To walk in the door, it costs you $100. It was supposed to include an exam. We took our dog in because he suddenly stopped barking and was acting funny and wouldn't eat or drink. It was a Friday night and I was really worried about him, so we took him in. The exam consisted of taking his temperature (by an aide) and the ""doctor"" that came in did a lot of guessing as to what it could be and when my dog growled a little bit because she was messing around his mouth, she stood back and refused to touch or examine him further. She concluded that he *probably* had something in his throat and that she would get an estimate drawn up and let us know how much it would cost. Well... after about a half an hour, the front desk lady came with her clipboard with 2 quotes. The first quote was to use an anesthetic to make him sleepy so they could examine his throat... the funny thing was, it included 2 shots of amoxicillin at $44 a piece? What? Why? When we asked, we were told that they were just treating the *symptoms* at this point. The actual cost of the sleepy medication was $28. So, why wasn't that just done and then added on as part of the exam that I just paid $100 for? The bottom line was $238 for just putting him to sleep... the next quote that would have included surgery if needed was $636!!! The IV fluids to be administered was going to cost $114, while the surgery itself was only $100... I thought that to be a bit odd... anyway.. .you should really watch what you are paying for here and go through each of the itemized expenses and think about whether it makes sense. We ended up just paying the $100 exam fee (if you could call what we got an exam) and leaving. I ended up giving them a $107 money order, to which they replied they couldn't give me change back... so if you have to deal with this place... good luck with these boobs...\r
