Our dog had a lump on his elbow that turned out to be cancerous. \r
\r
Our experience at Northside was trecherous. I relayed our dog's medical history to Dr. Eisner who, quite obviously, chose not to listen to me, and instead ran a whole battery of tests (read: expensive) that were off-target. Ultimately the problem was in the realm of what I initially discussed. \r
\r
Dr. Eisner, after discovering the cancer (and after reading a whole host of bacteria-related tests that were totally unnecessary), proceeded to warn me that it looked like Osteosarcoma: an extremely aggressive cancer that would have given my dog a couple of months to live. \r
\r
In short, both vets EIsner and Lehman proved to be wildly unhelpful. They were alarmists who laundry listed cancers before a diagnosis was even confirmed. I ultimately had to run all developments past my former vet back in Los Angeles. \r
\r
My husband and I were bowled over by the lack of professional judgment. It borderlined on unethical behavior. At the very least it was wildly irresponsible. \r
\r
I strongly advise any reader to take their animals elsewhere. While they seemed to be dog-lovers, the compliments stop there.
Pros: dog-lovers
Cons: alarmists, expensive, unprofessional
