I keep getting spam calls and texts for another dog. I've never been to this facility and now they're putting calendar appointments on my calendar. I called but they refused to help. That's why I'm writing this review. They refused to help me.

*Edit to add- it's been over 2 weeks since reaching out per the directions below with no response. It appears this auto reply message is just an tool to look like the customer service team is engaging customers.*
I typically have a good experience at this location, so they get a second star but this experience made me lose trust in this team. My dog is a long standing patient and medically complex. She was given a new medication and had a severe reaction resulting in an expensive emergency vet visit. We did not receive any written guidance about the new medication and what to look for if she reacted poorly.
The next day Kim called to inform us that we were definitely told about the chance of allergic reaction, although my husband states the the nurse interacted with him very little and he wasn't told about this type of severe side effect. Kim was also combative with me when I informed her the name of the medication was omitted from my view of the medical visit summary, so I had to hunt for what she was given to tell the ER vet. She told me I should just call to get the records, but this emergency happened after hours and I could not have done that.
I strongly recommend banfield select another associate to do these type of "smooth over" calls for people who have had a poor experience, I was prepared to let it go but the eagerness to absolve themselves of any blame is salt in the wound and I will go to another location to get care I can trust. A little apologizing and compassion goes a long way for people who have been banfield customers for almost 8 years.

I’m the absolute only patient there and still 20 minutes past my appointment time 10 minutes in the lobby without anyone acknowledging me and then my dog just needs her yearly shots. These people tell me it’s gonna be $389. Forget the free visit it’s bullshit to lure you in. No chance in hell they weren’t professional they weren’t friendly. They’re not very cost-effective. No go anywhere else I mean, anywhere else.
