I actually have a very bad experience in this specific ""hospital"" (which I have hard time to acknowledge...). \r
\r
I got a pet and had it in Banfield the Pet Hospital Monroeville for wellness plan since 2006. Initally they sent an intern as it's issued doctor. One time the intern gave it an overdoes of steroid for treating it's skin problem, which caused it immunodeficiency. Another time we had our pet to do dantal cleaning. After the process they asked us to bring it back w/o informing us how to take care of an after-surgery pet (it had anesthesia). Our pet actually stumbled when we opened the cage.\r
\r
The worse experience I had is just happening recently. Last week I had a chance to review my pet's medical information. During the conversation with the fornt desk clerk I noticed that she didn't know the policy of the health insurance they propagandize all the time. After we asked more detail questions, we found that since 2006 they miss a vaccination which they list in their service. We realized that they never explain what they've done or what they've never done. We asked the clerk to provide our pet's medical history, interestingly, she said they don't have our pet's medical history any more! A pet hospital does not have their cleints' previous medical records! What does it mean to a pet owner? \r

If you are using their service, it's really a good habit to itemize the service they actually provide and check it afterward. B/c they could miss something and never tell you what's going on.\r

Here is their game: they always make many warnings and problems to pet owners so that it makes you feel like your pet needs to do this or do that. However, some items in their wellness plans is just unnecessary. But when your pet actually gets medical problems, their help is very very little. Not mention to really cure your pet. \r
\r
I hope my bad experiences may help you to think twice before you use their service. \r

Cons: lack professional skills, professional attitude, honesty, and consideration
