These people care about nothing except the almight dollar. The vet is totally unprofessional and came into the treatment ranting and raving like a complete jerk before he had even done an exam on my dog. He never touched her. Then he sent one of his minions in with a list of the most ridiculous charges I have ever seen. This doctor never looked me in the eye and he is one of the most negative people I have ever met. I have a special needs dog that has undergone years of treatment with specialists and Holbrook (I cannot call him Dr. just because he has the paper) was not interested in her vast medical history and treatment records. He said my dog was infested with fleas & that was her problem. He guaranteed me that he could make my 20 acre farm "flea-free". Wow! When I got home, I combed my dog and she had TWO fleas on her and she probably got those at his office. What a nightmare. Stay away from this guy. He cares nothing for your animals. It is all about lining his coffers. He is just a horrible person, very rude. Also, the staff talked down to me. I am a doctor and have been in animal rescue for over 30 years so I know a bit about disease processes and treatment protocol. Going to this place was a big mistake. Will never go back and my post will hopefully save others from wasting their time and lots and lots of money. Terrible experience. Dr. H.

Dropped off my cocker-poo like I always do every 6-8 weeks for grooming plus she needed her annual distemper vaccine. They always ask me which phone number they should contact me and I tell them my home number but they can also try my cell phone if I am not at home. I had dropped her off at 8 am and when I hadn't heard from them by 1pm I called them and found out she had been ready by 10am and they left a message on my cell phone. Never tried to call me on my home phone and because my cell phone is in my purse I didn't hear it. Then when I picked her up I noticed a $12 charge on my bill and I asked what that was and I was told because the tech found fleas on my dog they had to give her a pill that would kill the fleas and protect their environment. I was clearly upset because I know for a fact my dog does not have fleas as I treat her with a flea and tick prevention each month. I have also been going to this vet for over 2 1/2 years and they have never found a flea on my dog. Of course they argued with me and said this was their policy. The next day the tech called me and asked how my dog was doing since she also had the distemper shot and I said fine except I was upset about this pill they gave her. The tech said she was the one who found the fleas and I asked her how many fleas did she find and she said ONE. One flea? So I bet the flea she supposedly found probably jumped off of one of the other dogs in their place and onto my dog and so they get to charge me $12. When I complained her response was "Well if you don't like our policy you can take your business elsewhere"Talk about unprofessional. All I can say I have now found another vet to which I can say I wish I had done this sooner. They have made a number of mistakes with medications as well as just when I had my dogs records being transferred they tried to say I had declined a rabies shot when my dog clearly had her rabies shot in 2013. Then when they got that straightened out they said what I had declined was the rabies tag, which again was not true. If they had noted their records correctly they would have found that the rabies shot for my other dog which is now deceased was the one that Dr. Holbrook and ourselves had decided to not give her the rabies shot because of her age and medical condition. Again another error on their part. I would not recommend this place to anyone. All they think about is money. The only person there I can say I will honestly miss is the front desk girl Deanna. She is by far one of the nicest girls you will ever meet. As for Crystal and Alana they should fire the both of them.

Seem like good folks, but, the upsell, I mean every charge seemed ridiculous, very high cost for the value you receive. Though my dogs are family, you can't expect to cram every conceivable unnecessary test, tests for this and tests for that, tremendous overkill. The overall concern for making the mighty dollar, well, seems to push these folks right out of anyone's price range.

Dr. Holbrook and his staff have been caring for my 11-year old Pomeranian, Doozie, for five years. Their number one priority is the health of my pet. Whether it's a regular check-up or a more serious situation like my dog's recent pancreatitis, or her patella luxation, or her allergies, their top priority is the health of my pet. The staff is friendly. They are accommodating with fitting appointments into my schedule. Upon arrival we are led into an examining room almost immediately, a tech appears to take preliminaries, and the doc is not far behind. Upon examination, the medical condition and treatment recommended are explained in layman's terms that I easily understand. Options for treatments are offered if applicable. I receive follow-up telephone calls checking on my dog's condition during treatment. And Doozie is even sent a birthday greeting every year. Over all, I find Dr. Holbrook and his staff outstanding and would highly recommend Marion Veterinary Hospital to persons who really care about their pets.

Nice front office staff, but that's about the best I can say. I think my dog got fleas there, and the vet was very unprofessional about it when questioned. Needless to say, not returning.
