| - I am giving them 1 star because I do not have the option of giving less. We began taking our Rottweiler here about a year ago when we first rescued her. We got the usual checkup and shots. The office staff, vet techs and the vet we saw that day (believe it was Dr Larson) were all great. We thought we found our vet for life.
Our dog has been sick so I took her in for an appointment. The vet tech came in (a really nice girl) and did the primary consultation including taking her temperature. I informed the vet tech that my dog does not like men (think it has something to do with her life pre-rescue) and that she never has a problem with women. The vet tech said we were scheduled to see Dr Bower but would check to see if the female Dr on staff was available. A couple minutes later Dr Bower came in and I once again brought up my dogs lack of trust with men. He said it would be no problem, "I know how to handle dogs". Yeah what do I know, it's only my dog. Of course my dog went nuts barking and growling but why wouldn't she? She is scared of men, is sick and in an uncomfortable place. Dr Bower said she was just being protective of her owner, (um, no!) and she would be fine once she got in a back room away from me. Yeah, that's not going to be good. He put a rope around her neck and literally drug her out of the room. A few minutes later he and another person came back into the room dragging my dog and telling me I need to put a muzzle on her because she is aggressive and a bad dog. This is the same dog that was nose to nose with the vet tech licking her as she shoved a thermometer up her butt. After they finally took my dog away from me to the exam room, she was returned to me by the vet tech from before except at this point my dogs tail was wagging and she was playing with the tech.
Dr Bower came back in the room moments later and my dogs temperament changed immediately. She was very guarded and growled. I asked what he found and he said she seemed fine and gave me some pills for something that really had nothing to do with the main problem. I'm no doctor but if my dog refuses to eat, what good are pills to be taken orally? I asked Dr Bower what I needed to do and he said "get that dog into obedience training because she is out of control". Really? Ever think it is you a-hole? She was fine with the vet tech, office staff, the other Doctors we have seen before, including Dr Hicks but you're right, it has to be her fault. The little man was cocky and arrogant and has a huge Napoleon complex. My wife has dealt with him in the past and made the same observations. She's taller then him to so not surprising.
Because of Dr Bower, I would never go back to Spencer Springs. Just seeing him makes my skin crawl. Oh and by the way, he did nothing to help my dog so we are going to another clinic tomorrow.
