How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Tipton Ridge Veterinary Center

Preventive care

Took my cat there for sinus issues they did good with that then they told my husband our cat needed a booster rabies shot now my cat can barely walk and they want to charge us 60 bucks to see him when it was their fault hes like this in the first place... I feel like since they administered the shot they should check him for free we already spent alot of money for his treatments before hand. I wouldn't recommend going here.

I took my green cheek conure for his first vet visit today. The place was very clean and inviting. I was favorably impressed with the manner of all the staff, especially Dr. Morgan. He was very friendly and professional. He took time to talk to me, without making me feel rushed in any way, even though I am certain he had other clients waiting. My bird was not very cooperative, but Dr. Morgan appeared to do his best to cause as little stress as possible. While waiting for the doctor, a staff member came and offered me something to drink, which really impressed me. Thanks to Dr. Morgan—and his amazing team—for immediately giving me a sense of confidence and working hard to earn my trust from the moment I walked in the door!

We had our 2nd experience with Dr.Sharp today. Outstanding is an understatement. His staff were great with our pup. Dr. Sharp took more time to listen, evaluate and discuss the concerns than I could of hoped for. It went from a visit filled with anxiety to peace of mind. From check in to check out excellent care. Really can't say enough good things about our experience. Genuine care... that's rare these days. We will be using him for all of our veterinary needs.

On Sunday, our baby had an allergy flare up and needed some extra medicine. I called and they were able to see our boy that day, just had to pay an emergency visit, which is totally understandable, it was Sunday after all. This was our first time using this office; the staff, vet assistant, and Dr. were amazing. The assistant and Dr both took their time with Kilo, they got on the floor with him, this way they were able to get to know him and for Kilo to get to know them. They made him feel at home and at ease as they were helping make him feel better. The Dr. fully explained the current medication he was on for his allergies and explained the new medication he was going to give him. The are very reasonable with their prices as well. I will definitely be using Tipton Ridge Veterinary Center for all our veterinary appointments in the future.

Drove over an hour for an appointment originally quoted $52 for an office visit for a rabbit, ended up being charged almost $70. Has a tumor that is busted open in his chest with a 1 1/2" wound. Looked at for maybe two minutes and said there is nothing they would do. "No time" to do a surgery, referred me to Blacksburg after saying they would give me estimates. Basically told me to just leave the wound open that lots of rabbits lol be with those. Seriously? The price difference was bad enough, but now I'm paying for a useless visit. If you knew the issue and knew you couldn't do anything then you needed to refer me somewhere else from the beginning. Ridiculous waste of time and money. Had no right to charge a visit just to send me an hour and a half up the road.
