My cat had a tapeworm that was treated at another vet (that I will not return to), but he was still having diarrhea an entire week after treatment, and had it for a week before the tapeworm segments showed. I brought both of my cats because I also felt that at their age, and having never had a dental exam, they really should. To my delight, my experience was not at all like it was at the other vet I went to. The tech (Jenny I believe?) was very sweet to my cats, she even let them come out and wander the room while we talked before she handled them. My cats have always done well at the vet because they are used to being handled, but I did feel that my cats did better here than they've ever done at any other place, even after having had a rough vet experience only a week before. It was very clear that the tech and Dr. Baskin were very professional and very well informed. They listened to my concerns, asked questions, and lined up several options for me to try (should the first option not work) in order to treat my cat's diarrhea. As a bonus, the other cat that I brought in had very good dental health with only a small amount of calculus on one of his teeth (which the vet got off easily with her fingernail - why didn't I think of that?!), so his exam was free. They added that it was also because of my bad experience at the other vet - I was touched that they would do that for me even though it had nothing to do with them. The cat with the diarrhea has stage two periodontal disease (not bad for his age and the age that I adopted him), and they gave me a very thorough estimate for the procedure to get his teeth cleaned which was very reasonable. I found the prices of the services and medications that I received to be extremely reasonable, and I did not feel that they tried to "upsell" me, or offer me any service/medication/diagnostic that I did not need and that was not in the best interest of my cat. I was very impressed with them, and will gladly go back and refer others in my area to them. :)
The service was good, but the price was not. Be aware that this clinic has a policy of doing, a "routine pet exam" with each visit--even if you brought your pet within the last month. They didn't include this in the price quoted over the phone, so our bill was much higher than expected.
Yes, I agree! With you, JRP! The lack of care, and the emphasis on the money shines through very bright for this place. I do not agree with Cobra99 regarding the list of "ok" doctors as well, because our heartbreaking experience happen to be with one of the said above named "ok" doctors. Without naming names, OOOOooooo, how we will never trust this place again. If you truly love your pet, please find a better place that will care for them the way all pets deserve. The care comes first and foremost, and you'll save a ton of money in the process too by avoiding them at all costs!
I absolutely love that my pets have Dr. Baskin. She is a wonderful vet and truly cares about her clients. I have taken two rescue dogs to her and she has on more than one occassion stayed late to help me with questions or concerns. The clinic may not be the least expensive clinic, but I believe that the quality of care is worth it. I would recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a great vet.
