Unnecessary blook work 6/18/2010

My first impression was good over the phone, speaking with a girl named Felicia. The next day i was able to get same day service but the girl Claudia was not rude but definetly not polite on the phone, but was rude when i got there. I assume the rude girls working the desk were 1 or both of the ones i talked to on the phone. They didn't introduce themselves, shuffled me into a room for a few minutes before weighing my dogs . Finally the dr comes in with who i assume was an intern who was not introduced to me by the dr or by herself and looked like she didn't want to be there. The dr told me my am. staff w/ a false pregnancy would pass through it w/o any serious problems. he gave me a solution to get my dog to eat his food and that the growth on his eye was nothing to worry about. he also checked his vitals and said they were normal, but still wanted to do blood work...which he neglected to inform me costed 140 DOLLARS! The results came back the next day and were ""normal"". Big surprise there...my dog wasn't acting strange or showing any cause for concern yet he still wanted blood work done. I called him and talked to him for twenty minutes about what i felt was an unnecessary test. he told me it was totally standard procedure and told me to ask any other vet. He was obviously offended with my issue. He told me about pro bono (free) work and volunteering and rescuing dogs from afghanistan. I told him i respected his passion for animals and his work but still thought he favored the business aspect and not the health. I advised that he notify people when something is expensive and he said ""Thanks for the uh...advice but i think i'll keep doing it the way i have for 18 years"" with an attitude. He was probably just mad that someone saw through is little game. Dr is very knowledgeable but watch out for him convincing you about ""preventative tests"" or something like that. Dr didn't earn my recommendation and i think one of his staff members is a meth user judging by the look of her eyes (she looked like she hadn't slept in days). Thumbs down Pros: Knowledgeable Dr, same day appt's available Cons: Rude staff, (except Felicia), dr milked my wallet more
