The Worst

by PinkLadiiE at Citysearch

My aunt brought her cat in because she was having breathing problems. By the end of the visit Ashley (aunt's cat) had multiple medications, and still the same issue. The doctor claimed Ashley had a thyroid problem. So we started her on the medication like we were instructed, and not only did Ashley not get better, she stopped eating and moving all together. So 3 visits later and a two thousand dollar vet bill; we wanted a second opinion. Come to find out Ashley was misdiagnosed, and fed medications that only made her worst. Ashley had cancer and a heart condition and she had to be put down.

I was taken advantage of

by Jeremy Sumner at Citysearch

I went to this vet for one problem; I explained very clearly how much money I had to spend. The vet gave shots for things that could have waited and did not ask my permission. On top of the the diagnosis of fleas was not correct and what i needed immediate help with wasn't handled.

The office is not clean - especially the exam room. The scale, for example is falling apart. The wait to see the vet was over 2 hrs past the time of appt and it was another 45 min just to get the bill.

I was concerned about my pet and she just went ahead without discussing the cost. I went there several months ago,but, I am still angry. I should also note that I have been bringing dogs to the vet my entire adult life and this was my worst experience.

Professional and kind

I have had a great experience at the 145th street Animal Hospital. I have a german shepard that is my best friend. Dr. Butler has taking extrodinary care of her since I first came to her five years ago. She is the only vet that I trust for diagnostics and checkups. She is honest and is serious about the health of my dog. She knows what she is doing. What a blessing!

• Pros: experienced, kind, understanding
• Cons: small space

Dr. Buttler passionate with animals

by Obot at Citysearch

Dr. Butler is very attentive to all her 4 legged patients or those that crawl like pet snakes.

I have reffered many pet owners to her and they are very satistied.

She just upgraded her equipement. This makes it easier for diagnosis and surgery.

• Pros: Very honest diagnosis
• Cons: Pet owners may not like her honest opinion
