David Spence I believe was the name of the vet I worked with. I thought all vets were the same and incredibly nice and I'm hoping this review finds other people who feel the same to let them know it is not true. I took my pet in for emergency care on an evening, and the inappropriate, incorrect, and unprofessional assumptions the vet made about me were just deplorable. I am pursuing my Doctorate degree and had people coming over for an end-of-semester get-together, and I looked at the person who came with me and said I didn't know what to do since people were coming to the house and no one was there. I had already been at the vets for 1 hr. The vet felt the need to ""lecture"" me about the importance of my sick pet, and proceeded to tell me that my social life should take a back seat to her. I was already paying $91 for him to look at her--my pet was already my priority however I did not have the phone number to my friends to call them and let them know the situation. I just didn't know what to do because I needed to be there for my pet. Little did he know that I don't have a social life due to the nature of my program and this was the first time since 10 months ago that I was getting together with them. He further did not know that I took in a mom cat and her 5 babies over the summer, got the babies spayed and neutered on my own finances (that I don't have seeing as though I am a college student) and found them good homes since all of the no-kill shelters were over booked for the summer. Pets are always a priority to me but based on his assumptions from my appearance and age he made these inaccurate assumptions about me. He then proceeds to ask what the relationship was between me and the concerned person that came with me. He was wondering if we were dating, living together, brother and sister, in an attempt to ""assess the situation."" That was NONE of his business. I was so appauld that I took my cat to another vet the next day. I had to put my cat to sleep, no thanks to him, and I did NOT appreciate anything this doctor did for me. I would suggest if you have a pet that appears to be sick but you are unsure and you are utterly concerned, take them to the Orchard Park Vet on Orchard Park Road rather than this place. I will never go back here. Handling the loss of my pet was hard enough--the undue stress this vet added to the situation was completely uncalled for and simply deplorable.
