I was pleasantly surprised by the care my cat received when we went in for an exam this mroning due to what appeared to be an infected eye.
I called the office last night because my cat's eye looked terrible. It was wet and pussy, swollen shut and she was miserable - not eating and not drinking. The receptionist was so pleasant and encouraging, told me that we could come in first appointment of the morning - on a Saturday!
We arrived and immediately were brought back to an exam room. The tech came in, asked a lot of questions, was very thorough with the health history, answered some questions. Dr. Dobbertien came in shortly after to examine our cat. He spent nearly 30 minutes with us! I have never had a vet be so willing to spend time with us and be so willing to answer questions and talk about treatment and future issues our cat may encounter. I wish my own doctor was so approachable! Seriously can't say enough about how much I appreciated this! When we left I told my husband that I usually feel as though I'm inconvienencing a dr with questions, like they are tired of me, wanting to go on to the next patient. Not so with Dr. Dobbertien. He anwered all of our questions, and offered loads of info.
I would recommend this office to all of my friends and family. They charged $45 for the office visit - very affordable in my book! The only thing that I can see some people complaining about is that the office is a bit older than some. It isn't as modern and doesn't look to have all of the bells and whistles of other offices....doesn't bother me one bit and I'm sure my cat didn't notice. :) Perhaps this is one reason their prices appear to be lower than some clinics.
BTW, did you know that you can use Walmarts $4 prescriptions for your animals? I brought the list of $4 medications to the office with me. Dr. Dobbertien chose an antibiotic off the list which he said would do the trick to clear up my cat's eye infection.
