I took my cat there for an open sore that she had on her leg. I told Dr. V that I suspected ringworm. He did a UV light test (quick, easy and no charge) and told me he didn't think that it was ringworm. He said there were more extensive tests we could do but that he suspected an allergy or that she was scratching and biting due to anxiety. He gave me two options, a steroid shot or a cream. The cream was about half the price of the shot so we went with that. I asked what he would do and he said he would probably go for the shot since the results were quicker but did not make pressure me to do it or make me feel guilty for choosing the cheaper option.
When I checked out the receptionist mentioned that if she had to come back in the next 3 months to be re-checked that there would be no fee for the office visit ($40). That was a big relief because an unexpected vet visit was already out of our budget so I was relieved to know that if the treatment didnt work I wouldn't have to worry about the cost of the office visit when bringing her back. Luckily though we saw improvement within a couple days and haven't had to go back.
Even though this office is not the closest to us I will always take my animals there from now on. I love that there weren't any hidden fees and I was informed of my options and not pressured or guilted into the most expensive treatment. And they were open on Sunday!
And I forgot to mention, no office visit fee if you are bringing your pet in for routine shots/vaccines.
