Dr. Barbara Bodolosky does not genuinely care about her clients. She is extremely cold and heartless. On November 2nd 2010 I brought my dog for a check up and was told by Dr. Bodolosky that my dog had bladder stones and needed surgery that cost $1400 dollars to get rid of them or he would die. She told me that I needed to come in the following day so that she could perform the surgery. I was devastated and scared that I would be losing a family member and explained to her that I couldn't come up with so much money in one day. I asked her if she would take half and then I would give her half the following month. She told me she doesn't accept payment plans. Then she had the audacity to tell me that the only way she would take a payment plan would be if I had collateral. I asked her, what do you mean by collateral? She then asked me ""do you have any diamonds or anything of value that I can hold onto so that I can make sure you will pay me?"" I said no the only thing I have of value is a computer,a t.v and a gold chain because I am unemployed and disabled. I frantically told her I'll give you all of them to hold just please keep my dog alive! She then coldly smirked at me and said ""call me when you come up with the money"" and she walked away. I have been an excellent customer of hers for 5 years and have spent thousands of dollars on vet bills for my dog. On November 2nd 2010 I paid $335.00 dollars for my visit. I was extremely upset at the thought of losing my best friend and family member. I didn't even have enough money to take a cab back home and wound up having to hitch hike with my sick dog in the darkness. I was hitch hiking right in front of the animal hospital and every single staff member including Dr. Bodolosky looked at me holding my dog and crying. They all walked straight to their vehicles and some of them were even laughing. Then they all drove home and left me on the side of the road with my dog unable to get home. I feel so hurt by her insensitive and horrible conduct and I pray that no one else has to experience what I felt that night. I highly urge everyone who truly loves their pets and would like to be treated with dignity and respect to choose a different vet.
