I am writing this review to warn people about this clinic. We are new to the area and looking for a new vet. I found Dr Patel through the Yelp reviews.
I have an Italian Greyhound who needed her anal glands expressed. She has had problems in the past. When Dr Patel examined her he said that her glands were indeed hard but he had a lot of trouble getting it released. Throughout the whole time he was asking me what symptoms she had "like scooting or licking". She didn't have any symptoms so he was implying that she was fine. He managed to get a very small amount of dark material out.
I asked if the glands maybe needed flushing - as my other vet had done that in the past. He basically dismissed the idea and we left.
I knew something was not right. I took her back to our old vet in St Albert and her right gland is clogged and needs to be flushed. The vet tech told me that another vet never should have let her leave the clinic as the gland could burst or become infected at the very least.
Dr Patel was not thorough or caring. I would never recommend him.
