Preventive care

This veterinarian may have been good at one time not anymore . My Labrador "Ted" was seen wensday sept 4th 2024 by jason,had his pain pills refilled because he is alittle sore in his back end. On sept 6th i called there office because my buddy Ted was having trouble breathing and was just not moving . The receptionist Debbie says to me we only take by appointment. Mind you this is the only vet my dog Ted see's . Debbie says i will leave a message for jason ,1.5 hrs later .....Debbie calls me back and i am expressing great concern that he needs to come in . Debbie says "jason says he just has a tummy ache from his medication and should be ok over the weekend. I expressed once again that there is something terribly wrong ,she became rude in her tone of voice and says jason will call you after hours ,i told her he wont make it .jason never called and i rushed him to a 24hr emergency ,he died when i laid him down on the gurney. Over 20 plus years of Blackman being my veterinarian clinic, intrusting them with my boy .NEVER WILL I TAKE ANOTHER ANIMAL OR A RECOMMENDATION....... How can jason diagnose my best friend over the phone and not even call or even say they were sorry............i call him jason because he sure isn't a doctor . You sighned up for the wrong job jason......you left me when we needed you the most or Dr.Christy.. TO BAD DR.PAT HAD TO RETIRE BECAUSE JASON HAS ALOT TO LEARN .

For the most part we've always had good care here. Yesterday I called about my cat and was told to keep her contained in one room and quiet because she had injured her front paws. I was told by Gabby to call between 7:50 - 10 this morning about a drop off appointment. I called at 9:45 talked to Debbie who said they NEVER tell anyone to call between those times. I replied I'm sorry I'm just doing what I was told. She also said it was not down for my cat to come in for a drop off appointment. Why would I just make this up? I was told to call back on Wednesday or Thursday at 7:30. I've been bringing my cats here for nearly 20 years and have never gotten such a run around as this time. Not sure what the problem is now. But in the meantime my cat is suffering.

Jackie has been going to Blackman Animal clinic since he was just a little guy. They always take good care of him and make sure he and we have everything he needs. Jackie has anxious detachment and recently had a seizure. His vet told us exactly what to do. He sour special boy and we trust his doctor implicitly.

I am sad today. I have been going to blackman animal clinic for over 30 years and have always had excellent service and vet care for my pets. I have been taking my pets there ever since i moved to Jackson in 1989. I have always been more than happy with the care and treatment my pets have received and i have highly recommended blackman animal clinic to anyone who was looking for a vet. Today i called to make an appointment for my cat to update her rabies shot. My cat is six years old and she has gone to this vet since she was 4 weeks old. The person who answered the phone informed me that, since i have not been there since 2022, i am no longer a customer and my cat is no longer a patient. I said “Are you telling me that, even though i have been a loyal customer for over 30 years, and my cat is a current patient, that i no longer have a vet?” Their answer was “I don't know your history but that is our policy.” So matter of fact and so cold. I am saddened and frustrated, and feel very screwed over. I have trusted this vet for so many years. Now i guess i am looking for a new vet, hopefully one that doesn't hang their loyal customers out to dry. 😢

We have had such a wonderful experience at Blackman animal clinic! We had an emergency with our cat and our prior vet couldn’t get him in for weeks. I called Blackman and they got him in immediately and saved us a trip to an emergency vet. We then switched our dog there as well. We were treated with amazing service and Dr Gorczyca was great and was very interactive with my kids as well. She has a true passion for animals. Highly recommend!
