I really don't believe some of these reviews. I have been going to Carson Tahoe Vet for 15 Years. None of the things mentioned here have ever happened to me. Dr. Hittenmiller has never suggested any un necessary tests and is a great vet. For years my pet got her vaccinations every year and a check up. As the pet got older and some problems arised and the doctor did run some tests. Without these tests I am not sure how he could diagnose the problem. How could someone say you are not allowed into the exam room with your pet ? That is just crazy and not true. On a emergency case, with the pet critical, I can understand that the staff asks you to leave the room until the pet's immediate needs are taken care of. The pets needs come first, then my needs are to be addressed\r
I have also gone to Dr.Swallander . He was extremely nice,caring and knowledgeable\r
Going to a vet is expensive. I think the prices charged here are about the same as other area vets. You need to be in control. You need to ask questions. If you do not want the tests just tell them no.\r
If you are a responsible pet owner, you would purchase some type of pet insurance to help with the costs. We purchase insurance for our family members, why not our pets.
Pros: Amazing Doctors who have so much knowledge
Cons: When it gets busy, it gets busy! Emergencies happen!!!
