Customer Reviews
Went there to get my dog spayed. Went their because it was the most affordable place and they could do I earlier than the other vets. Gave her a very heavy dose of anesthetics. Vet called me that evening and told me she was done with surgery but was really out so he would keep her til the next morning. The next morning my wife went to get her and she was covered in diarrhea. She's 110 lb dog and my wife is 125lb. She had to basically drag her back to the car. No pain meds for the dog. She was messed up for the next 4 days. Then vet tried to give me a higher price than the receptionist quoted me. I won't take my dog there again. 2 stars because he seen my dog earlier and more affordable than the other vets
I had an ok time here. Took my cat in for illness. Easy, clinic prices and meds. Like another review, doctor charged more than reception quoted. Another thing we paid for an exam, didn't do an overall. It's not vetco. It should be done. Gave meds that were almost expired. Was willing to correct it. Spaying surgery is what most reviews say they gave problem with. For other stuff this works ok.
Anyone who needs a vet, even for something minor, presumably an ear infection, should got to Cort at Ballaine Veterinary Clinic. He runs it out of his house, I think, so he prices are reasonable but he just called me back, at 10 pm, about my pup so he could send out meds for her ear infection even though his day was crazy. I will never take a dog somewhere else until he retires.
I have taken all my dogs to Cort. Even in his absence the "fill in" vet was wonderful. I had a dog that had an endocrine issue and she was diagnosed quickly and put on meds that corrected her issue. He is down to earth and not big business type. He has spayed one of my son's puppy and she did great. I wouldn't want to take my dogs to anyone else. Prices are reasonable and service/treament is great.
It's been a little over a year since this event happened and I've been sitting on the fence whether or not I should be even posting this. Considering it nearly killed my rabbit I should let the public know that this could happen to you too. A little over a year ago my husband and I did research to try to find a veterinary clinic and a veterinarian who would be able and has the ability to neuter my rabbit. We looked around to all of the different clinics and made very many calls. This was one of the locations that indicated to us that they knew what they were doing and they were more than capable of neutering our rabbit. I remember initially being very worried and concerned because they had not done it technically before and that made me concerned. Everything seemed okay and we went through
