  • I've taken my bulldog here a few times, most recently for what I believed was a serious knee injury. After the Dr. examined her movement and did some feeling around they suggested X-Rays in order to provide more clarity on the injury. When I asked if X-Rays would actually show evidence of ligament damage (X-rays do not show soft tissue) I was told they would provide enough evidence based on the alignment of the bones to make an assessment. The doctor would not provide anti-inflammatory medication without a blood test, which after seeing several other vets with multiple dogs in the last 4 years was unheard of. Yes, we all know the risks of certain medication on a dog's kidneys, but I'm not sure it's worth the risk of leaving a dog in pain based on the situation and the dog's age. The final result was a bill north of $300 and a diagnoses of my dog needing CCL surgery based on the X-rays and radiologist reviews. After calling around for a week and running to consultations I finally settled on a place to do the surgery. Fast forward to the day of surgery I drop my dog off only to receive a call a few hours later from the surgeon letting me know he's opened up her leg only to find NO ligament damage in her CCL. But how could this be? The X rays were so definitive...the radiologists for Ingleside were positive that there was not only knee damage but fluid build up around the knee due to said damage. Needless to say my initial estimate of repair dropped 50% but ultimately I'm out of pocket $1500 and my dog had to undergo unnecessary anesthesia and invasive procedures based on the findings of Ingleside. I will never go back, I hope everyone that thinks about coming here reads this review, and I will be letting every dog owner I know in the valley to steer clear of this place. And before I see a response from them explaining X Rays are not accurate for soft tissue, or the breed has a lot of muscle so it's hard to feel around the knee and tell, or whatever else you can think of as an excuse....let's all agree that the most radical, worst case scenario was your FIRST diagnoses. On top of which the official recommendation was to do an even more invasive surgery requiring the fracturing of her bones (TPLO surgery for those of you who are not up to speed on CCL repair). Thanks for nothing and appreciate the waste of time, money, and my pet's comfort.
