I would never, ever go back to Eastwood Animal Hospital. Two weeks ago, I brought my very sick cat to Eastwood Animal Hospital. He had been vomiting and not eating for 48 hours. He is a young cat and has a tendency to get into the trash, so I figured he might have ingested something he shouldn't have and it caused a blockage. I am new to the area, so this was my first experience with Eastwood. I should have known that there would be a problem when I walked in to a completely empty lobby. I was put into a room and a vet tech took a brief history on my cat. I worked for a vet for many years when I was in college a couple of years ago, so I am pretty well versed on animal medicine. When the vet came in, he was cold and unfriendly. He told me that he wanted to do bloodwork and x-rays, which seemed totally reasonable to me. Then he brought me an estimate... of $906! This was a completely absurd price to me. I was afraid to walk out at this point, as I knew I would already have to pay the $50 examination fee for just coming in. I agreed to x-rays to see if anything was obviously going on. I was surprised when the vet came back with old-school film x-rays. He showed me that there could be something in his intestine, but he couldn't really tell. He said we could wait it out or he could do surgery. When I asked him how much the surgery would be, he said roughly $1,600-1,900 but potentially higher. I knew then that this place was outrageously overpriced. He didn't even provide me a printed estimate or anything for this surgery. As I was checking out ($255 for exam, x-rays and a fluid take-home kit), I asked to take the x-rays with me in case I had to take my cat to the emergency clinic for the surgery (they had given me brochures on the emergency clinic). Eastwood closes at noon on Wednesdays and this was already 10:30am. My cat was extremely sick and could honestly have crashed at any moment. When I asked for the x-rays, the technician acted as if that was an absurd request and went to find the vet. The vet came out and told me that he would charge a $250 deposit for me to take the x-rays with me, which would be refunded if I brought the cat back for a recheck and x-rays the following day. This was really the straw that broke the camel's back. When I worked in an animal clinic, we would give copies of x-rays on CDs or via email with no questions asked! When I mentioned this, they held firm on the deposit. I had just paid $180 for two film x-rays and I could not even take them with me. They clearly care only about the money and not the well being of my animal. The following morning my cat had continued to decline, so I took him for a second opinion at my previous vet, Hunter's Creek Animal Hospital. They were super friendly and informative, took a digital x-ray of my cat and immediately diagnosed him with a foreign body blockage. When the vet went to get me a surgery for the procedure, I was extremely nervous, considering the estimate for bloodwork and x-rays at Eastwood was over $900. When the vet came back with the estimate, for the exam, bloodwork, x-rays, surgery, hospitalization and medications to go home, the cost was $656. One third of the price that Eastwood had thrown me for the surgery. I cannot believe the positive reviews this place has, I am highly suspect of their validity. I would stay far, far away from this place.
We have been going to Eastwood Animal Hospital for 10 years now. The staff is always friendly and the doctor is very knowledgeable. Dr. T has been there for us for our dogs for years. I would never go to another veterinary clinic. Thanks Eastwood!
I moved here from Alabama some time ago and was looking for a vet to care for my dog. Well I found one, that has taken care of her for some time now. Her name is Chloe, and she was a rescue dog and she is now a " Ham" she can not wait to visit the offices of Eastwood, as she always knows she will be taken care of with the best care around and she loves the doctor too..They are friendly and have your pets interest at heart. They have helped me out with boarding at the last minute and that I am thankful for... Keep up the good work..Jane and Chloe Brooks
They took my dog in as a new patient on the same day and were wonderful! Everyone is super nice and the Dr knows what he's doing. The facility was very clean as well!
