted to report the beneficial effects on Teddy's sensory responsiveness as evidenced by videos of him playing fetch, navigating an obstacle course, his pupils constricting in daylight, and performing well throughout the day, including jumping on a chair all by himself. Although his days of catching food in his mouth or barking at planes in the sky might be over, we continue to watch in amazement and wonder as he is rediscovering the world. Not only have you helped restore some of Teddy's vision and brought back joy into his life, but you have given us hope by believing in a miracle. With profound gratitude, The Tenoglias

The doctor is very knowledgeable, however the reason I’m giving only 1 stars is due to the cost, the waiting room is so small (for humans that’s fine, but add animals to mix it’s awful!), and you better plan on being in the office at least 2 hours. They are NEVER on time. We are currently in a room and an hour past the appointment time (per norm), and haven’t seen a doctor yet. I’m editing my review as we have just seen him. I complained about the wait time. Our time is just as valuable as his. Because I complained, he fired us as a client. One of the staff came out and talked to me and my husband, explaining the staff has also complained about the wait time and her exact words were “he just doesn’t care and doesn’t listen.” Not only is the wait time bad for us humans, it STRESSES THE ANIMALS OUT TOO! He is pure arrogant. I fully expect him to respond to this review full of arrogance and snide. This doctor has the monopoly on animal eye care, so he can charge whatever he wants apparently. You better be ready to take out a second mortgage. If you have to call in a prescription, it’s a $20 fee on top of whatever the prescription cost is. Human doctors don’t even charge that! He is out for the all mighty dollar and doesn’t care if he stresses your animal out for the long wait time.

I was so worried about my three year old dog Mama when I got there and from the receptionist to Sarah to Dr. G I couldn’t have been happier with the care that they showed me for my girl. I am sure I am one of the lucky ones that walked out of there, knowing that her site was going to be fine. They were very compassionate. They ran several tests and I have recommended them already as soon as I got out the door and got on the phone. I told my friends about them if they ever have eye problems dog or cat that is a place to go. I gave them a rating of five if there would’ve been more choices I would’ve given them whatever the highest was thank you so much Animal Eye Consultants and God, my prayers were answered and I’ll see you in six months.

Dr. G quickly identified the problem with my puppies’ eyes and we started an aggressive treatment plan that saved their eyes and vision. And the staff is so nice! So glad we had this resource close to us. (Before treatment and after treatment pictures)

Horrible customer service. Dr. G, you have a lot of gall to lecture me on patience. We waited over an hour for you. (appointment was for 2:15, finally saw you at 3:35) If we had been an hour or more late I'm sure you would have canceled the appointment and charged us anyway. We also waited 10-15 more minutes for this discharge letter. I'm not frustrated with the dog. I'm frustrated that you think this is an acceptable way to run a business. This type of behavior will not help you either...
