We are so thankful of Dr. “B” and his staff. We had an emergency with little Lizzy, our little kitten. The only one that lived out of 4. We found Lizzy’s mother is a carrier of a deadly disease. Dr. B treated and tested her for three days, but she did not make it. Dr. B and his staff were very compassionate, caring and kind to us. They gave us all the time we needed to grieve for our little Lizzy .We are very thankful we found Dr. B.

While on vacation on Bald Eagle Mountain, our senior dog took a turn for the worse and we needed to say goodbye sooner than we thought we'd need to. His health deteriorated very quickly and it was made very clear that we needed to find a vet to help us immediately. Not being from the area, and never having been here before, we had no idea who to call. We googled local vets and after being turned away by two other clinics, Dr. Butia's office staff said to bring him in immediately for the doctor to see. Dr. Butia spoke with our own personal vet back home and did an exam on our dog and confirmed what we already knew, that it was time to say goodbye. Dr. Butia and his staff treated us gently and with such compassion. They let us have as much time as we needed with our boy before and after the procedure. It was one of the hardest things our family has had to go through, and they offered us so much care and sympathy. We are forever grateful for their help in aiding our boy across the rainbow bridge. I would highly recommend their office for any and all animal care needs.

My dog has the typical small-dog periodontal disease and is 12 years old, so I took him here to have his teeth pulled. We've had his teeth cleaned and pulled previously at another vet, and cleaning them ourselves just seemed to slow the tooth decay so we were resigned to having all of his teeth pulled. I was quoted a "around 600$" for the procedure, and I figured 600$ was fair given inflation given it cost about 300$ last time. I was an idiot for trusting the vet and not getting it in writing. When I picked him up I was charged 1173$, almost twice as much as I was quoted, because they "needed to remove more teeth than they thought". So either they lied to me about the quoted amount and used that as a justification, or ignored me when I told them ALL his teeth would need to be removed. They didn't actually even remove all his teeth, they left 5. They said they left 4, which has me questioning if they actually even removed 19 teeth like they said they did and charged me for. I've attached the bill, so as you can see it was well over 600$ before they even got to the actual "tooth extraction" part. Anyway, don't trust this vet, and if you have no choice get everything in writing ahead of time. Dr Butia is a liar and a scammer, and his response ignores my actual complaint, that they charged twice as much as they said they would and that I TOLD them from the outset all teeth would need to be removed, yet they are acting like they only found that out after the surgery started.
