| - Had a really wonderful experience at Monroe Road Animal Hospital (MRAH) yesterday. We are currently fostering a dog for the Southeast German Shepherd Rescue named Hotch, who had some bleeding from his neuter incision site.
As the rescue does not yet have a vet in Charlotte, I decided to call the two closest vets to my home, which are Animal Medical Hospital (AMH) and Monroe Road Animal Hospital (MRAH). I first contacted AMH, who told me that I could walk in and get charged an additional fee for the office visit on top of the cost to fix the problem. I then called MRAH to find out their pricing. They first said to come in for a 5pm appointment, then said to just bring him in immediately since I was a bit stressed due to his bleeding. They quoted me an office visit charge of $20 less than AMH, even with us not having an appointment.
Upon arrival at MRAH, they got us checked in and put into an examination room in short order. Dr. Widay and her assistant were more than helpful, and once I explained that Hotch was a foster dog, she waived the office visit fee, gave me information on where to go to get his prescription for $40 less, and provided me with the name of the woman in her office who could help me with special pricing for vet procedures for 501c3 rescues. She was overly helpful and understanding of the situation, and very good with Hotch, who is a sweet boy but was in a bit of pain and not interested in being poked and prodded.
MRAH was great in this situation and I look forward to working with them more in the future.
