The vet was acceptable. The vets assistant, the technician was terrible. She said she was new and didn't know the answers to my questions about the medication I was given. I asked to speak with the vet regarding the medications perscribed. she left, came back and just again tried to answer my question when I specifically asked to speak with the vet . That's not a big issue, Or a big deal. The problem I have is when my large 3lb guibea pigs stomach and ribs are being squeezed down to about 2 inches against her body while my guinea pig is squeezed and screamed at the top of his lungs. My guinea pig is practically mute, he doesn't make vocalizations practically ever. I immediately said stop squeezing him and made the doctor look at his organs again and bones since I figured an organ burst or ribs were fractured. Definately a traumatic experience for me and most importantly my guinea pig. He doesn't really seem to be improving and I'm sure the severe stress of being squeezed hard and squeeling for the first time in his life added to his already declining status. Certainly will not be using this clinic again because of the lack of training and common sense the "new " technician has. This should be a professional establishment when it's costomers are asked to drop 100's of dollars. Pet parents have enough to worry about with their sick animals. They shouldn't have to be deeply concerned for the health of their animal at the hands of untrained uneducated clueless technicians . Side note: it wasn't his nails being trimmed he has no problem with that many people have held him normally in the past and it was a smooth experience

Dr. Blair's 5 minutes of looking at my Bearded Dragon was $92! She wanted to give anesthesia to lance an abscess costing over $400. Just got antibiotics and food supplement instead to treat her. Sadly other friends of mine agree that this vet hospital over charges for its services.

Why does pet care have to be so expensive!!! Still don't know why may pet is lethargic and has no energy and spent over $1000.

I couldn't get Dr. Briggs and when I asked for an Avian vet, they told me she was good. She was in the process of learning about birds and kept asking the tech if she was doing it right. He knew more than her . Couldn't answer my questions and in my opinion did not cut his wings right.

I feel that the Vet didn't take the time required and just rushed through the exam. My dog was very agitated and rather than take a few minutes to calm the animal, they brought in a muzzle on my 17 lb "dangerous beast."

They had to muzzle my dog because they were scared of him. Charged me 95 dollars for pulling a tick off his ear

Disorganized and somewhat deceitful. X rays were done but apparently were useless as he needed a ultrasound, so spent wasteful money there just to be sent to another vet hospital, so ended up payimg almost $400 to Ocean New Prospect, Jackson NJ and then going to to the other facility and spending almost $700. If they would have been upfront about the xrays NOT being effective in diagnosing I could have save a little bit of money. Definetly would suggest to others to ask if the tests are going to be helpful as I said, they knew only a ultrsound would be effective in diagnosing and yet they did xrays which was a waste of money as xrays are not able to see many things

on the phone when I said I only wanted to clip birds nail and wings they gave me a price of 35. When I went for appointment they said they giving a full exam and they charged 80 buts. I probably would have not used them if I knew it would cost so much. Don't know if I will use them again. But the doc was nice just wish they communicated and didn't get screwed like that.
