THIS PLACE IS THE WORST!!! PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMAL HERE! we happened upon this place because we lived down the road, and we needed someone who accepted CARE credit- my husband lost his Job of 15 years, and we were on a VERY fixed income, due to living off of severance, and no promise for a new job- (we have since moved out of TX and he found a good job, but it was a scary for a bit there!) anyhow, our dog ended up with a terrible ear infection, and we did not have the money to treat it immediately, so i did what i could (natural remedies, etc) well to no avail, it only got worse, finally i had some room on my care credit, and contacted this place- explained our financial situation, they got us in right away, I explained our financial situation, and also explained that we needed heart guard, as we ran out and he was at risk- well he first told me that the two ear swabs that he had to do would be $40 each, and then, once he did them, he indeed found infection (DUH! it was very OBVIOUS, just by looking at his ears) once diagnosed, he gave me 2 prescriptions, a 4 oz. bottle of ear wash, charged me $40 AND a 15 gm tube of tri-otic $40- (YES FOLKS, $80 for meds that i found on Amazon for $25 total!) he also told me that he would not even give my dog the heart guard or the test, because his ears need immediate treatment, so again, my dog was without heart-worm preventative. I also must add, the whole time he was talking up his NEW CAT-SCAN machines that he was getting in a few weeks! (he needs to get a new office, first, it's AWFUL) when i was finished, i had 2 ear swabs done, 2 prescriptions and an office visit charge, and my total was OVER $220! when it sunk in that evening about the meds, i called the next day, it must have been his wife who answered- I was super nice, and stated that i think they might have made a mistake on the charge of the medications? i told her what i paid, she said that there was no mistake, and then i explained that i paid $13 at my last vet for the ear wash, and i also found them both on amazon for under $30 for BOTH- she responded with ""We are allowed to charge any price we'd like with prescriptions, and that is what we charge!"" so i told her that they are THIEVES, and i hung up- I was SO angry!!! this place is by far THE WORST, besides that it is DIRTY, and needs new floors and lots of updating! on the flip side, his vet assistants were AWESOME! they clipped his nails without the dr knowing for free and i could see that they knew he is a poor excuse, but a job is a job! just to finish it off, i just had THE best experience here in GA, My dogs' chronic ear infections are back, i took him in, he received 2 vaccinations, 2 ear cultures, 2 prescriptions, heart-worm test AND 6 month supply of heartguard and the dr even cleaned his ears and showed me the proper way to do so, and it was UNDER $220- PLEASE, i will say it again- DO NOT GO TO THIS VET- \r more
