Will never use their services again. My dog got hit by a car and broke his hind leg. They told us it should heal with a splint and to come back every 2 weeks for a splint change and meds which would be about $150 though the 2 times we went back it was over $300 and almost $600. Not only that the second time we went back for them to change the splint they told us we would need to wrap the top of it with duct tape because they couldn't properly secure it since they didn't have tape large enough! Then the 3rd visit they told my boyfriend my dogs leg was not healing (proceeded to bend the Breck back and forth to show my boyfriend) and told him we had 3 choices to go to a surgeon and pay to have plates put in, have the leg amputated or put our dog down. He then sent them home with nothing to support the leg and no pain medication. Once I found out I went to the vets asking why at the very least he wasn't given pain meds and Dr. CHEN stated he forgot. When I asked how can you forget your patient needs med, that the dog has a broken leg and and infections!! He became very hostile and stated he did nothing wrong that he did his job. I tested if that's true then why am I here now? Then to top it off we went to the surgeon in Pattersonville for our dog and she stated his leg WAS healing ,that while plates would help him heal his bones were well aligned and will most likely heal fine even without the surgery. She also stated he DID NOT need amputation and putting him down was not needed she didn't even see why Dr. CHEN would suggest either at this time tht the Infection was superficial (not in the bone as Dr.Chen suggested). And lastly the medication that was prescribed to sedate my dog by Ft.Plain Animal hospital was 1/6th the dose a dog his size should have been prescribed which would.explain why he wasn't sedated enough to heal while under the care of FT. PLAIN animal hospital. Disgusting

Dr Weaver was very nice and answered my questions patiently. The staff at the front desk are always very kind and helpful. Their love for animals really shows.

My dogs see Dr Weaver, they are so excited coming to the vets rather than being scared. Everyone greets them and obviously treats them with care when they go to the back for nail trimmings, shots, etc. Everyone is quick to answer questions.
