If there was a minus one, that is what would apply here. Small history of me. I have 6 animals, all who have vet care on a regular basis. I spare no money when it comes to their care. Organic food, shots up to date and anything that comes up in the meantime.
This is supposedly an exotic animal vet. I have been there with 2 dogs previously. Each time was without incident but no real diagnosis. A lot of could be's.
Today I called in to find out if they do beak trims on parrots. They do, so I asked pricing and booked an appointment after they told me $25-35. When I go in for my appointment, they say to me, "ok how are we going to do this?" I am sure at this point I have a blank look on my face. They wanted to take him in a back room, where I would not be allowed in. I explain to them that he will be much better with me in the room, since he will not even step up on a strangers arm. I have had this procedure done many times before. Always present in the room. So the girls go talk to Doc. (who never shows himself to me this day). They come back to let me know it's going to be $55 because it is now a visit. I say....ok that's fine, I will pay. The girls leave to tell him that I am willing to pay the fee. When they came back from speaking to him that time, the price was now over $100 plus taxes. Absolutely ridiculous! The going price for a beak trim with a visit is $45-50.
I will be reporting this to the BBB.
