My family has been going there for 20+ years ever since we got our first family pet. about 20 years ago. My best friend and their family goes there for a fair amount of time. I just got done spending over $560.00 on an exam routine shots and one xray that took less than an hour. I have been to the EMERGENCY clinic for basically the same but more intense exam and paid only $380.00 and change. Plus I spent another $400.00 a few months ago for another one of my kids. Now the kid I just spent almost $600 needs more test and work. I told them that I was just recently let go from my job and my wife had neck surgery yesterday. she will be out of work for about 8 weeks. I have two checks coming from my old job, my has atleast one huge paycheck coming next friday, lpus her disability should kick in soon, plus she has PTO she can use. Plus my unemployment willl kick in on the 15th of this month. The DR!!! told me that she and the radiologist were ""really concerned"" for Willie. So I proceeded to tell her the position I was in and could use a little help. Mind you I just spent more than $560.00 in the last couple of days. She told me that they couldn't help me. That I should go apply for a credit care card. I told her that I have and used it. The DR!!!! then told me my cat could die if not treated. I then explained to her I would have all the money up front. I needed help for my baby boy. she told me that the reason they won't help me was because of ""people"" that have burned them before. I thought that this was an ANIMAL HOSPITAL, I thought that these people cared for ANIMALS like i do, but apparently I thought wrong. This issue has nothing to do with a human it has everything to do with a defenseless animal, that is MY CHILD. My wife and I can't have kids so these are our babies, and they know this ive told them this probably every time i go. I know if i need serious medical treatment I can go to the hospital and get help whether I have money insurance or whatever. That is where the conversation. I have new a new dentist just for a reason similar to this, but in reverse order. I had dentist I liked he wasn't sure he could do the job complete without sending me to a specialist. So i decided to look for a regular dentist that was coffident enough so I didnt have to pay for a specialist. But I didn't have all the money but really needed the work. (root canal). I was refered by someone I barley knew but they were very convincing so I called the doc and explained the situation he told me come now, money can wait. Same dentist also built my wife a whole new set of the MOST BEAUTIFUL teeth I have ever seen KNowing we did not have $10,000.00 to do that. but fought the insurane to pay most of it usually the patient is in charge of that. then our part we pay aas we go, and are never denided service of any kind
