I should have known better than to give this hospital another try. Unfortunately, I found the staff to be "fake friendly" and felt that important information was not communicated upfront. I encourage pet parents to explore other veterinary practices where they feel genuinely cared for and where both the pet and the pet parent are treated with compassion and transparency. Paying more does not necessarily mean receiving better service or care. And one more thing: I'm not taking my "friend" to the vet. I'm taking my pet--my fur baby. My baby is not simply my friend; he is family.
