| - I've got mixed feelings about this place. In terms of their state-of-the-art equipment and quality of care, they are a top of the line veterinarian. I took my cat there when he was quite sick, and they treated him like he was a person. They ran all kinds of tests and kept him over night and made a very big deal out of my very sick little guy. I appreciated their quality of care.
However, I expressed to them that I have a limited budget, and they laid on the guilt...I walked out of the vet the next day with a $800 bill, and a cat who was slightly better, but still mysteriously sick. All their tests told me things that weren't wrong with my cat, but none of them helped me figure out what WAS wrong.
I ended up taking him up the road to the Monroe Road Animal Hospital, and they helped my kitty quite a bit more. They treated his symptoms and respected my budget.
If you've got tons of money, the Animal Medical is probably the most state of the art facility in our region. I wish I'd been able to afford $800 a day to help my kitty out...but the fact of the matter is, I can't...and I didn't appreciate the staff at Animal Medical suggesting that I was an unloving kitty mama because I can't.
I haven't been back, and I don't plan to go back. I drive quite a bit further for the emergency veterinarian in Pineville, but it's worth it.
